I've completed the release of the primary server zips/tars for WildFly and
WildFly Preview 29.0.0.Alpha1, along with the associated wildfly,
wildfly-ee and wildfly-preview feature packs. Thanks folks, for all the
good work on this.
These artifacts are available on
repository.jboss.org. We don't plan to add
them to
wildfly.org/downloads.
The 29 Alpha1 release is primarily an internal milestone, which is why
we're not taking the time to add it to the downloads page. We've been doing
a lot of code reorganization, deprecated code removal and other
housekeeping type work since the WildFly 28 release, plus of course bug
fixing and some feature work. The binary server release allows other parts
of the WildFly ecosystem to integrate the results of that work and make
sure all is well. The 29 Alpha1 tag represents the end of the period where
that kind of housekeeping is a primary focus. Of course, there's always
more housekeeping to do. And our user community is certainly welcome to try
out the release.
With the completion of this milestone, I'd like in the next week to do a
review of where we are for WildFly 29 Beta1. That's tentatively scheduled
to be released on June 29.
Best regards,
