The milestone had already been uploaded last week at the OpenOffice.org conference in Orvieto (Italy), but conference activities distracted me from announcing the release officially on the list.
Now you may find the ODFDOM packages of binaries and JavaDoc at ODFDOM's download section. Detailed release notes have been added to the Wiki.
My thanks to the ODFDOM developer community, especially IBM's team for their assistance to make this release possible!
To me the best news from last week's conference is the rising interest from other ODF development teams. Last week in Orvieto the teams of lpOD and ODFKIT showed interest in joining our efforts in a concept of a cross language ODF API such as ODFDOM.
Their programming language of choice will be Python (lpOD) and C++ (ODFKIT). In addition the chair of AODL (another ODF Toolkit Union project) gave signs of interest in joining an aligned approach.
The next major release (version 0.8) of ODFDOM (Java) is planned for the end of January 2010.
This release should roll out the design we already have in our minds, but which has not been integrated to our implementation so far.
Aside of improvements of design, there will be enhancements of our convenience functionality for instance the 'Navigation API' (currently delivered with an incubator status). The purpose of the 'Navigation API' is to be able to find elements and text, based on search criteria (e.g. regular expressions).
For a complete list of possible upcoming changes, please take a look at our task list.
For joining the project pick a task or contact us on the project's developer mailing list.
Looking forward to continuing our important work!
