The Apache James Team (http://james.apache.org/) is pleased to announce that the Apache Mailet Base 1.0 release is now available
(http://james.apache.org/download.cgi).

Apache James Mailets Base collects a number of utilites and lightweight frameworks useful when working with the  Apache Mailet API (a framework assisting the rapid development of email processing functionality http://james.apache.org/mailet/api). Mailets base is used as the basis for the email processing functions shipped with the  Apache James server (an advanced mail server http://james.apache.org/server) but is not dependent on that server.

Version 1.0 is the first independent release of these mature components last shipped with Apache James 2.3.

Hello Couch Potatoes,

Apache CouchDB 0.9.0 has been released and is available for download:

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

This is the first release after graduating from the ASF Incubator.

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.

This release contains backwards incompatible changes, please see:

 http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/BreakingChanges

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.

The Apache ZooKeeper team is proud to announce Apache ZooKeeper version 3.1.1.

ZooKeeper is a high-performance coordination service for distributed applications. It exposes common services - such as naming, configuration management, synchronization, and group services - in a simple interface so you don't have to write them from scratch. You can use it off-the-shelf to implement consensus, group management, leader election, and presence protocols. And you can build on it for your own, specific needs.

If you are upgrading from version 2.2.1 on SourceForge be sure to review the 3.0.1 release notes for migration instructions.
