[ANNOUNCE] Qpid Proton 0.7 released

[Rafael Schloming <rh...@apache.org>]

Hi Everyone,

Qpid Proton 0.7 is now officially available. You can find it here:

  - http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-proton-0.7/index.html

In addition to numerous bug fixes, there are several new features worth
mentioning.

== The Event API ==

One of the consistent pieces of feedback from people using the engine API
is that it is cumbersome and error prone to determine what high level state
changes have occurred in the wake of I/O. The event API aims to address
this by providing a significantly more robust interface for handling
protocol state changes. It is new in 0.7 and will hopefully improve and
evolve with feedback.

== Selectable Messenger ==

The messenger API includes a new selectables API that can be used to
integrate it into external I/O loops.

== Documentation ==

Last but not least, the 0.7 release comes with significantly improved
documentation. There's still a long way to go on this front, but the C API
is now (almost) entirely documented, and much of that documentation is at
least somewhat applicable to the non C APIs. You can check out the improved
documentation here:
