* Backwards Compatibility
* Community Activity
-### Introduction
-This version includes many big features,
-incorporating a lot of improvements and feedback from our community. Thank you!
+### Introduction
-Thanks also go to Brooklyn's commercial users who have funded this development and
-made some major contributions.
+Version 0.7.0 is a major step for Apache Brooklyn. It is the first full release
+of the project as part of the Apache incubator.
-For more information, please visit [brooklyn.io](http://brooklyn.io).
+Thanks go to our community for their improvements, feedback and guidance, and
+to Brooklyn's commercial users for funding much of this development.
### New Features
-* A huge expansion of what can be done in YAML.
+This release is of a magnitude that makes it difficult to do justice to all of
+the features that have been added to Brooklyn in the last eighteen months. The
+selection here is by no means all that is new.
+
+1. _Blueprints in YAML_ In a significant boost to accessibility, authors no
+ longer need to know Java to model applications. The format follows the
+ [OASIS CAMP specification](https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/camp/)
+ with some extensions.
+
+1. _Persistence and rebind_ Brooklyn persists its state and on restart rebinds
+ to the existing entities.
+
+1. _High availability_ Brooklyn can be run a highly available mode with a
+ master node and one or more standby nodes.
+
+1. _Blueprint versioning_ The blueprint catalogue supports multiple versions
+ of blueprints. Version dependencies are managed with OSGi.
+
+1. _Windows support_ Brooklyn can both run on and deploy to Windows instances.
+
+1. _Cloud integrations_ Significant support for several clouds, including
+ SoftLayer, Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure.
+
+1. _Downstream parent_ A new module makes it significantly simpler for downstream
+ projects to depend on Brooklyn.
+
+
+Other post-0.7.0-M2 highlights include:
+
+1. New policies: `SshConnectionFailure`, which emits an event if it cannot make
+ an SSH connection to a machine, and `ConditionalSuspendPolicy`, which suspends
+ a target policy if it receives a sensor event.
-* First-class Chef integration
+1. Brooklyn reports server features in responses to `GET /v1/server/version`.
-* New clouds: GCE, Softlayer
+1. It is much easier for downstream projects to customise the behaviour of
+ `JcloudsLocationSecurityGroupCustomiser`.
-* Networking
+1. Brooklyn is compiled with Java 7 and uses jclouds 1.9.0.
-* Docker support: see [clocker.io](http://clocker.io)
+1. Improvements to the existing Nginx, Riak, RabbitMQ and Bind DNS entities and
+ support for Tomcat 8.
### Backwards Compatibility
-* Persistence has been radically overhauled. In most cases the state files from previous versions are compatible,
- but some items have had to change. For most users this should not be an issue as persistence in the previous version
- was not working well in any case.
+Changes since 0.7.0-M2:
-* If `brooklyn.webconsole.security.https.required=true` is specified with no explicit port,
- it now defaults to 8443; previously it would default to 8081 even in the case of `https`.
+1. Passwords generated with the `generate-password` command line tool must be
+ regenerated. The tool now generates exactly `sha256( salt + password )`.
+
+Changes since 0.6.0:
+
+1. Code deprecated in 0.6.0 has been deleted. Many classes and methods are newly deprecated.
+
+1. Persistence has been radically overhauled. In most cases the state files
+ from previous versions are compatible but many items have had to change.
+
+1. Location configuration getter and setter methods are changed to match those
+ of Entities. This is in preparation for having all Locations be Entities.
+
+1. OpenShift integration has moved from core Brooklyn to the downstream project
+ https://github.com/cloudsoft/brooklyn-openshift.
+
+Please refer to the release notes for versions
+[0.7.0-M2](https://brooklyn.incubator.apache.org/v/0.7.0-M2-incubating/misc/release-notes.html)
+and
+[0.7.0-M1](https://brooklyn.incubator.apache.org/v/0.7.0-M1/start/release-notes.html)
+for further compatibility notes.
-* The /v1/catalog/create method now returns a map of ID to item map, instead of an item map,
- as the call supports multiple items defined in the YAML.

### Community Activity
-Brooklyn has moved into the Apache Software Foundation.
+During development of 0.7.0 Brooklyn moved to the Apache Software Foundation.
+
+Many exciting projects are using Brooklyn. Notably:
+
+* [Clocker](http://clocker.io), which creates and manages Docker cloud
+ infrastructures.
+
+* The Brooklyn Cloud Foundry Bridge, which brings blueprints into the Cloud
+ Foundry marketplace with the [Brooklyn Service
+ Broker](https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/brooklyn-service-broker)
+ and manages those services with the Cloud Foundry CLI plugin.
+
+* [SeaClouds](http://www.seaclouds-project.eu/), an ongoing EU project for
+ seamless adaptive multi-cloud management of service based applications.
