WSO2 API Manager 1.7.0 Released! WSO2 API Manager team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.7.0 of the Open Source API Manager.
WSO2 API Manager is a platform for creating, managing, consuming and monitoring APIs. It employs proven SOA best practices to solve a wide range of API management challenges such as API provisioning, API governance, API security and API monitoring. It combines some of the most powerful and mature components of the WSO2's state-of-the-art Carbon platform to deliver a smooth and end-to-end API management experience while catering to both API publisher and API consumer requirements. WSO2 API Manager is comprised of several modules. - *API Provider:* Define new APIs and manage them - *API Store:* Browse published APIs and subscribe to them - *API Gateway:* The underlying API runtime based on WSO2 ESB - *API Key Manager:* Performs Key Generation and Key Validation functionalities WSO2 API Manager is developed on top of the revolutionary WSO2 Carbon platform <http://wso2.org/projects/carbon> (Middleware a' la carte), an OSGi based framework that provides seamless modularity to your SOA via componentization. This release also contains many new features and a range of optional components (add-ons) that can be installed to customize the behavior of the API Manager. Further, any existing features of the product which are not required in your environment can be easily removed using the underlying provisioning framework of Carbon. In brief, WSO2 API Manager can be fully customized and tailored to meet your exact API management needs. For more information on WSO2 API Manager please visit http://wso2.com/products/api-manager.

Tokens to access resources will only be provided for allowed grant types per user role. - Statistics Dashboard for developers - Now API developers can monitor how their API subscriptions & Applications are performing with a built-in dashboard. - Forums in API Store - Developers can now communicate with each other using forums within API Store itself. Public forums will allow open communication with anyone while visibility protected APIs can have their own private forum topics. - Visibility Control for API Documentation - With this release API Documentation can have visibility controls enforced. Documentation can have the same visibility controls an API enjoys in previous releases. Documentation can also be turned off for anonymous users. - Multi tenant workflow support - Workflow extension support available in previous release has been extended to support multi tenancy. - Workflow integration for token generation - Now we allow extensions for token generation. Through a workflow, enterprises can have their own checks executed when a developer/end user requests for a new token - URL templating support for API definition - This feature allows using URL templating when defining API subcontext patterns. URL templating would allow more sophisticated patterns to be provided while defining APIs. Previous support for URL mappings is still continued. - Customizable Store themes for tenants - On a multi tenant deployment tenants now can have their own themes for their API Store. - Statistics dashboard for outgoing API calls - Now we collect & display statistics of backend calls resulted due to API calls happening through the gateway. This feature is useful for scenarios where there is a different billing model for backend API implementations. - Using Windows Authentication (NTLM) to obtain OAuth2 Token - If APIs are accessed in an environment where Windows Authentication (NTLM) is present, this feature will allow obtaining OAuth2 token using NTLM token. - Ability to control external stores, workflows & Google Analytics dynamically - These configurations are now kept in Registry and can be configured dynamically. - Plug-able fault handling logic in APIs - Until 1.6.0 we only allowed creating reusable modules for API In/Out Sequences only. This feature will allow same modular concept to be used for reusing Fault handling logic Issues Fixed in This Release - WSO2 API Manager resolved issues<https://wso2.org/jira/issues/?filter=11881> Known Issues All open issues pertaining to WSO2 API Manager are reported at the following location: - Known Issues<https://wso2.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10810> How You Can Contribute Mailing Lists Join our mailing list and correspond with the developers directly. - Developer List : dev@wso2.org | Subscribe<dev-requ...@wso2.org?subject=subscribe> | Mail Archive <http://wso2.org/mailarchive/dev/> - User List : u...@wso2.org | Subscribe<user-requ...@wso2.org?subject=subscribe> | Mail Archive <http://wso2.org/mailarchive/user/> Reporting Issues We encourage you to report issues, documentation faults and feature requests regarding WSO2 API Manager through the public API Manager JIRA<https://wso2.org/jira/browse/APIMANAGER>.
