[ANNOUNCE] BatchEE 0.5-incubating out now

[Reinhard Sandtner <rs...@apache.org>]

Hey all,

the Apache BatchEE Community is pleased to announce the release of BatchEE 0.5-incubating.

BatchEE is an implementation of the JBatch specification (JSR-352) and this release passes the JBatch 1.0 TCK. Furthermore BatchEE provides lots of useful tools and extensions which are still compatible with other JBatch implementations.

BatchEE also comes with an EE6 module for easy integration with EE6 servers. 

And last but not least - BatchEE is also part of the little great server Apache TomEE.

The released sources are available here <https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/batchee> and binaries and sources are already on maven central

You can check out the release notes here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12314924&version=12334679> or at the end of this email

Best regards,
your Apache BatchEE Team

DISCLAIMER:
Apache BatchEE is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. 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.
