RELEASES/DEVELOPMENT

- Last release was 1.0 on Wed Jun 29 2016

We resolved 0 issues for this release.

Development on Apache OODT has been pretty quiet over the last 9 months,
but we have recently accepted a large new feature into our code base and
are currently working at incorporating that into the mainline branch so
that we can run a release with the new features in place.

On top of that there has been renewed discussion over the last week or so
over the state of Apache OODT development and what we need to do to move
forward with the 2.0 roadmap. This has been organised and we should be
seeing increased development activity over the coming quarter.
