After many months of refactoring and much incubator pain (I now understand the rules to get a release out of the incubator - at least until they change next week ;-)) - the Abdera 0.4.0 release is out!

I’m pretty excited about this. I’m hoping it’ll enable developers to build AtomPub services much more easily. Which means we could see a lot more AtomPub servics crop up. I’m already hearing from people inside big enterprises who are developing their services using AtomPub instead of a custom RESTful service or SOAP service.

This also sets us on the road to 1.0 and graduation. I have two things on my list for 1.0. First, I’ve written a small XHTML databinding thingy using XStream. We don’t quite have the proper hooks in Abdera though. Second, I would to ensure that the ManagedProvider (i.e. the out of the box adapters for JDBC, JCR, Filesystems, etc) work well with the Spring configuration.

Update: please check out the wiki for documentation. We’re in process of revamping the website.
