[kepler-users] announcing Kepler release candidate (kepler-1.0.0rc1)

[Matthew Jones]

Kepler is an open-source scientific workflow system that allows 
scientists to design, implement, execute, and share scientific workflows 
for analysis and modeling tasks (http://kepler-project.org/).

We are pleased to announce the release of Kepler RC1 (kepler-1.0.0rc1), 
which serves as a pre-release test package for Kepler 1.0.0 and is now 
available for download from the Kepler web site:

http://kepler-project.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Downloads

This release has all of the features we plan to include in the 1.0.0 
release, and is made available so that we can find any last problems 
before the final release of 1.0.0.  We plan to release Kepler 1.0.0 in 
March 2008.  Please report your successes and problems with this release 
to the Kepler Users' mailing list (kepler-users at ecoinformatics.org) so 
that we can prepare an excellent 1.0.0 release of Kepler.

Much of the work for this release has been conducted by the SEEK, SDM, 
and Ptolemy projects and by many other contributors (see the 
Documentation page).  Continued work on improving Kepler for use and 
extension by the science community will be conducted by the Kepler Core 
project (see [1]). Kepler is an open project and we welcome 
participation and contributions.

Regards,

Matt Jones
