Hi,

The Apache Archiva team would like to announce the release of Archiva 2.1.0. Archiva.

Archiva is an application for managing one or more remote repositories, including administration, artifact handling, browsing and searching.

If you have any questions, please consult:

the web site: http://archiva.apache.org/ the archiva-user mailing list: http://archiva.apache.org/mail-lists.html

New in Archiva 2.1.0

Apache Archiva 2.1.0 is a bugs fix release:

NOTE: jdk 1.7 is now prerequisite with Apache Archiva 1.7

Compatibility Changes

If upgrading from earlier versions of Archiva, the list of libraries in wrapper.conf has changed. If you have customized your copy of wrapper.conf, please update it for compatibility with the version distributed with the current release. As the database storage has been removed, you can remove the JNDI entry for jdbc/archiva. After upgrading from a previous version, you will have to run a full scan to populate the new JCR Repository. This will be done on first start of Archiva.

Refer to the Upgrading Archiva guide for more information.

Release Notes

The Archiva 2.1.0 features set can be seen in the feature tour.
