+Title: New Releases of GNUe Tools
+Author: address@hidden
+Date: 2004-07-23
+
+The GNU Enterprise team is proud to announce a new release of it's
+enterprise application development suite. This release includes:
+
+* GNUe AppServer 0.0.9
+* GNUe Common 0.5.6
+
+
+GNUe AppServer is the core of the n-tier variant of the GNU Enterprise
+system.  To the front end (be it GNUe Forms, GNUe Reports or any other
+tool), it provides user-defineable business objects with arbitary
+fields and methods. While transforming access to those fields and
+methods into database communication and calling of scripts, it cares
+about stability, security, speed, and consistency.
+
+
+GNUe-Common is the basis for the GNUe tools, such as Forms, Reports,
+Application Server, and Designer. It implements a database-abstraction
+layer that provides support for most major databases. A builtin
+XML-to-Object parser and Object-to-XML marshaller are used by Forms,
+Reports, and Designer to save and read Forms/Report definitions to and
+from an XML file. It also defines and implements an RPC abstraction
+layer that will allow server processes to define their public methods
+once and have them available to CORBA, XML-RPC, SOAP, and DCOM clients.
+
+
+The products are available in source form from our website at
+
+
+  http://www.gnuenterprise.org/downloads/current.php
+
+
+Debian packages for "unstable" will been created and incorporated into
+the official distribution.
+
+

+
+- GNU/Linux (RedHat 6.x/7.x/8.x, Debian 2.x/3.x/sid, Slackware, Gentoo)
+- Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/NT
+- MacOS X (via the available X interface)
+- Solaris 8/9
