[ANNOUNCE] Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++ 0.7.0 release

[Arpad Boda <ab...@apache.org>]

The Apache NiFi team would like to announce the release of Apache NiFi
MiNiFi
C++ 0.7.0.

MiNiFi C++ —a subproject of Apache NiFi— is 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.

Specific goals for the initial thrust of the MiNiFi effort comprise:

   - Small size and low resource consumption
   - Central management of agents
   - Generation of data provenance (full chain of custody of information)
   - Integration with NiFi for follow-on dataflow management

Highlights of 0.7.0 release include:

   - Added several processors (OPC, SFTP and OpenCV to name a few )
   - Added Windows specific processors (ConsumeEventLog for eg.)
   - Improved Windows support (SiteToSite, processor features, OpenSSL
support)
   - Improved performance (related to usage of repositories)
   - Windows build made trivial
   - Fixed many issues including some security vulnerabilities
