Hello! After 14 major releases in the 9.3.x branch, 2 milestone builds and 4 release candidates, the Jetty team is very proud to announce the release of Jetty 9.4.0! Jetty 9.4.0 introduces several new features, improvements and bug fixes. Developers remain a focus of our efforts with several improvements to make implementations more straightforward and flexible.
- Session Manager Overhaul: Session Management <https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/9.4.x/session-management.html> is now much easier to implement and configure. Additionally, there is improved support for managing instances where several technologies are being used to support session clusters (MongoDB, Infinispan, et al.). - Improvements to HTTP/2: Better flow control, higher throughput, thread interleaving, low resource grace degradation and better mechanical sympathy <https://webtide.com/thread-starvation-with-eat-what-you-kill/>. - Logging Improvements: Logging Modules Jetty 9.4.0 have been greatly expanded to make configuration much more transparent and to provide more choices for implementation. - Improved Module System: The Jetty module system <https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/startup-modules.html> that was introduced in Jetty 9.3 has grown and expanded considerably. New modules have been added existing ones have been split up for transparency. Features like module tags have also been introduced to allow for greater flexibility and customization for complex implementations. - Upgrades to Websocket: WebSocketClient has been integrated with the Jetty HttpClient to support features such as CookieStore, Proxies, Authentication and Follow Redirect. Additionally, the Jetty Websocket implementation has received several tuning changes to increase performance. Want more information on Jetty 9.4.0?
