Hi Folks, WSO2 Carbon team is pleased announce the release of the Carbon Kernel 4.3.0.
*What is WSO2 Carbon* WSO2 Carbon redefines middleware by providing an integrated and componentized middleware platform that adapts to the specific needs of any enterprise IT project - on premise or in the cloud. 100% open source and standards-based, WSO2 Carbon enables developers to rapidly orchestrate business processes, compose applications and develop services using WSO2 Developer Studio and a broad range of business and technical services that integrate with legacy, packaged and SaaS applications. WSO2 Carbon kernel, the lean, modular, OSGi-based platform, is the base of the WSO2 Carbon platform. It is a composable server architecture which inherits modularity and dynamism from OSGi framework. WSO2 Carbon kernel can be considered as a framework for server development. All the WSO2 products are composed as a collection reusable components running on this kernel. These products/components inherits all the core services provided by Carbon kernel such as Registry/repository, User management, Transports, Caching, Clustering, Logging, Deployment related features. You can download the released distribution from the product home page : http://wso2.com/products/carbon/ *How to Contribute * - WSO2 Carbon Kernel code is hosted in GitHub. - The GIT repository is https://github.com/wso2/carbon4-kernel/ - Carbon 4.3.0 release *tag* is https://github.com/wso2/carbon4-kernel/releases/tag/4.3.0 *What's New In This Release* - Simplified logging story with pluggable log provider support. - Upgraded versions of Hazelcast, Log4j, BouncyCastle. - Improved Composite application support. *Key Features* - Composable Server Architecture - Provides a modular, light-weight, OSGi-based server development framework. - Carbon Application(CApp) deployment support. - Multi-Profile Support for Carbon Platform - This enable a single product to run on multiple modes/profiles. - Carbon + Tomcat JNDI Context - Provide ability to access both carbon level and tomcat level JNDI resources to applications using a single JNDI context. - Distributed Caching and Clustering functionality - Carbon kernel provides a distributed cache and clustering implementation which is based on Hazelcast- a group communication framework - Pluggable Transports Framework - This is based on Axis2 transports module. - Registry/Repository API- Provide core registry/repository API for component developers. - User Management API - Provides a basic user management API for component developers. - Logging - Carbon kernel supports both Java logging as well as Log4j. Logs from both these sources will be aggregated to a single output - Pluggable artifact deployer framework - Kernel can be extended to deploy any kind of artifacts such as Web services, Web apps, Business processes, Proxy services, User stores etc. - Deployment Synchronization - Provides synchronization of deployed artifacts across a product cluster. - Ghost Deployment - Provides a lazy loading mechanism for deployed artifacts</li> - Multi-tenancy support - The roots of the multi-tenancy in Carbon platform lies in the Carbon kernel. This feature includes tenant level isolation as well as lazy loading of tenants. *Fixed Issues* - https://wso2.org/jira/issues/?filter=12100 *Known Issues* - https://wso2.org/jira/issues/?filter=12099 *Contact Us* WSO2 Carbon developers can be contacted via the mailing lists: - Carbon Developers List: [email protected] - Carbon Architecture List: [email protected] *Reporting Issues* You can use the Carbon JIRA <https://wso2.org/jira/browse/CARBON> issue tracker to report issues, enhancements and feature requests for WSO2 Carbon.
