Notes

• IMPORTANT: Since version 0.6.0 we've refactored nearly everything. Please be aware, that anything you've developed on versions before 1.0.0-beta needs to be refactored before it'll run on this release!
• For detailed installation instructions look at our WIKI
• It is strongly recommended, that you'll remove installed versions before upgrading to 1.0.0-beta4
• Linux packages are split in runtime and distribution packages. So please install both of them. Runtime packages provide appserver-runtime which the appserver-dist package depends on
• For latest updates and bugfixes (this is a beta after all) have a look at our nightly builds
