[jetty-announce] Jetty 7.6.0.RC0 and 8.1.0RC0

Release Candidates for 7.6.0.RC0 and 8.1.0RC0 are now available via

  http://eclipse.org/jetty
  http://jetty.codehaus.org

These releases have a significant re factoring of the NIO layer to
better cope with the features added over recent years and to better
deal with some of the instability that was introduced in the 7.5.x
releases (specially with regards to half closed SSL connections).

We would appreciate as much feedback as you can give (positive or
negative) on your testing/usage of these releases.
