Hello,

Apache Olingo OData Library for Java 4.0.0-beta-02 has been released.

This second beta release of Apache Olingo OData Library provides
support for OData V4 specification for:
- read and write use cases for Java Client implementations (Apache
Olingo OData Client for Java)
- basic read and write use cases for Java Server implementations
(Apache Olingo OData Server for Java)
- basic use cases for Android Clients implementations (Apache Olingo
OData Client for Android).

The release is available for download as distribution packages:

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.apache.olingo%22%20AND%20v%3A%224.0.0-beta-02%22


Apache Olingo is a Java library which enables developers to implement
OData V4 producers as well as OData V4 consumers.

The Open Data Protocol (OData, http://odata.org) is a Web protocol for
querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and
free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this
by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom
Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to
information from a variety of applications, services, and stores.
