• Routing Slip now breaks when an exception occurred
• MINA now supports easier configuration of multiple custom codecs, which is needed when working with SSL.
• Improved TransactionErrorHandler two fold by reducing complexity of internal logic in Camel when working with transactions. And added better support for using multiple transactions in multiple routes. See more at section Using multiple routes with different propagation behaviors at Transactional Client.
• Recipient List now supports parallelProcessing, stopOnException and references for AggregationStrategy and thread pools. This applies to the @RecipientList annotation as well.

Important changes to consider when upgrading

Spring jar dependencies have been cut down in camel-core.

The pom.xml file for camel-core have cut down number of spring jar dependencies to allow Camel to easily run without any Spring .jars at all. However this affects you if you use maven and use camel-core without camel-spring or spring at all. If you want to use JMX with Camel then you need to add the following 4 spring jars required: spring-core.jar, spring-beans.jar, spring-context.jar, spring-aop.jar. With maven you only need to depend on spring-context and spring-aop as they will bring in the other two jars.

See also Camel JAR Dependencies and Camel JMX.
