package-drone-0.11.0-m4
Pre-release
This is a milestone release towards the upcoming release 0.11.0.
Warning: This release of Package Drone does have a different storage mechanism. Therefore is it not possible to simply update the package drone installation. It is necessary to export all channels from the old installation and import them back into the new installation.

This version is a stable milestone version, which passed all unit, integration and stress/performance tests. However there may be breaking changes up to the final 0.11.0 release.
Changes in this release
The most notable change is the re-structured P2 repository generation process. Instead of parsing each XML fragment during the channel aggregation phase, this is done now during the metadata extraction phase. In the final aggregation phase only string snippets are concatenated, which results in a far better performance when adding artifacts later on.
The (hopefully for now) most un-noted change is the change to org.eclipse.packagedrone for the namespace. This allowed us to finally submit our initial contribution.
Beside that a few bugs got fixed as well 😉
