| Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 0.9 |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| The Apache Jackrabbit project is an effort to build and maintain |
| an open source implementation of the Content Repository for Java |
| Technology API (JCR) specified in the Java Specification Request 170 |
| (JSR-170). |
| |
| The version 0.9 release is the first official release of the |
| Jackrabbit project. The goal of this release is to provide a tested |
| and packaged version of Jackrabbit for users who have so far been |
| using custom snapshots. This release also provides a well defined |
| baseline for the upcoming Jackrabbit version 1.0. |
| |
| Users of this release should note that the JCR extensions and internal |
| component interfaces in this release may not be upwards compatible |
| with the upcoming 1.0 release. |
| |
| Incubation |
| ---------- |
| |
| Apache Jackrabbit is an effort undergoing incubation at the |
| Apache Software Foundation. Incubation is required of all newly |
| accepted projects until a further review indicates that the |
| infrastructure, communications, and decision making process |
| have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful |
| ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a |
| reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it |
| does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed |
| by the ASF. The incubation status is recorded at |
| |
| http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jackrabbit.html |
| |
| Release Contents |
| ---------------- |
| |
| This release contains the main Jackrabbit implementation and the |
| JCR-RMI network layer for the JCR API. The JCR utility library |
| jackrabbit-commons is also included in this release. |
| |
| The release contains both binary and source jar files. The binary |
| jackrabbit and jackrabbit-commons jar files are built from the |
| jackrabbit-0.9-incubating-src.jar file, and the binary jcr-rmi jar |
| file from the jcr-rmi-0.9-incubating-src.jar file. |
| |
| The runtime dependency libraries are not included in the release, |
| you need to download the dependencies separately. |
| |
| Each release file is accompanied by an MD5 checksum and a PGP |
| signature. The public key used for the signatures is located |
| in the KEYS file located in the parent directory. |
