[jdev] [ANN] Spark 2.0

[Matt Tucker]

Hey all,

I'm happy to announce that the first Open Source version of Spark (2.0)
is now available. Spark is an XMPP client targeted at business users.

We announced that Spark was going open source in June, released the code
in SVN in July, and now have the first binary release. Some of the major
new features:

 * Support for translations (English, Spanish and Portuguese available
so far).
 * XMPP URI support
 * Better Mac integration.
 * All new tabbed-chat implementation, improved notifications.
 * Numerous performance and UI improvements.

The full changelog is at:
