ANNOUNCE: Akka 1.3-RC2 fresh from the oven!
Mon, 2011-12-05, 22:32
Dear hAkkers,
we, the Akka committers, are proud to announce Akka 1.3-RC2!
What is Akka?
Akka is the platform for the next generation event-driven, scalable and
fault-tolerant architectures on the JVM.
Akka implements a unique hybrid of:
Actors, which gives you:
Simple and high-level abstractions for concurrency and parallelism.
Asynchronous, non-blocking and highly performant event-driven programming model.
Very lightweight event-driven threads (create ~13 million actors on 8 G RAM).
High-availability through supervisor hierarchies with let-it-crash
semantics. Excellent for writing highly fault-tolerant systems that never
stop, systems that self-heal.
Software Transactional Memory (STM).
Transactors: combine actors and STM into transactional actors. Allows you
to compose atomic message flows with automatic retry and rollback.
Remote actors: highly performant distributed actors with remote
supervision and error management.
Agents & Dataflow Concurrency
Java and Scala API.
What’s new in 1.3-RC2?
Akka 1.3-RC2 is more a maintenance release than a revolutionary step:
I includes a couple of important bugfixes, and also a brand new
0MQ integration kindly contributed by Karim Osman!
Highlights:
-0MQ integration - http://akka.io/docs/akka/1.3-RC2/scala/zeromq.html
