Camel 2.10.0 release (currently in progress)

New and Noteworthy

Welcome to the 2.10.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)

• Internal code cleanup to reduce warnings reported by Eclipse
• Moved Spring Testing from camel-test to camel-test-spring component.
• Camel Property Placeholders is now supported in embedded Expressions in the Camel routes.
• Added missing options in the XML DSL for the XPath language to control and set XPath Engine to use, etc.
• Added option logNamespaces to XPath language to have INFO logging of detected namespaces from message. Can be used to aid during issues with having XPath expression works as expected (as often its a namespace conflict).
• Added replyToCacheLevelName option to JMS component, to allow to configure cache levels for persistent reply consumer, when doing request/reply over JMS. Some message brokers do not work well with caching, so users may need to configure this option to CACHE_NONE.
• Added antInclude and antExclude options to File and FTP components, to make it easier to specify include/exclude using ANT style.
• The Camel archetypes for java and scala, no longer generates project with Spring dependency.
• Improved JdbcMessageIdRepository in SQL to use custom sql statements/queries.
• Added option to Properties to allow silently ignoring property locations not found, such as a .properties file.
• Added managementNamePattern attribute to <camelContext> to make it very easy to customize and control the JMX naming of the Camel application. See details at Camel JMX. For example in OSGi environments you can explicit configure a managementNamePattern in case you do not want the bundleId as part of the MBean names.
• Added streaming update support to Solr as well as support for SolrInputDocuments
• Improved Camel Mail to support the replyTo option
• Added traceEnabled option to Jetty component so you have control over whether to allow HTTP TRACE calls against your Jetty endpoints.
• Polished the Camel Maven Archetypes to let the projects be prepared for Testing and fixed any WARNs from Maven.

Fixed issues

• Fixed memory leak issue when dynamic adding and removing a lot of routes at runtime.
• Fixed potential NPE in FTP consumer when using double slashes as starting directory.
• Fixed InterceptSendToEndpoint with a when and skipSendToEndpoint=true should only skip sending if the predicate was true.
• Fixed issue with Bean Binding directly in method name not working properly with method call expressions.
• Fixed issue with using custom namespaces in XPath expressions when using OSGi Blueprint
• Fixed Validation to support xs:import in the schema files.
• Fixed Poll Enrich where timeout was not explicit configured to use the blocking mode. Was wrongly using the non blocking mode.
• Fixed Threads EIP to handle rejected policies to ensure the Exchange will done the UnitOfWork, to ensure the Exchange will get de-registered from the inflight registry.

New Enterprise Integration Patterns

• camel-twitter

New Data Formats

New Languages

New Examples

New Tutorials

API breaking

Internal/Non API refactorings that may affect users

• Removed method setManagementName from CamelContext as it should not be used by Camel end users

Known Issues

• The Tracer may not output all details for some situations such as when using onCompletion or intercept etc.
• The project cannot fully build the site using Maven (eg running "mvn site". There is no plan to make this work as the project do not use the maven site.
• The source code cannot fully build with JDK 7

Dependency Upgrades

• AHC 1.6.5 to 1.7.0
• Commons-codec 1.4 to 1.6
• Hadoop 0.20.203.0 to 1.0.0
• Hazelcast 1.9.4.4 to 1.9.4.6
• Shiro 1.1.0 to 1.2.0
• Spring 3.0.6 to 3.0.7
• Spring Integration 2.0.5 to 2.1.0
• Spring Security 3.0.7 to 3.1.0

Important changes to consider when upgrading

• Moved Spring Testing from camel-test to camel-test-spring component.
• Combination of skipSendToEndpoint=true and when predicate now triggers conditional skipping (you may be relying on unconditional skipping up until now)
• The thread name pattern has changed tokens to avoid clashing with Using PropertyPlaceholder, see Threading Model for more details.
• The Poll Enrich will now block if no messages is available, if no explicit timeout value has been configured.

Notice

• If you want to deploy Apache Camel 2.9.0 into Apache Karaf, we highly recommend to use the 'jre.properties.cxf' configuration, which is part of Apache Karaf 2.2.5.
