-&lt;p&gt;The Apache Beam community is pleased to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-apache-software-foundation-announces12&quot;&gt;announce the availability of version 2.0.0&lt;/a&gt;. This is the first stable release of Apache Beam, signifying a statement from the community that it intends to maintain API stability with all releases for the foreseeable future, and making Beam suitable for enterprise deployment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;!--more--&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This first stable release is the third important milestone for the Apache Beam community. Beam joined the Apache Incubator in February 2016 and graduated as a top-level project of The Apache Software Foundation in December. Through these fifteen months of concentrated effort, a slightly chaotic codebase, merged from multiple organizations, has been developed into a generalized framework for data processing that is truly engine- and environment-independent. Apache Beam has evolve [...]
-
-&lt;p&gt;In the five months since graduation, Apache Beam has seen a significant growth, both in terms of adoption and community contribution. Apache Beam is &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the-apache-software-foundation-announces12&quot;&gt;in use&lt;/a&gt; at Google Cloud, PayPal, and Talend, among others.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Apache Beam, version 2.0.0 improves user experience across the project, focusing on seamless portability across execution environments, including engines, operating systems, on-premise clusters, cloud providers, and data storage systems. Other highlights include:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;API stability and future compatibility within this major version.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Stateful data processing paradigms that unlock efficient, data-dependent computations.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Support for user-extensible file systems, with built-in support for Hadoop Distributed File System, among others.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;A metrics subsystem for deeper insight into pipeline execution.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Many contributors made this release possible, by participating in different roles: contributing code, writing documentation, testing release candidates, supporting users, or helping in some other way. The following is a partial list of contributors – 76 individuals contributed code to the project since the previous release, assembled from source history:&lt;/p&gt;
