The Apache ManifoldCF team is pleased to announce the 2.27 release.

Apache ManifoldCF is an effort to provide an open source framework for
connecting source content repositories like Microsoft Sharepoint and EMC
Documentum, to target repositories or indexes, such as Apache Solr, Open
Search Server, or ElasticSearch. Apache ManifoldCF also defines a security
model for target repositories that permits them to enforce
source-repository security policies.

== Release Notes

This is the first release of ManifoldCF using the GitHub repository, a big
part of the effort was spent converting our release scripts from Python to
GitHub Workflows / GitHub Actions.
This will bring a huge benefit for the overall community because now we can
manage Pull Requests from GitHub in the standard way.

Our Maven artifacts are now published in the ASF Nexus repo and they are
available publicly:
https://repository.apache.org/#nexus-search;quick~mcf

We also have official Docker Images published in the Docker Hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/manifoldcf

We are also pleased to introduce the ManifoldCF SDK, a first version is
available in order to facilitate the development of connectors and
extensions on top of ManifoldCF.
The SDK will create the extensions JAR using the public Maven artifacts and
it will deploy it in our official Docker Image creating your own ManifoldCF
container:
https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf-sdk

The website now is managed using GitHub including all the generated HTML
templates, this due to the deprecation of the ASF Pelican CMS.

Finally we also solved some Ant and Maven build issues, updated the footer
UI and other little bug fixes. Below all the solved issues:
