So far, here's the list of major updates for Abdera 0.3.0. In a few minutes I'm going to look at the dependencies again and see if we can move up to the latest versions. After that, if there are no objections, I'd like to go ahead and create the 0.3.0 branch.

New parser option to enable use of the reader * New WriterOptions interface used to specify compression codecs for output, the charset used, and whether to automatically close the stream * Updated dependencies * Updated Atompub Features Extension support * Georss Extension Support * Updated Atom License Extension support (RFC 4946) * WSSE Authentication support * Support for Diffie-Hellman Key Negotiation based encryption of Atom documents * Refactored encryption and signature servlet filters in Security module * Preliminary RSS parsing support added to contrib module in SVN (not distributed with build) * Other bug fixes - James
