[Announce] Apache Fortress Core 1.0-RC40 released !

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@apache.org>]

The Apache Directory Project is proud to announce the very first release of
Fortress-core, the core library of the Fortress project.

The Apache Fortress project provides a full ANSI RBAC compliant management
and enforcement system that builds on existing open source applications
like ApacheDS, OpenLDAP and Apache Tomcat.

It is a standards-based and open source IAM system that provides ANSI RBAC
(INCITS 359) management and enforcement capabilities to networked
applications and systems.

It's still a release-candidate, and will be follow soon by a GA.

We are working on releasing Fortress-realm, Fortress-enMasse and
Fortress-Commander in the next few weeks.

Here is the list of fixed issues since the code has been injected into the
ASF repository:
