Apache Commons Daemon
Version 1.0.15
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION:
Apache Commons Daemon is a set of utilities and Java support classes
for running Java applications as server processes.
Commonly known as 'daemon' processes in Unix terminology (hence the name),
on Windows they are called 'services'.
This document contains the release notes for this version of the
Apache Commons Daemon package, and highlights changes since

to follow the release early/release often mentality.
