JGroups 3.0.0.CR5 released

I'm happy to announce that I've released 3.0.0.CR5, which will the last 
CR before releasing final. Unless someone discovers a critical bug in 
CR5, I plan to release final in 2-3 weeks. So please take CR5 for a test 
drive and see if everything works !

Compared to the previous CR, there's one additional API change involving 
Streamable. So if you use Streamable, check out CR5 to see if your code 
still compiles. The change is trivial though...

The only major feature that made it into 3.0 is CounterService [1]. 
CounterService is a service which provides a cluster wide atomic 
counter. Any thread on any node in the cluster can grab a named counter 
and increment it, decrement it, set or compare-and-set it, and everybody 
will always see the same value changes.
CounterServiceDemo is a sample program which can be used to play with 
counters.
Enjoy !
