The Apache Abdera team is pleased to announce the availability of the 0.4.0-incubating release! The goal of the Apache Abdera project is to build a functionally-complete, high-performance implementation of the IETF Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) and Atom Publishing Protocol (RFC# Pending) specifications.

This release incorporates many new features and improvements:

• A simplified server side framework and API for implementing services.
• Sever side filter API for intercepting requests and implementing concerns such as security.
• A collection of pre-bundled Atom Publishing Protocol adapters for JDBC, JCR, filesystems, and CouchDB.
• An improved JSON serialization mechanism.
• Many API improvements and bug fixes!

Bouncy Castle/JCE requirement for XML-Security support

To use the XML-Security module in Abdera, you need to obtain a JCE crypto provider that implements the algorithms that you plan to use. One option is to download the Bouncy Castle jar from http://bouncycastle.org/download/bcprov-jdk15-138.jar and add that to the lib directory or classpath. Please see the Bouncy Castle website for more information about this jar.
