The team is pleased to announce the latest release of Narayana - the premier open source transaction manager. The release artifacts are available from maven central. The release notes ( https://issues.redhat.com/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310200&...) include a mix of bug fixes and tasks, the highlights being: - removal of support for JDK 8 (11 is now the minimum supported version); - removal of support for JacORB; - support for JDK 17. We generate comparative transaction throughput figures for each release and 5.13.0.Final performs favourably against other open source transaction managers ( https://github.com/jbosstm/artifacts/blob/master/jobs/tm-comparison). The release does not include the quickstarts but we will follow up with those as soon as we have them working with 5.13.0.Final. -- Michael Musgrove mmusgrov(a)redhat.com JBoss, by Red Hat Registered Address: Red Hat Ltd, 6700 Cork Airport Business Park, Kinsale Road, Co.
