Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 1.0 Introduction ------------ The Apache Jackrabbit project is an effort to build and maintain an open source implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR) specified in the Java Specification Request 170 (JSR-170). The Jackrabbit 1.0 release is a fully conforming and stable JSR-170 implementation. Developed from the same source tree as the JSR-170 reference implementation, the Jackrabbit 1.0 release implements the full JCR API, including level 1, level 2, and all the optional features like versioning, transactions, and observation. Incubation ---------- Apache Jackrabbit is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation. 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. The incubation status is recorded at http://incubator.apache.org/projects/jackrabbit.html Release Contents ---------------- This release contains the main Jackrabbit implementation and a number of additional components. Each component is released as a source jar file and one or more compiled binary jar files. All jar files contain a README.txt file with more information. * jackrabbit-1.0-rc1-incubating-src.jar * jackrabbit-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar The main Jackrabbit implementation. * jackrabbit-commons-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar The general-purpose JCR utility library built from the main Jackrabbit source tree. * jackrabbit-jca-1.0-rc1-incubating-src.jar * jackrabbit-jca-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar JCA resource adapter for Jackrabbit. * jcr-server-1.0-rc1-incubating-src.jar * jcr-webdav-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar * jcr-client-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar, * jcr-server-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar * jackrabbit-server.war WebDAV network layer for the JCR API. * jcr-rmi-1.0-rc1-incubating-src.jar * jcr-rmi-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar RMI network layer for the JCR API. * jackrabbit-textfilters-1.0-rc1-incubating-src.jar * jackrabbit-textfilters-1.0-rc1-incubating.jar Collection of full text indexing filters for Jackrabbit. Includes filters for example for PDF and MS Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. Note that external runtime dependencies are not included in this release, you need to download the dependencies separately. Each release file is accompanied by an MD5 checksum and a PGP signature. The public key used for the signatures is located in the KEYS file located in the parent directory.
