The Apache Abdera community is pleased to announce the 0.2.0-incubating release.
You can download binary and source distributions from: http://people.apache.org/dist/incubator/abdera/0.2.0-incubating Binaries are also available via the Apache Incubator Maven repository. Builds are available for Java 1.5 and Java 1.4.2. For further information, visit our web site at: http://incubator.apache.org/abdera Introduction ============ The goal of the Apache Abdera project is to build a functionally-complete, high-performance implementation of the IETF Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (in-progress) specifications. Abdera is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. Release Summary =============== * A reworked API that improves usability * Decoupled extensions from the underlying parser implementation * A Atom Publishing Protocol client implementation * Updated support for the current Atom Publishing Protocol draft specification * Added support for Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) * Improved Thread Safety * Fixed a number of Classloader issues that kept Abdera from working properly in application server environments. * Improved Javadocs * Added test cases and sample code * Added experimental Bidirectional Text support * Improved implementation of OpenSearch v1.0 and v1.1 extensions * Implementation of MediaRSS extensions * Implementation of Feed Paging and Archiving extensions * GoogleLogin Authentication Support Please feel free to send any feedback to our mailing lists: abdera-dev@incubator.apache.org abdera-user@incubator.apache.org Any contribution in the form of coding, testing, improving the documentation, and reporting bugs is always welcome.
