WSO2 API Manager team is pleased to announce the 1.0.0-Beta2 release of the
world's first open source API management platform. This release is now
available for download at
http://dist.wso2.org/products/api-manager/1.0.0-beta-2/wso2am-1.0.0-Beta2.zip.
This distribution contains several improvements over the Beta1 release
including support for latest BAM analytics features, remote registry
integration and support for database engines like Oracle and MySQL.

WSO2 API Manager is a platform for creating, managing, consuming and
monitoring APIs. It employs tried and tested SOA best practices to solve a
wide range of API management challenges such as API provisioning, API
governance and API security. WSO2 API Manager combines some of the most
powerful and mature components of the WSO2 Carbon platform to deliver a
smooth and end-to-end API management experience while catering to both API
publisher and API consumer needs. WSO2 API Manager is released under the Apache
Software License 2.0 <http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0>.

*Key Features*

   - Publish APIs to external consumers and partners, as well as internal
   users; SOAP and REST services are supported
   - Manage API versions (several versions can be deployed in parallel)

   - Attach documentation (files, external URLs) to APIs
   - Apply Security policies to APIs (authentication, authorization)
   - Attach SLAs
   - Track consumers per API
   - Monitor API usage, performance and SLA compliance

For API consumers:

   - Find useful APIs by browsing or searching through the API Store: view
   top rated, top used and featured APIs
   - Explore API documentation
   - Register applications and obtain API keys
   - Evaluate APIs, rate APIs, and share comments
   - OAuth2 support for API access
