[ANNOUNCE] Apache CXF 3.0.0 released!

[Daniel Kulp <dk...@apache.org>]

The Apache CXF community is proud to announce that CXF 3.0.0 has been released.   After a very long development cycle, 2 “milestone” releases, and lots of testing efforts, we’re glad to say that 3.0.0 is now available.

CXF 3.0.0 contains several new features:
* JAX-RS 2.0 support
* Bean Validation support
* A completely re-written “spring free” JMS transport
* New WebSocket based transport
* New HTTP transports based on Net
* Completely new WS-Security engine based on StAX (WSS4J 2.0)
* WS-RM 1.1 updates
* much much more…….

In addition, much of the old deprecated code has been removed and cleaned up, the required third party dependencies have been reduced, several of the API’s have been simplified, etc…  

For a more complete list of changes required to migrate to CXF 3.0, see:
