Hello,

Apache CouchDB 0.8.0-incubating has been released.

This is the first release under the patronage of the ASF Incubator.

This release is available for immediate download:

  http://incubator.apache.org/couchdb/downloads.html

Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free
document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API. Among other
features, it provides robust, incremental replication with bi-directional
conflict detection and resolution, and is queryable and indexable using a
table-oriented view engine with JavaScript acting as the default view definition
language.

CouchDB is written in Erlang, but can be easily accessed from any environment
that provides means to make HTTP requests. There are a multitude of third-party
client libraries that make this even easier for a variety of programming
languages and environments.

Version 0.8.0-incubating
------------------------

 * Changed core licensing to the Apache Software License 2.0.
 * Refactoring of the core view and storage engines.
 * Added support for incremental map/reduce views.
 * Changed database file format.
 * Many improvements to Futon, the web administration interface.
 * Miscellaneous improvements to system integration and portability.
 * Swapped out Erlang's inets HTTP server for the Mochiweb HTTP server.
 * SpiderMonkey is no longer included with CouchDB, but rather treated as an
   external dependendancy.
 * Added bits of awesome.

Apache CouchDB is alpha software and still under heavy development. Please be
aware that important areas such as the public API or internal database format
may see backwards incompatible changes between versions.

Apache CouchDB 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.

Relax and prosper,

The Apache Derby development community is pleased to announce its first 
release after being accepted into the Apache Incubator, Apache Derby 
10.0.2.1.

Derby can be downloaded from the following page:

http://incubator.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html

Derby is a pure Java, standards-based relational database engine. Derby 
aims to be an easy to use solution for data management for software 
developers with zero administration for end users.

The release serves as a baseline for future development of Derby, and 
to allow users to begin using an official release. It also contains a 
number of bug fixes and other changes. See the CHANGES file in the 
distribution for a full list of changes.

Thanks to the help of Brian Behlendorf, Ted Leung, Steven Noels, Greg Stein,
and several other friendly folks within Apache, BEA has just checked the 
entire XMLBeans source code into cvs.apache.org [1].  It's now available to 
everyone who wants to be involved -- just click on 1+ of the links below [2]
[3][4][5] and join the exciting world of XML and Java binding!

Thanks,

I have not been able to check out the AltRMI code to make the change
myself.  Someone mistyped my userid for the permissions so it is
preventing me to change this:

Avalon Lifecycle Extensions are now in this package:

org.apache.avalon.lifecycle.*

In AltRMI's code base they are in this package:

org.apache.excalibur.container.lifecycle.*


The offending file is:

RemotableExtensionManager.java

Could someone please make the update?

First mail from projects@incubator.apache.org

Hopefully the first in a long series! :-D

Good luck to all!
