[Kal A. <ka...@te...>]

The next milestone of TM4J is now available as a stable release.

TM4J 0.8.0 adds a new persistent storage model for relational databases. =
This=20
storage model uses the Hibernate O-R mapping tool and supports a wide ran=
ge=20
of databases (see the Developer's Guide appendix on the Hibernate back-en=
d=20
for details about which databases are supported). This back-end has been=20
tested against MySQL, Oracle9i and Oracle 8. If you find any problems wit=
h=20
any other databases, please report them.

This release also clears up some of the confusing APIs for object creatio=
n and=20
TopicMap management. Users of previous versions of TM4J should read the=20
chapter "Changes since 0.7.0" for details about the changed methods.

NOTE: Methods deprecated in this release will remain deprecated for the n=
ext=20
minor increment (0.9.0) and will be removed in the following release (0.1=
0.0=20
or 1.0).

I would like to thank everyone who reported bugs and contributed solution=
