Apache Shindig 1.0-incubating released

Apache Shindig aims to make it simple to create your own OpenSocial container by providing an open source implementation (in both Java and PHP) of the OpenSocial APIs. The Shindig team recently made creating and maintaining an OpenSocial container even easier, by publishing a release that supports OpenSocial v0.8.1.

Now, instead of checking out a specific revision or trying to keep up with the ever-changing trunk, OpenSocial container developers can use stable releases in their own websites. As issues come up, the Shindig community will fix them and roll them into the stable release, so developers will just need to grab the new version.

The Apache Shindig 1.0-incubating release is available on the downloads page of the Shindig website. If you've been running an older revision or branch, now's the time to update to known-good state. Of course, the Shindig folks have been busy, so if you're interested in new features, like templates and the streamlined JavaScript API, you can get all the OpenSocial v0.9 features by checking out the source -- and a stable release supporting OpenSocial v0.9 is already in the works!
