                    ==================================
                    Spagic2.0.0, release of 2008-01-28
                    ==================================
                    
New Features In This Release:
    - Spagic Studio: the design environment is a completely new tool BPMN based.
    The processes are now designed as BPMN diagrams and then enriched with all
    the technological information necessary for deploy and monitoring.
    This new environment enables the role separation between the high level process
    designer and the technical designer that will perform the deploy.
    
    Spagic 2 inaugurates also the begin of the collaboration with the 
    Eclipse STP (SOA Tools Platform) Project: in fact a part of Spagic 2 is released 
    within the Eclipse STP Project under the STP Intermediate Model subproject.
    This part is licensed under EPL license, differing from the rest of Spagic that 
    is under LGPL license, but this detail is not relevant for the final user: you 
    can download the entire platform from the OW2 forge.
    The Spagic participation in the Eclipse STP project is the demonstration that we 
    are working on the creation of some powerful SOA tools and on integration of 
    the best-of-breed open source solutions to provide a cohesive and integrated 
    solution.
       
    Another important feature of the new Spagic is that it's not anymore
    strict related to the JBI technology (like the previous version), but it can be
    used with several technologies: now Spagic supports JBI and also BPEL.
    This means the future Spagic releases will supports also other technologies.
    
    - Spagic Studio, Spagic Console and Service Manager: support of execution and
    monitoring of BPEL processes through usage of Apache ODE JBI Service Engine.
    Now it's possible designing BPEL processes with Spagic Studio, generating BPEL
    files that can be edited with Eclipse BPEL designer, deployed on ServiceMix 
    and monitored with the Spagic Console.
    The BPEL feature is a pre-release of the final fully working feature, for this reason some BPEL statements are still missing.
    We'll release the final BPEL feature on the next Spagic release.
    
    - Spagic Console: the console has been simplified, and now it's lighter since
    it doesn't contain anymore the CMS repository.
    The Business Intelligence features are now delegated to the SpagoBI platform and
    are not released in the Spagic Console.
    
    - Spagic JIRA: Spagic 2.0.0 has a new tracking system JIRA based.
