5.0.0.14 (Mar 23, 2013)

<p>
	Juno 5.0.0.14 is a major update.
</p>
<p>
	The biggest change is that the <c>RestSerializer</c>, <c>RestParser</c>, <c>RestSerializerGroup</c>, and <c>RestParserGroup</c> classes have been eliminated entirely.<br>  
	Instead, the existing {@link oaj.serializer.Serializer}, {@link oaj.parser.Parser}, {@link oaj.serializer.SerializerGroup}, and {@link oaj.parser.ParserGroup} classes of the core API have been augmented to replace them.
</p>
<p>
	Adoptions will be required if you have previously used these classes.
