After the holiday slowdown we're getting right back into the swing of things with the first 8.7 prerelease .  Feature highlights include initial commits of the following connectivity: TEIID-1070 Amazon SimpleDB support has been contributed by Radim Hopp.  See the Admin and Reference Guides for more. TEIID-2780 Apache SOLR support has been contributed by a collaboration of Mike Walker, Jason Marly, and Ramesh. TEIID-2627 Accumulo support has been added via a new translator/resource adapter. This is a fantastic amount of new connectivity for Teiid - and we're not even to the first beta.  Together with some other features and lots of fixes we're looking forward a strong 8.7 release. Any additional testing of the new sources or just early feedback in general is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
