[ANNOUNCE] Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta1 released
The Apache Jackrabbit community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta1. The release is available for download at:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.html
See the full release notes below for details about this release.
Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.0-beta1
Introduction
------------
This is a beta release of Apache Jackrabbit 2.0. This release is a fully
compliant implementation of the JCR 2.0 API that was specified by the
Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283).
However, the beta status of this release means that some parts of the
implementation are not yet ready for normal production use.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
Jackrabbit 2.0 is a major upgrade from the earlier 1.x releases. The most
notable changes in this release are:
* Upgrade to JCR 2.0. This Jackrabbit release implements and is based
on the official JCR 2.0 API. All of the features required by the JSR 283
specification have been implemented.
* Upgrade to Java 5. All of Jackrabbit (except the jcr-tests component)
now requires Java 5 as the base platform. Java 1.4 environments are no
longer supported.
* Removal of deprecated classes and features. Jackrabbit 2.0 is not
backwards compatible with client code that used any classes or features
that had been deprecated during the 1.x release cycle.
* Separate JCR Commons components. Many of the general-purpose JCR
components like JCR-RMI and OCM are now developed and released
separately from the Jackrabbit content repository. See the individual
components for their most recent releases.
* Data store feature enabled in the default repository configuration.
* Full text indexing with Apache Tika. Jackrabbit can now extract and
index the full text content of many new types of documents, including
the Office Open XML files produced by Microsoft Office 2007 and higher.
For more detailed information about all the changes in this and other
Jackrabbit releases, please see the Jackrabbit issue tracker at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR
