Preon 1.0

Preon 1.0 is out. It took a while, but it has arrived. It may have lost some features on the way, but I still consider it to be quite exceptional in its ambitions.

Currently, Preon and its dependent libraries are not in the central Maven repository yet. That's a little inconvenient, but it will be fairly easy to work around it, by copying this snippet into your pom. Note that - if you intend to use the binding framework - you only need a reference on preon-binding, version 1.0.

Great!

But what is Preon and what does it do?

Preon allows you to decode binary encoded data using annotations. Think JAXB, but then for binary encoded data.
