+### 24 April, 2014: Apache Gora 0.4 Released
+<p>The Apache Gora team are proud to announce the release of Gora 0.4. 
+This release addresses no fewer than 60 issues. Major improvements within
+the release scope comprise a complete upgrade to Apache Avro 1.7.X and
+overhaul of the Gora persistency API (such improvements enable Gora to be
+used to map much more expressive and complicated data structures than
+previously available), upgrades to Apache HBase 0.94.13, Apache Cassandra
+2.0.X and Apache Accumulo 1.5.X.
+Users can also benefit from using Gora + Solr for object-to-datastore
+mapping with the addition of the new Solr module which uses Solr 4.X.
+
