Back at the end of July I mentioned that the team would have focussed on
JSR-370 <
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=370>... and here I am few months
later, happy to announce that the *first Beta release of RESTEasy 4* has
been tagged over the weekend and it features JAX-RS 2.1 implementation
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1679>.
However this beta comes with more additions... besides for the
implementation of the latest specification for RESTful webservices in Java,
here is a brief list of what's new:
- New async / NIO http client engine
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1025> based on Apache
HttpAsynchClient
- Extended server side async support and RxJava(2) integration
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1701>
- Support for redirect in JAX-RS client
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-1075>
- JDK 9 GA compatibility
The full release notes are available on jira
<
https://issues.jboss.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12335265&sty...;,
the artifacts are built and published on Maven repositories
