[jetty-users] Jetty 7.5.0.RC0 and 8.0.0.RC0

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have released some release candidates for the 7.5.0 and 8.0.0
version of jetty.  The 7.5.0 (and by virtue of the merging 8.0.0) has
had a focus on performance.

The target date for actual releases for both is Sept 1, 2011.

All artifacts are present in maven central and are also available from
the normal download locations at eclipse and codehaus.

- http://download.eclipse.org/jetty
- http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty

Shockingly we are also releasing deb and rpm artifacts for these
builds that incorporate the jetty-hightide distribution.  These are
also in maven central under the org.mortbay.jetty.dist:jetty-deb and
org.mortbay.jetty.dist:jetty-rpm coordinates or also from the codehaus
downloads directory.

- http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/deb
- http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/rpm

We also a couple of archetypes releasing thanks to some user
contributions by John Simone.  These are located under the
org.mortbay.jetty.archetype group in maven central.

- http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/mortbay/jetty/archetype/

Below is a list of the issues fixed in these release candidates.

cheers!
