The older Camel 1.x is still in use and very stable but a few issues have been fixed over the past six months since the last release. Therefore we thought appropriate to issue a new 1.6.3 maintenance release which comes with 39 issues resolved (see release notes) such as:
- Use UTF-8 as the default charset
- Locale independent upper case in Getter/Setter introspection
- Backport per message priority and expiration from 2.x in JMS
- Fix for sending to wrong address in the Mail component
- Fix for asynchronous processing in DLC endpoint breaking message handling
- OSGi related fixes
- Fix multithreading bug that caused getBody() to sporadically return null
- Fixes in the CXF, File, XSLT, JDBC, JPA components
Many thanks to all who contributed and all of you who entrust our Camel to haul your messages.
