The Camel community announces the immediate availability of Camel, Camel Spring Boot and Camel Karaf 3.4.1, the first patch release for the 3.4 LTS version with 6 new features, improvements and fixes.
The main reason we are releasing this version is that we compiled 3.4.1 with Java 11 which leads to issues as described in [1]. Although we already have a fix for this problem (see ticket [2]), we found that it would be safer to push out a release compiled with Java 8 so nobody gets affected by this or any similar problems. We plan to continue compiling with Java 8 until we eventually make Java 11 the base version for Camel. The artifacts are published and ready for you to download [3] either from the Apache mirrors or from the Maven Central repository. For more details please take a look at the release notes [4, 5]. Many thanks to all who made this release possible.
