Salut,

Atmosphere 0.8.1 has been released (uploading to Maven Central now!).
This is the *biggest* Atmosphere release EVER and contains a lot of
improvements, bugs fixes and WebServers workaround. Most (if not all)
popular framework are now supporting us, which is a big win!!!

You can see the changes log here (and pasted below)

https://github.com/Atmosphere/atmosphere/blob/master/CHANGELOGS.txt#L1

This release has been tested with:

Client
=====
Chrome 12 and up,
Firefox 3 and up,
Safari 4 and up,
IE 7 and up,
Opera 10 and up

Server
====
Tomcat 5,6,7
Jetty 6, 7, 8
GlassFish 2,3
JBoss 5,6,7

(put everything in a pot, shake it and pick two, they will works :-)).

I would like to thanks *Wordnik.com* for allowing me (I should say fully
sponsoring) to work on Atmosphere like I wanted and for the complex
problems I needed to work on at Wordnik using Atmosphere (Stay tuned,
this is go OSS one day!).

Finally, gigantic Thanks to this community. This community is extremely
active on all front (emails, pull requests, irc) and THANKS for making
this project a SUCCESS!!!

What's next? 0.9 should contains support for AHC WebSocket, Socket.IO,
better documentation, Native Netty support, etc and targeted date is end
of December.
