WSO2 ESB 2.1 is just about to meet the enterprise

So, first of all... I was not being able to even write a few blogs in the past few months because we are trying very hard to give the birth to the new child of the WSO2 ESB family which is its 2.1 version.

Now it is available for you to try out in the form of beta1. It is interesting that how WSO2 defines the releases.

• Milestone releases - Each and every milestone will add a set of new features, but we try our best to limit the new features in a given milestone to a absolute minimum (like only one) to prevent the issue of finding which causes the regression X
• Alpha release - All features are complete, but there is no guarantee about the stability
• Beta releases - All Level 1 issues are fixed and the release is guaranteed to be stable from the development perspective
• Release Candidates - All Level 1 and Level 2 issues are fixed and the release is ready to go for the GA
• General Availability - Ready for the Production

So, currently WSO2 ESB and its all twins including WSAS, G-Reg and IS are on the Beta phase waiting for the birth to the enterprise...

You could try out this and give us the feed back on any sort of an improvement or issues in the CARBON JIRA

Please note that how you run the samples in the WSO2 ESB has been changed and now you are provided with a new script to run samples... which just do some preparation for the samples before runing the ESB. You need to use the wso2esb-samples.sh with the -sn option.

Even though the release is available as beta for the public internally the development is just about to reach the RC phase with no Level1 and Level2 issues. You could see this with the CARBON JIRA where the active development on the release is happening. I need to sync up the ESB JIRA coz most of the issues reported there are already fixed..

Waiting for your feed back for the birth...
The WSO2 ESB 2.1
