The older Camel 1.x [1] 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 [2] which comes
with 39 issues resolved (see release notes [3]) 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. Download [4] Camel now and enjoy the ride!
