The WSO2 ESB team is pleased to announce the release of version 2.1-beta1 of the Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). This is a preview *Stable Release* with no Level-1 issues of the 2.1 release, which is planned to go out by end of this month.
WSO2 ESB is a lightweight and easy-to-use Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) available under the Apache Software License v2.0. WSO2 ESB allows administrators to simply and easily configure message routing, intermediation, transformation, logging, task scheduling, etc.. The runtime has been designed to be completely asynchronous, non-blocking and streaming based on the Apache Synapse core. WSO2 ESB 2.1-beta1 is developed on top of the revolutionary Carbon platform <http://wso2.org/projects/carbon> (Middleware a' la carte), and is based on the OSGi framework to achieve the better modularity for your SOA architecture. The carbon framework has been stabilized from its previous version. Further, if you do not want any of the built in features, you can uninstall those features without any trouble. In other words, this ESB can be customized to your SOA needs. You can download this distribution from http://wso2.org/downloads/esb and give it a try. *How to Run * 1. Extract the downloaded zip 2.
