Akka 2.1.0 Released

From the post:

We—the Akka committers—are pleased to be able to announce the availability of Akka 2.1.0 ‘Mingus’. We are proud to include the work of 17 external committers, plus the work done by our great community in reporting and helping to diagnose bugs along the way.

This release refines and builds upon version 2.0, which was published a bit over nine months ago. The most prominent new features are

  • cluster support (experimental, including cluster membership logic & death watch and cluster-aware routers, see more below)
  • integration with Scala standard library (SIP-14 Futures, dataflow as add-on module, akka-actor.jar will be part of the Scala distribution)
  • Akka Camel support (Raymond Roestenburg & Piotr Gabryanczyk)
  • Encrypted Akka Remoting using SSL/TLS (Peter Badenhorst)
  • OSGi meta-information for most bundles (excluding samples and tests, Gert Vanthienen)
  • an ActorDSL for more concise actor declarations, e.g. in the REPL
  • a module for multi-node testing (to support you in developing clustered applications, experimental in the same sense as cluster support)
  • a Java API for the TestKit

In addition there have been a great number of small fixes and improvements, documentation updates (including a whole new section on message delivery guarantees), an area for contributions—akka-contrib—where community developments can mature and prove themselves and many more. A series of blog posts high-lighting the new features has been published over the past weeks on this blog, see this tag.

Looking forward to exploring the new features in this release!
