[ANN] Apache RAT Incubating 0.8 Released
The Apache RAT team is pleased to announce the Apache RAT Incubating 0.8
release!
Release Audit Tool (RAT) is a tool to improve accuracy and efficiency
when checking releases. It is heuristic in nature: making guesses about
possible problems. It will produce false positives and cannot find every
possible issue with a release. It's reports require interpretation.
Version 0.8 improves the command line interface, supports more file
types when adding license headers and makes it easier to detect custom
licenses. A full list of changes can be found at
http://incubator.apache.org/rat/RELEASE_NOTES.txt
Source and binary distributions are available for download from the
Apache mirrors via:
http://incubator.apache.org/rat/downloads.html
When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available
at the above location when downloading the release.
For complete information on Apache RAT, including instructions
on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement,
see the Apache RAT website:

Disclaimer:
Apache RAT is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required
of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the
infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
the ASF.
