[ANN] Apache Isis version 2.0.0-M3 Released

After a *lot* of development effort, the Apache Isis committers are delighted to announce the release of v2.0.0-M3 of the framework.

This is a major milestone release that "re-platforms" Apache Isis so that it now runs on top of Spring Boot 2.x.  JDK8 is the minimum.  Some highlights:

• A new convenience parent pom builds on top of Spring Boot’s similar parent pom, to make it easy to develop new apps, along with simplified "mavendeps" pom’s.
• The Maven archetypes have been replaced with Starter Apps in github repos.
• Configuration properties have been refactored, and can now be specified (with intellisense hints) using Spring’s application.properties or application.yml

New features:

• a new @Property#projecting allows view model summaries to be returned as "projections" of underlying entities.
• new layout() method (or UI event) allows a domain object to specify which layout file should be used to render it.
• there is no longer any need to specify @ParameterLayout#named()
• there is now a security integration with Keycloak

There are also a number of new extensions:

• Flyway (integrating with Spring Boot’s support)
• pdf.js (for Wicket viewer)
• fullcalendar (for Wicket viewer)
• excel download (for Wicket viewer)

Other improvements include:

• Integration test support, and BDD (Cucumber) "spec" support have been refactored to run on Spring Boot with Junit 5.
• New demo app to demonstrate new features.
• New smoketest app to catch regressions

Finally, the website has been updated to use Antora.
