[ANNOUNCE] Apache CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating Released

The Apache CloudStack project is pleased to announce the
4.0.0-incubating release of the CloudStack Infrastructure-as-a-Service
(IaaS) cloud orchestration platform. This is the first release from
within the Apache Incubator, the entry path into the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF).

Apache CloudStack is an integrated software platform that allows users
to build a feature-rich IaaS. CloudStack includes an intuitive user
interface and rich API for managing the compute, networking, accounting,
and storage for private, hybrid, or public clouds. The project entered
the Apache Incubator in April 2012.

The 4.0.0-incubating release represents the culmination of more than six
months work by the CloudStack community. The release includes more than
a dozen new features, many bugfixes, security fixes, and a fully audited
codebase that complies with ASF guidelines.
