[jbossts-announce] Narayana 5.0.0.CR2 and JBoss Transactions 4.17.17 Released!

[Tom Jenkinson]

We are very proud to announce the availability of both Narayana 
5.0.0.CR2 and JBoss Transactions 4.17.17!

The release notes for the 5.0.0.CR2 version are available here: 
https://issues.jboss.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310200&version=12323632

The release notes for 4.17.17 are here: 
https://issues.jboss.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310200&version=12323633

In terms of 5.0.0.CR2, alongside some bug fixes, this release has also 
added a couple of new quickstarts, one to show JTA 1.2 annotations in a 
CDI container, and one to show how to use hibernate and IronJacamar in a 
standalone environment. We have also started to release our STM binaries 
into Maven central.

Please do kick the tyres of the release and let us know what you think, 
here are only a handful of issues remaining before we release 
5.0.0.Final. I should also mention that nightly builds of WildFly ( 
https://ci.jboss.org/hudson/job/WildFly-latest-master/) are also 
including the CR2 version now :)

The 4.17.17 release wraps up a couple of issues that were discovered 
during the final stages of productization of EAP. It is worth upgrading 
at your earliest opportunity though most of the fixes are related to 
minor stability issues in the tests.

As always, you can reach us over here: 
https://community.jboss.org/en/jbosstm and the download is available 
from: http://narayana.io/

Best regards,
The Narayana Team
