Hello all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of Akubra 0.3.

  http://fedora-commons.org/go/akubra

Akubra is a Java API that provides read/write access to
URI-addressable files.  It is currently used by the Fedora Commons
Repository software to provide an adaptable, file-oriented low level
storage layer, but it is not Fedora-specific.  Akubra achieves a high
level of interoperability between storage systems by making
simplifying assumptions:

In Akubra:
* a Blob is a finite-length bitstream with an id (a URI)
* a BlobStore is primarily concerned with providing read/write access to blobs.

This release has no core API changes, but several important improvements:
- The core Akubra jars are now available in Maven Central; using
Akubra in a maven project no longer requires special repository
configuration.
- All jars are now compiled for Java 6 (Java 5 has reached its End of
Service Life)
- All jars now include OSGi metadata
- Logging is now done via SLF4J (was commons-logging)
- The JTA dependency is now to version 1.1 (was previously 1.0.1B)

Akubra is an open source project (licensed under Apache 2) and depends
on community feedback and participation.  If you have any
questions/comments about Akubra or are working on a custom
implementation, we'd love to hear from you.  Please join one of the
project mailing lists:
