This release candidate fixes a packaging problem for wars similar to
CONNECTORS-619.  It also fixes a problem with the CMIS connector
and another SolrJ-related issue (CONNECTORS-622 and CONNECTORS-623).

This release candidate provides a better workaround for
CONNECTORS-616 than RC5.  It also fixes CONNECTORS-617.

This release candidate fixes one problem since RC4, which is
the inconfigurability of the commit action path for Solr commits in
the Solr connector.  This needed to be fixed to maintain backwards
compatibility.  CONNECTORS-621.

This release candidate fixes two problems since RC3.  The problems
were in the included jars for the multiprocess example (CONNECTORS-619)
and in connection leakage for JDBC handles (CONNECTORS-620).

This release candidate fixes one problem since RC2.  The problem is
CONNECTORS-618, which relates to MySQL performance.

This release candidate fixes one additional problem since RC1.  The
problem is CONNECTORS-616, and relates to Solr dropping connections
during
indexing.

This release candidate fixes two other problems since RC0, both
related to Solr 4.0.0 support.
- CONNECTORS-613: The version of Tika used in Solr 4.0.0 cannot
extract text unless told an accurate mime type.  While this is
probably a Tika bug, in this ticket we at least make sure a good guess
as to the mime type is sent to Solr.
- CONNECTORS-614: Fix logic having to do with releasing idle Solr
connections.  This shows up as socket timeout exceptions, because it
becomes very easy to exhaust the Solr application server's thread pool
when idle connections are not released in a timely way.

This release includes a significant amount of long-planned upgrading
and refactoring since Apache ManifoldCF 1.0.1, including:
- Port to HttpComponents from commons-httpclient
- Port to SolrJ from homegrown for the Solr connector, so that
SolrCloud is supported
- Improved NTLM support
- Partial Kerberos support
- Many other improvements, which are summarized in CHANGES.txt
