ANNOUNCE: Java-Gnome 2.8.1

[Mark Howard <mh tildemh com>]

The Java-Gnome team is pleased to announce the latest release of the Java
bindings for GNOME. This is a stable release, with plenty of polish, so should
be used in general development. We welcome any new java developers to join us
writing gnome applications and look forward to hearing about your creations.

In addition to new releases, a number of important advances have been made in
the past few weeks:

- New wiki website: http://java-gnome.sf.net
  Please take a look and contribute to this. We now have many new useful
  documents on the site and would really appreciate any help extending these

- Bug tracking moved to bugzilla.gnome.org
  This is a far easier, more powerful and more familiar system to use. 
  We've also fixed a huge number of bugs over the past two weeks, although that
  might just be a cooincidence.
