The Apache Qpid community is pleased to announce the immediate availability
of Apache Qpid 0.10.

Apache Qpid (http://qpid.apache.org) is a cross-platform enterprise
messaging solution which implements the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol
(AMQP, http://www.amqp.org). It provides brokers written in C++ and Java,
along with clients for C++, Java JMS, .Net, Python, and Ruby.

Qpid 0.10 is available from our website:

http://qpid.apache.org/download.cgi

The 0.10 release has undergone a lot of bug fixing and feature enhancement.
We recommend that all users upgrade. A few changes of note:

– The C++ broker now supports priority-ordered message queuing
– The C++ broker and client now implement producer flow control
– The Java JMS client is now available via Maven

A comprehensive list of features, improvements, and bugs resolved in the
0.10 release is available here:

[Announce] The Apache Software Foundation Subpoenaed to Produce Documents in Oracle America vs. Google

[this document is also available online at http://s.apache.org/ReS]

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has received a [United States District Court subpoena] requiring the production of documents related to the use
of Apache Harmony code in the Android software platform, and the
unsuccessful attempt by Apache to secure an acceptable license to the
Java SE Technology Compatibility Kit.

The request, received from Oracle America’s attorneys on May 2nd gives
the Foundation until May 13th, 2011 to produce the required materials.
Apache will, of course, be complying with the court requirement by
submitting all the relevant documents. As an open development group we
envisage the majority of the documents are already publicly available.

More information is available on the ASF Legal mailing list.
