[ANNOUNCE] Release Krysalis-Version 0.9 Release Candidate 1

The Krysalis Version team is pleased to announce that Krysalis Version 0.9
(release candidate 1) development has been concluded.

Krysalis Version provides a foundation for discovery and programmatic
manipulation of version information, primarily for packages. Krysalis
Version will "introspect" an environment to determine what versions are
available, allowing users to assert constraints for their package.

In short, this is in an attempt to automate the common steps associated with
debugging jar-hell (version mismatch) and bring some order to Java
environments.

With Krysalis Version users can automate the tasks of:

1) Ascertaining the version/availability of a given package (say during a
build)
2) Displaying the Java environment (to screen or ant log or to XML)
3) Checking consistency of the current environment (against constraints)
4) Stamping an annotated/attributed version into ones own packages.

.. and more.
