==Core Features==
 +
* Extensible signalling framework for '''application protocols''' (IProtocol, SignalProtocol)
 +
* Extensible transport framework for '''physical transports''' (IConnector, IAcceptor)
 +
* '''Multiplexing''' of different application protocols (IChannel)
 +

==Transports==
:* Applications using EMF can now register its resources using content types
+
* NIO-based '''TCP''' transport implementation (ITCPConnector, ITCPAcceptor)
:* Content types in EMF can be used both in stand-alone and Eclipse based applications.  For the latter, it integrates seamless with Eclipse’s content type support

More information

The Net4j project uses dynamically-generated release notes, using Bugzilla and CVS data to create accurate lists of bugs closed in each build. This also allows developers and users to see what files were changed for each bug, by who, and when. For details on how this is done, see Search CVS.
