[Announce] 1.9.0 released

[Brian Uri!]

DDMSence v1.9.0 is now available for download. This is a stable release which makes the Component Builder framework more amenable to web-based forms by implementing the Serializable interface and using lazily instantiated lists for child component builders. While working with the initial release of the framework in v1.8.0, it was quickly apparent that these limitations would make web-based implementations more tedious than desired.

For example, in v1.9.0, this code will work without NullPointerExceptions:
Resource.Builder builder = new Resource.Builder();
builder.getSubjectCoverage().getKeywords().get(0).setValue("DDMSence");
When drilling down into the child components, DDMSence will automatically instantiate any child Builders which are needed.

Version 1.9.0 is backwards compatible with all versions since v1.4.0.
