Hi Hope everybody had good summer vacation. I had my vacation in parts and have next week as PTO.
We should get started to close down on the upcoming Camel 2.18 release. There is some outstanding work (in no particular order) 1) Finish the spring boot stuff with the starter components. Nicola comes back from PTO and will work on this. 2) rest-dsl to support calling REST services. I am working on this and have some outstanding work still around binding and other improvements. 3) Tidy up the log4j v2 upgrade. Some of the examples do not start with the jetty plugin. 4) Migrate the last wiki pages to adoc files. There is not so many pages left and you can find a report when running camel-catalog build that output what is missing. This will help us with a base-line for maintaining the documentation going forward in the source code adoc files instead of wiki, and we can then generate a new website and documentation for the following release (2.19 or 3.0) etc. But this is a discussion we should IMHO take post 2.18. 5) camel-test-karaf module. This module is in the works but could use some review and finishing so its easier to use for end users. Notice the existing camel-test-blueprint is still favored for doing unit tests which you can run fast and easily debug. The new camel-test-karaf is for running integration tests in a running karaf instance. 6) We should look at the JIRA tickets that are assigned to 2.18.0 and try to fix / implement them, or move them to 2.18.1 or 2.19.0 for next releases. 7) Keep an eye on the CI server to make sure the tests are green. https://builds.apache.org/view/A-D/view/Camel/ If all goes well then hopefully in 2-3 weeks we are ready to cut the 2.18.0 RC. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- http://davsclaus.com @davsclaus Camel in Action 2: https://www.manning.com/ibsen2
