I'm sending this on behalf of Matt Hogstrom, since his emails to the  
list keep getting rejected by the Apache spam filter.

All,

We have some excellent news from the 1.0 release camp.  We have  
incorporated all
relevant feedback for the Geronimo 1.0 release that has come in over  
the past
two weeks and have successfully created a build that passes all CTS  
tests and is
likely our 1.0 Release.

The releases are available at http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/ 
geronimo-1.0/
and the files should be self explanatory but here is the list just in  
case.

Unix Version
geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.0-20051222.tar.gz
geronimo-tomcat-j2ee-1.0-20051222.tar.gz

Windows Version
geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.0-20051222.zip
geronimo-tomcat-j2ee-1.0-20051222.zip

We will be monitoring the dev and user lists and will track any  
issues seen by
users of the server.  At this point there are many items that are  
queueing up
for Geronimo that we chose to defer in the 1.0 release like the  
installer,
better scripting, improved usability.  Everyone on the team has lots  
of good
ideas but to wait for all of them to gel would mean an additional  
wait for the
server to made available in a release form.

Please take some time to download and test the server.  Install your  
favorite
applications and provide your valued feedback.

I'll send periodic updates to keep people up to date on how were  
progressing
with this candidate.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah or  
whatever
greeting offends you the least; enjoy your time off.

Cheers,

Matt
