[Opaltoolkit-users] Opal2.0-RC Release Announcement

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

We are pleased to announce the availability of the 2.0-RC (release  
candidate) for Opal. Opal2 is a complete redesign of Opal 1.x to  
support a plug-in based model where resource providers can be added  
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, URLs for application inputs, and retrieval of  
job statistics.

This release improves upon the 2.0alpha1 release with various bug  
fixes, updated documentation, including the availability of a  
developers guide for the creation of Opal job managers.

A technical paper on Opal2 that was recently submitted to ICWS 2009,  
the IEEE International Conference on Web Services, is available at: http://nbcr.net/software/opal/publications/opal2_icws.pdf 
.

Opal2.0-RC can be downloaded from: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=211778&package_id=297015

Sincerely,
The Opal Team
