After one year of no updates, the first cut of the next major version of Java's top UPnP/DLNA library, Cling, is now available. You can download the ZIP or use 2.0-alpha1 in your Maven build.

What's new:

• Dual-licensed under LGPL or CDDL, this should resolve any legal issues with packaging Cling in Android DEX/APK format.
• Support for CDI, the Workbench app is now a full Swing/CDI application with a nice MVP pattern. We still have to write a simple Cling/CDI demo app and integrate GENA and CDI eventing.
• New demo applications for Cling on Android, with source, available in the distribution and fully documented in the manual. Android platform level 15 is now required.
• Much improved stability and interoperability; code from several production applications was contributed (thanks Michael Pujos!) and we now have lenient XML parsers and processors available.
• New network transport based on Jetty 8 client and server, as any other popular HTTP client is unusable on Android.
• (The bridge and osgi modules are not ready at this time and aren't included in the alpha1 release.)

Please give this new version a thrashing and report issues on the mailinglist.
