Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.1.0 Introduction ------------ This is Apache Jackrabbit 2.1.0, a fully compliant and production-ready implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API, version 2.0 (JCR 2.0, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/summary?id=283). Changes in this release ----------------------- Jackrabbit 2.1 is an incremental feature release based on the earlier 2.0 release. The most notable changes in this release are: * Remoting improvements. Both the WebDAV and RMI remoting layers have been extended to support a wider subset of JCR 2.0 functionality and include numerous other improvements and bug fixes over previous releases. We recommend the WebDAV layer as the primary remoting option, with the RMI layer as a secondary option if more functionality is needed. * Command line repository access. The jackrabbit-standalone jar now contains a simple command line tool for browsing and modifying both local and remote repositories. * Improved JCA packaging. The jackrabbit-jca package can now be used to enable JCA-based access to any JCR repository that supports the JCR 2.0 RepositoryFactory interface. 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 Release Contents ---------------- This release consists of a single source archive packaged as a zip file.
