Some key updates in this release are:
  • EJB invocations now use HTTP upgrade over port 8080
  • This is a major step towards the port reduction initiative we have for WildFly 8
  • WildFly can now be ran as a Windows service
  • Mod_cluster functionality restored
  • Bean Validation 1.1 now supported with JAX-RS and CDI
  • Undertow subsystem and integration improvements
  • Bytecode enhanced entities now supported in JPA
  • User creation script also supports groups
  • Initial support for a syslog logging appender
