Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 1.0

Introduction
------------

The Apache Jackrabbit project is an effort to build and maintain an
open source implementation of the Content Repository for Java
Technology API (JCR) specified in the Java Specification Request 170
(JSR-170).

Apache Jackrabbit 1.0 is a fully conforming and stable JSR-170
implementation. Developed from the same source tree as the JSR-170
reference implementation, the 1.0 release implements the full JCR API,
including level 1, level 2, and all the optional features like
versioning, transactions, and observation.

See the Apache Jackrabbit website at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for
more information.

Release Contents
----------------

The main contents of this release are the Apache Jackrabbit core
content repository implementation and the related general-purpose JCR
utilities:

     jackrabbit-core-1.0-src.jar

     jackrabbit-core-1.0.jar
     jackrabbit-jcr-commons-1.0.jar

This release contains also additional components that offer extra
functionality for use with either Apache Jackrabbit core or any JCR
compliant content repository. These modules should be considered alpha
quality:

 * RMI network layer for the JCR API.

     jackrabbit-jcr-rmi-1.0-src.jar
     jackrabbit-jcr-rmi-1.0.jar

 * Deployable Jackrabbit installation with WebDAV support for JCR.

     jackrabbit-jcr-server-1.0-src.jar

     jackrabbit-jcr-webdav-1.0.jar
     jackrabbit-jcr-client-1.0.jar
     jackrabbit-jcr-server-1.0.jar
     jackrabbit-server-1.0.war

 * J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapter for Jackrabbit.

     jackrabbit-jca-1.0-src.jar
     jackrabbit-jca-1.0.rar

 * Text indexing filters for Jackrabbit. Includes example filters
   for Adobe PDF and MS Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.

     jackrabbit-index-filters-1.0-src.jar
     jackrabbit-index-filters-1.0.jar

All components are released as a source jar file and one or more
compiled binary files. All files contain a README.txt file with more
information. Note that external runtime dependencies are only included
for the war and rar archives. Other dependencies can be downloaded
either manually or automatically using the Maven build system.

Each release file is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP
signature. The public key used for the signatures can be found in the
KEYS file located in the parent directory.

Upgrading from 0.9
------------------

Due to a change in query functionality (JCR-257) a full rebuild of the
full text indexes is required on existing content repositories when
upgrading from the 0.9 release. Reindexing can be triggered by
manually removing the index directories when the repository has been
shut down. You should also add a repository-level SearchIndex
configuration element to your repository configuration file if one is
not already included.
