[jboss-user] [Remoting] - Remoting 2.4.0.Beta1 available

Sat Feb 2 04:06:11 EST 2008

JBossRemoting 2.4.0.Beta1 is now available.  It includes a number of improvements over Remoting 2.2.x; e.g.:

  * Support for server configuration by microcontainer injection
  * Support for multihome servers
  * Better support for IPv6 addresses
  * Improvements in the socket transport
  * Improved connection monitoring
  * Server gets client address in invocations
  * Multiple bug fixes

Remoting 2.4.0 is meant to be compatible with Remoting 2.2.x, in the sense that you should be able to replace an old jar with a new jar and experience no disruptions.  Many of the changes are internal improvements which have no impact on the API.  There are new features which involve additional configuration options, new methods, and new classes, but existing functionality should remain intact.

The new jboss-remoting.jar can be found in the repository: http://repository.jboss.com/jboss/remoting/2.4.0.Beta1

The distribution with source can be found at: http://labs.jboss.com/jbossremoting/downloads/
