WSO2 ESB - The Open Source ESB 2.1.0 is Released

It is done! and is out there in GA for you to try at the product downloads page.

This release is a much more stabilized release, with all the OSGi maturity and the component architecture being solidly applied to the product it self.

You could find the Release Note here to get an idea of the release.

If I list the top 5 features of this release;
  1. Rules support with Drools
  2. Fully AJAX based Sequence Editor
  3. Fine grained authorization via an Entitlement mediator
  4. WS-Reliable Messaging 1.1 support
  5. Full REST support
Well, there are many more you should give it a try for sure.

One other thing is that, we have improved a lot on the documentation... you could get a feeling of the improvement if you have seen this documentation earlier, even if not you may realize that this documentation is comprehensive.

One blame that the industry is raising against open source products are the lack of documentation and we have tried our very best to address that in this release. Don't worry it is still open source and released under the Apache Software License v2.0

This ESB release goes with 3 other twin WSO2 products which are G-Reg the Governance Registry, WSAS the Web Services Application Server and IS the Identity Server which you will find interesting to get your hands into.
