EJBCA Enterprise *6.0* release notes
-----
Having already passed two maintenance releases, EJBCA Enterprise 6.0 is 
now ready for production! The following are a selection of the most 
noteworthy changes.

New features:
* New Crypto Token concept, giving complete GUI support for configuring 
signature and keys, either in software or on hardware security modules. 
Hardware security modules has never been easier.

* CMP configuration can now be done in the GUI, and supports multiple 
different configurations through CMP Aliases. More flexible than ever 
you can easily set up CMP to talk to any type of device, all with a 
single instance of EJBCA.

* The new Internal Key binding concept merges the Certificate Authority 
and Validation Authority functionality. Use the same instance, or 
multiple instances, using the same well known admin GUI as a Certificate 
Authority or Validation Authority or both.

* Full support for the latest platforms. Java 7 and JBoss 7 are now the 
default recommended platforms, faster, more secure and more resource 
efficient.

Improvements:
* More than 300 issues have been resolved during the development of 
EJBCA Enterprise v.6.
