[ANNOUNCE] Apache DirectMemory 0.2

[Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org>]

Hi,

The Apache DirectMemory Team would like to announce the 0.2 release.

Apache DirectMemory is a multi layered cache implementation featuring
off-heap memory management to enable efficient handling of a large
number of java objects without affecting jvm garbage collection
performance

It's a technology preview release. So some APIs can be change in the future.

We hope you enjoy using Apache DirectMemory! If you have any
questions, please consult:

* the directmemory-user mailing list:
