[ANNOUNCE] Apache Abdera 0.4.0-incubating

[James M Snell <ja...@gmail.com>]

The Apache Abdera community is pleased to announce the 0.4.0-incubating
release.

You can download binary and source distributions from:

   http://incubator.apache.org/abdera

Introduction
============

The goal of the Apache Abdera project is to build a
functionally-complete, high-performance implementation of the IETF Atom
Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC 5023)
specifications.

Abdera is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. 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.

Release Summary
===============
  * A simplified server side framework and API for implementing services.
  * Server side filter API for intercepting requests and implementing
    concerns such as security.
  * A collection of pre-bundled Atom Publishing Protocol adapters for
    JDBC, JCR, filesystems, and CouchDB.
  * An improved JSON serialization mechanism.
  * New extensions such as OAuth support.
  * New StreamWriter interface for fast Atom document serialization
  * Improved Unicode performance for IRI implementation
  * URI Template Support
  * HTML Parser
  * Many API improvements and bug fixes!
