Introduction

Apache Qpid Dispatch Router has undergone a significant update in internal architecture as of release 0.6.0.  The architectural change was necessary because the original architecture did not provide sufficient structure on which to implement some of the more advanced and desirable features.  Version 0.6.0 contains the following highlights:

...

• fixedAddress for address "/" is no longer supported.  The default distribution is "balanced".
• fixedAddress entries for which there are phases are no longer supported.  This has been replaced by the boolean waypoint attribute in the address entity.
• waypoint entries are no longer supported.  This has been replaced by autoLink.
• Address prefixes: Addresses may be identified by prefix in address and linkRoute.  The prefix now has a delimiter is now of '.' , not '/'(period).
