[ecf-dev] ECF 3.1.0 released

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

ECF 3.1 is now available [1].  For the New and Noteworthy see [2].

The highlights:

a) ECF REST API
b) Distributed EventAdmin
c) File-based Discovery
d) Work on TweetHub

Again see the N&N for info/docs about each of these [2]. 

Thanks particularly to Holger Staudacher, and the Siemens guys (Philipp, 
Thomas, Viktor, and perhaps others) for their most excellent 
contributions.  Great job to all the Google Summer of Code 
students...once we get through the IP approval and committer approval 
process then all the work will make it into ECF.

Thanks to Ted Kubaska for the build help.

There are a lot of pending additions that are exciting coming up this 
fall, including

IPC contribution - [4]
Newsreader contribution - [5]
Google services provider - [6]
SIP and Jingle VOIP - [7]
Remote services testing infrastructure

and, of course, work on the Google Wave provider, which has now begun in 
earnest - [8]

So...the the next release is going to be extremely exciting!

Scott
