[ANN] Apache Roller 6.0.0 released

The Apache Roller community is pleased to announce the release for Apache
Roller 6.0.0.

Apache Roller is a Java-based, full-featured, multi-user and group-blog
server suitable for blog sites large and small.

"Apache Roller 6.0.0" is the latest and greatest release of Roller;
for more details of the changes introduced with this new version please
refer to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310906&version=12344884

Apache Roller is available on the download page:
https://roller.apache.org/downloads/downloads.html

In summary, Roller 6 is a new version of Roller with these features:
* Web interface has been rewritten to use Twitter bootstrap via the Struts
2 Bootstrap tags.
* Most dependencies have been upgraded to the latest version.
* Compiled with Java 11 and requires Java 11.
* The installation guide has been converted from OpenOffice to AsciiDocs.

It should be relatively easy to upgrade from Roller 5.2.4 to Roller
6 because there are no changes to the database schema (that means you
can easily roll back if you find problems). The user interface is different
and we hope you'll find it better, easier to use, more intuitive and with
a more modern feel.

Thanks to the many contributors to Roller for this new release. We hope
you'll enjoy and find it useful.
