I would like to propose an Apache Artemis 2.50.0 release.
Highlights include:
- This is our first release as Apache Artemis! To be clear, we are
maintaining package & code compatibility and publishing relocations to
Maven so that users don't need to make any changes in the short term.
- The web console has been updated to 1.5.0. Changes include rebranding,
usability improvements, and significant performance improvements for
high-volume use-cases.
- Compression for HTTP is now possible. This will benefit any use-case
involving large payloads for HTTP-based management responses. For example,
if you're using the web console and you have a large number of addresses
and/or queues, if you're browsing a large number of messages, etc. This
will also benefit any use-case where a large number of metrics are reported
via HTTP (e.g. using the Prometheus metrics plugin).
- Broker properties can now be used to configure JAAS. This was previously
only possible via login.config.
- Improvements to the management API:
- Support for adding security-settings via JSON.
- The AddressControl now reports whether an address is blocked via
management using the BlockedViaManagement attribute. Previously it was
unclear if message production to the address had been blocked via the
'block' management operation.
- The QueueControl now has ability to "retry" messages in a DLQ using a
filter.
- The 'consumer' CLI command now supports 'subscriptionName' for JMS
durable subscriber use-cases.
- There are two new TLS transport options - crcOptions & ocspResponderURL.
These will help with certificate management.
- The new 'disk-full-policy' address-setting allows different behaviors
when the broker's disk fills up instead of always blocking.
- There's a new 'artemis-jakarta-client' feature for Karaf use-cases
needing Jakarta compatibility.
