Congratulations to your team!

I'm looking forward to using the REST features, and I'm looking forward to more

Subject: [Architecture] [ANN] WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus 4.0.3 Released!!

The WSO2 ESB team is pleased to announce the release of version 4.0.3 of the 
Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).

WSO2 ESB is a fast, lightweight and user friendly open source Enterprise 
Service Bus (ESB) distributed under the
Apache Software Licensev2.0<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html> 
.WSO2 ESB allows system administrators
and developers to easily configure message routing, inter 
mediation,transformation, logging, task scheduling, fail over routing
and load balancing. It also supports transport switching, eventing, rule based 
mediation and priority based mediation for advanced
integration requirements. The ESB runtime is designed to be completely 
asynchronous, non-blocking and streaming based on
the Apache Synapse<http://synapse.apache.org/> mediation engine.

WSO2 ESB  4.0.3  is developed on top of the revolutionary WSO2 Carbon 
platform<http://wso2.org/projects/carbon> (Middlewarea' la carte),
an OSGi based framework that provides seamless modularity to your SOA via 
componentization. This release also contains many new features
and a range of optional components (add-ons) that can be installed to customize 
the behavior of the ESB. Further, any existing features of the ESB
which are not required to your environment can be easily removed using the 
underlying provisioning framework of Carbon. In brief, WSO2 ESB can be
fully customized and tailored to meet your exact SOA needs.

You can download this distribution from http://wso2.org/downloads/esb and give 
it a try.
