+1, I've gone ahead and updated the version number.   On a site note, 
some of the LDAPIdentityStore tests have started failing and I'm not 
sure why.  Anil, if you have time could you please take a look at this?  
Otherwise I can delve deeper into it later today.

I'm -1 on renaming core to cdi.  To me this seems like a ridiculous 
idea, akin to Spring Security calling their core module "spring", or 
Hibernate calling their core module "db".  If we're going to be pushing 
PicketLink as being a complete security integration framework for EE6 
then it would be redundant and non-intuitive to name the core module 
cdi.  As for PicketLink Federation, if there is an SE requirement for it 
then we can just implement it as a submodule like we've done for IDM, 
and make a note in the documentation that it is possible to use it 
standalone in an SE environment.
