| [ecf-dev] ECF 3.13.8 |
Hi Folks,I'm happy to report that ECF 3.13.8 is released. 3.13.8 is a maintenance release with just a couple of bug fixes [1].
As usual, download is here [2].There's a bit of an issue with the maven central certificate handling at the moment, and so it may be a couple of days before the two bundles that were changed in 3.13.8 are deployed to maven central. I will make another short announcement when that is complete.
FWIW, it seems that particularly with the Internet of Things, ECF's impl of OSGi Remote Services/Remote Service Admin is getting some serious usage. I believe that the transport independent nature of ECF's impl provides great advantages for those looking to create lightweight, dynamic distributed services, without having to bind service consumers (e.g. clients) to a single protocol. Combine this with (e.g.) dynamic dependency mgmt and injection, and it provides a very powerful way to construct distributed middleware and applications.
Thanks and onwards, Scott[1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&chfieldfrom=2017-06-26&chfieldto=Now&classification=RT&list_id=16701221&product=ECF&query_format=advanced
