Joda release 0.8 available

Version 0.8 of the Joda beans and dates project is now available. Joda aims to provide 'next generation' solutions for core parts of the Java API.

The Joda dates subproject has expanded considerably since the last release and is now the main focus of the Joda project. The aim is to provide a complete rewrite of the Java Date and Calendar classes that have caused much grief over the years.

This release is a major milestone as it includes the main architecture to support dates in multiple calendar systems, including parsing and formatting.

The Joda beans subproject aims to improve on the out of date Java beans specification. The code has been optimised for this release and is now in use in production environments.
