Camel 2.6.0 release (currently in progress)
New and Noteworthy
Welcome to the 2.6.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)
- Fixed issue in OSGi with refreshing Camel bundles causing a race condition when discovering type converters
- Introduced ScheduledRoutePolicy with the Quartz component
- Java DSL RouteBuilder now fails if
onException
and the likes are not configured before routes, which they must. - Easier to debug routes from
camel-test
using the Debugger - Fixed problem installing
camel-cxf
feature on Apache Karaf. - The EIP now supports property placeholders in the
String
based options (a few spots in Java DSL where its not possible). For example:<convertBodyTo type="String" charset="{{foo.myCharset}}"/>
- Introduced ScheduledRoutePolicy to allow you to schedule when routes should be active.
- Introduced
stepwise
option to FTP component to allow end users to control how to traverse directories of the FTP servers. This allows you to setstepwise=false
to return back to the behavior from Camel 2.0 - 2.4. See more at the FTP documentation. - Thread names now outputs CamelContext name which makes it easier to differentiate when running multiple Camel applications in the same JVM.
