Hi again, Since the release of Restlet 1.0 in May 2007, the community has been moving the project forward very actively, through discussions, suggestions and code contributions.
We can't name all contributors here (see updated list at http://www.restlet.org/about/team) but would like to give some special thanks to: - Alex Milowski, Avi Flax, Marc Portier, Rob Heittman and Stian Soiland for their constant support and frequent contributions. - Jean-François Arcand (Sun Microsystems) for giving a helpful hand on the Grizzly connector. - Kevin Conaway for the numerous and excellent code contributions on the HTTP internal connectors front (additional test cases, chunked encoding support, etc.). - Sean Landis (Overstock.com) for contributing the new JAXB extension. - Tim Peierls for raising crucial issues related to thread safety. We have now reached our first milestone towards the release of Restlet 1.1 which is scheduled for the beginning of Q2 2008. Here is a summary of the main changes: - Resource refactoring into a lower-level class (Handler) and more clearly defined higher-level methods. - Many improvements to facilitate the usage with Spring - Added Component's internal router to modularize large applications - Added RIAP scheme for optimized internal dispatching - Added built-in HTTP client and server connectors to NRE (BIO) - Added experimental Grizzly HTTP server (full NIO) - Added experimental WADL extension to configure components - Representations can now be exposed via BIO Reader/Writer - Added a new JAXB extension for easy XML to POJO mappings Changes log: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/changes Download links: http://www.restlet.org/downloads/1.1/restlet-1.1-M1.zip http://www.restlet.org/downloads/1.1/restlet-1.1-M1.exe Maven repositories: http://maven.restlet.org will be updated on 01/01 http://maven.noelios.com has the new artifacts Happy Holidays, Jerome Louvel Thierry Boileau
