Camel 2.15.0 release (currently in progress)

New and Noteworthy

Welcome to the 2.15.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)

• Component documentation now included in the built component JARs. And Java API and JMX API to access that documentation. And APIs to explain an endpoint uri and what all those configured options mean. 
• Component can now have associated label(s) which are used for grouping components into: core, database, messaging, http, rest, etc.
• Provide Configurer for user to configure the CXF conduit and CXF destination from Java code
• Added a DelegateEndpoint interface into Camel API
• Support to setup the SslContextParameters in the camel-restlet component
• Java DSL - Should support nested choice in doTry .. doCatch
• MongoDb component now stores OIDs of the inserted records in the message header
• Added org.apache.camel.spi.CamelContextRegistry as a replacement for org.apache.camel.spi.Container and acting as global registry for all CamelContexts' in the JVM. Though its still intended for SPI's to hook into the lifecycle of creation of CamelContext's and being able to influence behavior - such as adding insight or other capabilities.
• Recipient List now supports specifying custom Exchange Pattern in the endpoint ur's
• Type Converter to enum's is now case insensitive, so you can convert safely level=info to an enum with name Level.INFO etc.
• XSLT and Validation components now provides all their endpoint configurations in the endpoint, and not only in the component, making these components like any other components.
• Made the Camel Karaf Commands reusable by moving common code into a camel-commands-core module that SPI can extend and plugin Camel commands for other environments.
  
  

Fixed issues

• Fixed the NullPointerException when using CXF endpoint with enrich
• Fixed the endpointProperty of restConfiguration doesn't work issue
• Fixed the issue that CircuitBreakerLoadBalancer fails on async processors

New Enterprise Integration Patterns

New Components

• camel-beanstalk - for working with Amazon Beanstalk jobs.
• camel-docker - to communicate with Docker.
• camel-github - for integrating with github
• camel-jira - for integrating with JIRA issue tracker
• camel-scr - for using Camel with SCR (OSGi declarative services) on OSGi containers such as Apache Karaf
• camel-spring-boot - for using Camel with Spring Boot
• camel-test-spring40 - for testing with Spring 4.0.x. camel-test-spring is for Spring 4.1.x onwards.

Known Issues

Dependency Upgrades

• AWS-Java-SDK 1.8.3 to 1.8.9.1
• Codahale Metrics 3.0 to 3.1
• Guava 17.0 to 18.0
• Jsch 0.1.50 to 0.1.51
• Spring 4.0.7.RELEASE to 4.1.1.RELEASE
• Spring Security 3.1.7.RELEASE to 3.2.5.RELEASE
• ... and many other upgrades

Important changes to consider when upgrading

• Spring 4.1.x is now the default out of the box Spring version.
• Unit testing with Spring 4.0.x requires using camel-test-spring40, as camel-test-spring is for Spring 4.1 or better.
• Remember to add @BootstrapWith(CamelTestContextBootstrapper.class) if upgrading from Spring 3.x or 4.0.x to Spring 4.1 onwards, and using the camel-test-spring module.
• XSLT component now require configuring transformerFactory using URIs with the #syntax to refer to a bean. Just like any other component would do.
• Slight refactor in camel-metrics component which may affect users who are using the java endpoint types instead of configuring using uris
