*Dear hAkkers,*
We—the Akka committers—are pleased to be able to announce the availability of Akka 2.4.1. This release contains a few important fixes and improvements: - Shard region now kills shards more consistently on HandOff - An empty shard region now shuts down correctly on graceful shutdown - Using the distributed data mode the sharding coordinator updates correctly after leader downing - Possibility to provide a custom supervision strategy for the BackOffSupervisor - Problem with split brain on cluster startup under some circumstances solved The complete list of closed tickets can be found in the 2.4.1 github issues milestone <https://github.com/akka/akka/issues?q=milestone%3A2.4.1>. Akka 2.4.1 is released for Scala 2.11, 2.12.0-M3 and Java 8.
