CloudI (https://cloudi.org/) is a "universal integrator" using an
Erlang core to provide fault-tolerance with efficiency and scalability.
The CloudI API provides a minimal interface to communicate among
services so programming language agnostic and protocol agnostic
integration can occur.  CloudI currently integrates with the
programming languages: C/C++, Elixir, Erlang, Go, Haskell, Java,
JavaScript/node.js, OCaml, PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby,  Many reusable
services are included that rely on the CloudI service bus.

The details for this release are below:
   * backwards compatibility difference:
     * ACL strings do not get a "*" automatically appended on
       non-patterns, so exact strings may be used as an ACL string
   * Unicode support was added for external service configuration
     (file_path, args, env) and any other string or function use
   * CloudI API now has a shutdown function for external services
     (internal services always had the shutdown return value)
   * Fixed CloudI Service API services_add failure with multiple
     service configurations to handle data properly
   * Fixed service configuration option count_process_dynamic
     so it doesn't influence a pending service termination
   * Erlang services were added:
     * cloudi_service_api_batch executes services with batch queues
     * cloudi_service_cron sends service requests for cron expressions
     * cloudi_service_shell executes service request shell commands
   * Java service cloudi_service_htmlunit was created
     (see https://github.com/CloudI/cloudi_service_htmlunit/ )
   * Haskell GHC 8.8.1 support was added
   * Bugs were fixed and other improvements were added
     (see the ChangeLog for more detail)

Please mention any problems, issues, or ideas!
Thanks,
Michael
