[Opaltoolkit-users] Release Announcement: Opal2.0alpha1

[Sriram K. <sr...@sd...>]

We are pleased to release the 2.0alpha1 version of Opal for testing  
purposes. Opal2 is a complete redesign of Opal 1.x to support a plug- 
in based model where resource providers can be added in easily at the  
back-end. State management is now provided via Hibernate, which means  
that the dashboard will work out of the box using the in-memory HSQL  
database. WSDL improvements include support for MIME attachments and  
URLs for application inputs.

Opal 2.0 is not backwards compatible with Opal 1.x due to the  
modifications required to the WSDL. We anticipate a few more changes  
to the WSDL before the stable release. This release is mostly to  
provide the users a feel for the upcoming changes.

Opal2.0alpha1 can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=211778&package_id=297015

Sincerely,
Opal Team
