[ANNOUNCE] Apache NiFi MiNiFi 0.4.0 release

[Aldrin Piri <al...@apache.org>]

The Apache NiFi team would like to announce the release of Apache NiFi MiNiFi 0.4.0.

Apache NiFi is an easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data.  Apache NiFi was made for dataflow.  It supports highly configurable directed graphs of data routing, transformation, and system mediation logic.

MiNiFi is a subproject of Apache NiFi.  MiNiFi provides a complementary data collection approach that supplements the core tenets of NiFi in dataflow management, focusing on the collection of data at the source of its creation.

The 0.4.0 release features upgraded support for communicating with NiFi 1.5.0, updates to the configuration toolkit to aid users in transforming NiFi templates into MiNiFi configs, and improves error reporting.
