[ANNOUNCE] Apache Portals Pluto 3.0.0 release

The Apache Portals team is pleased to announce the General Availability =
of Apache Pluto version 3.0.0

The JSR 362 Portlet Specification 3.0 introduces many improvements to =
the portlet programming model.
It adds configuration through annotation, asynchronous support similar =
to the servlet asynchronous support,
multipart form support, support for CDI beans, method annotation support =
allowing portlet methods to
reside in different classes, and a JavaScript API that allows portal =
pages to function as single-page applications.

The Pluto 3.0 portlet container implements all JSR 362 features and =
passes the TCK. While doing so,
Pluto 3.0 remains fully compliant to the 2.0 Portlet Specification, =
meaning that version 2.0 portlets can run on
the version 3.0 portlet container.

Additional Resources:

The Java Community Process JSR 362 page will allow you to access the =
complete specification for full details.
