h2. New and Noteworthy

Welcome to the 2.5.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)

* Added {{suspend/resume}} operations to [CamelContext] for _warm_ restarts, or as the preferred way to temporary stop a running Camel application, and then later resume it. Those operations is also available in [JMX|Camel JMX].
* Improved management of routes in [JMX|Camel JMX]. You can now suspend/resume routes which support suspension. There is a new {{removeRoute}} to remove a route from [JMX|Camel JMX]. Routes with {{autoStartup=false}} is now also listed in [JMX|Camel JMX], to allow you to start the routes manually.
* [FTP|FTP2] now supports MSV file systems. The ftp consumer will now traverse the directory structure using a {{cd <dir>, list files in cur dir}} pattern, as opposed to a {{list files <dir>}} style.
* Fixed issue with using multiple [HTTP] endpoints with the only difference being {{httpClient}} parameters.
* Fixed issue with [Stream Caching] and deleting temporary files on Windows.
* Server thread pool settings can be configured on [Jetty] component.
* Easier to configure general HTTP/SSL socket connector properties on [Jetty] component.
* Fixed issue with sending an {{InOut}} message to [Dead Letter Channel] would cause Camel to expect a reply. Now the message will always be send to the DLQ as {{InOnly}}.
* Fixed issue when sending to a [JMS] destination, the option {{disableReplyTo}} was not used.
* Added two new functions to [XPath] to leverage [Properties] component and [Simple] language.
* Fixed issue when running [Jetty] server under heavy load throwing {{IllegalStateException}}
* [JMS] uses [Asynchronous Routing Engine] for [Request Reply] messaging over JMS.
* Fixed issue with a route could mistakenly pick up a route scoped [OnException|Exception Clause] from another route.
* Fixed an issue with starting {{CamelContext}} after it had been shutdown, leading to routes not properly being re-initialized and started.
* The [File|File2] and [FTP|FTP2] consumers now support using {{preMove}} together with either {{noop}} or {{delete}} options.
* Fixed issue when starting a Camel application using {{autoStartup=false}} on {{CamelContext}} should still startup but _just not_ start the route consumers. This ensures [Camel JMX] is started and you can manage the Camel application and manually start the routes afterwards.

h2. Important changes to consider when upgrading

* Support for [JMS] API 1.0.2 has been removed.
* The {{stopRoute}} method on {{CamelContext}} now leverages [Graceful shutdown] when stopping. This is more intuitive to stop routes in a graceful and safe manner. You can the stop method with a timeout if you want to force stopping.
