[jetty-discuss] Release 6.0.0rc1

[Greg W. <gr...@mo...>]

Jetty release candidate 6.0.0rc1 is now available via http://jetty.mortbay.org

While the changes list is large for an RC, many of these items are new features 
that are isolated in their own modules (and will not be stable for 6.0.0).

There was only one major change to the core protocol engine (direct filling of
static content), so stability is close even if it does not look it.

The next release is targeted for the end of August and I hope that will be
a 6.0.0 rather than an rc2
