Once the files are mirrored, I'll make the announcement via the mailing lists, wiki and blog. The Apache Roller team is pleased to announce that the project has graduated from the Apache Incubator and we've made available the long awaited Apache Roller 3.1, our first official Apache release. First, the big news: we've graduated! In our time in the Apache Incubator we grew the already diverse Roller community, demonstrated our commitment to and understanding of Apache governance, reviewed all of our code to ensure compliance with Apache licensing policies and made major improvements in the Roller software. Now we've met all graduation requirements, the ASF board has passed our [graduation resolution|https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk/tlp-resolution.txt] and we're an official top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation, hosted at [http://roller.apache.org]. And last but not least, the big new release. Roller 3.1 is a major new release that includes support for tagging (contributed by IBM), an improved weblog editor based on Xinha, numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
