Announce: Apache XML-RPC 3.0b1

[Jochen Wiedmann <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

the Apache XML-RPC team is proud to announce the availability of Apache
XML-RPC 3.0 beta 1. Version 3 is a complete rewrite of the original code
base, which is much more powerful than its predecessor by offering a lot of
so-called vendor extensions:

- A streaming mode (which violates the XML-RPC extension by not
  sending a Content-Length header) allows clients and servers with an
  extremely low memory profile, regardless of the data size.
- A lot of new data types are supported, including null, Calendar
  (xs:dateTime compliant), byte, short, long, float, big integer,
  big decimal, Serializable, DOM nodes, and JAXB elements.
- Auto conversion between object arrays, lists, and vectors, or maps,
  hash tables, and properties simplifies authoring of XML-RPC clients.
- Compression is supported

The road map intends to publish an RC1 version in four and the final version
in eight weeks. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Jochen Wiedmann
