Draft Release Notes

Apache Pekko HTTP 1.0.0 is based on Akka HTTP 10.2.10. Pekko came about as a result of Lightbend's decision to make future Akka releases under a Business Software License, a license that is not compatible with Open Source usage.

Apache Pekko has changed the package names, among other changes. Config names have changed to use `pekko` instead of `akka` in their names.

Users switching from Akka to Pekko should read our Migration Guide.

Generally, we have tried to make it as easy as possible to switch existing Akka based projects over to using Pekko.

We have gone through the code base and have tried to properly acknowledge all third party source code in the Apache Pekko code base. If anyone believes that there are any instances of third party source code that is not properly acknowledged, please get in touch.

Bug Fixes

We haven't had to fix many significant bugs that were in Akka HTTP 10.2.10.

Additions

  • Scala 3 support (PR150)
  • Added pekko-http-cors (PR208)

Other Changes

  • Remove http2-support module. The code has long been part of the pekko-http-core (PR52)

Dependency Upgrades

We have tried to limit the changes to third party dependencies that are used in Pekko HTTP 1.0.0. These are some exceptions:

  • parboiled 2.5.0 (PR14). We have dropped the use of the internal Akka/Pekko copy of parboiled in favour of using the jar directly. There have been reports of small binary compatibility issues between parboiled 2.4.1 and parboiled 2.5.0 (#174).
  • Jackson 2.14.3
  • scalatest 3.2.14. Pekko users who have existing tests based on Akka Testkit may need to migrate their tests due to the scalatest upgrade. The scalatest 3.2 release notes have a detailed description of the changes needed.
