[VOTE] Release Apache Knox 0.9.0

[larry mccay <lm...@apache.org>]

A candidate for the Apache Knox 0.9.0 release is available at:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/knox/knox-0.9.0/

The release candidate is a zip archive of the sources in:

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/knox.git
Branch v0.9.0 (git checkout -b v0.9.0)

The KEYS file for signature validation is available at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/knox/KEYS

The driving usecases for the 0.9.0 release have been defined as the
following:
1. SSO participation by applications like Ranger and Ambari while being
proxied through the gateway.
2. Authentication natively done by Ranger and Ambari applications while
being proxied through Knox.
3. the usecase of a custom application like the Knoxplorer sample can now
be hosted by Knox and this needs to be covered and tested with KnoxSSO.
4. Default Knox authentication with form based application as KnoxSSO IDP.
5. any additional API support and various features and improvements.

I will send out updated wiki's for testing KnoxSSO with Ambari and/or
Ranger based on the 0.8.0 release pages. Keep an eye out for that email.

In the meantime, the documented verification and testing process can be
followed.

Please vote on releasing this package as Apache Knox 0.9.0.
The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if a majority of at
least three +1 Apache Knox PMC votes are cast.
