The final 1.1 release of the HiveMind services and configuration microkernel has been released.

HiveMind is an inversion-of-control container that mixes in a powerful approach to modularization and configuration. It is ideally suited for building richly extensible frameworks. Tapestry 4.0 is built on HiveMind. HiveMind overlaps in functionality with the very popular Spring framework, but offers a significant number of its own wrinkles ... and integrates very cleanly with Spring.

Release 1.1 offers a significant number of improvements over 1.0. A few highlights:

• Services and configurations may now be private to a module, and not directly accessible from other modules.
• Lightweight initialization allows properties of an object instance to be configured without having to make the object a full-fledged service.
• The locale is now tracked on a per-thread basis, and may be changed at any time.
• Services may now be defined in terms of a Java class, not a Java interface.
• Groovy may be used, instead of XML, to define services and configurations.
• Modules may define a package; class names appearing in the XML may omit that package.
• Streamlined XML with much smarter defaults for many attributes.
• Support for AOP Alliance style method interception.
• Services may now be exposed via JMX for remote control, and to monitor performance.
• Much improved auto-wiring of services implementations, including automatic dependency injection via constructor parameters.
• Support for building services around the Gang Of Four Strategy and Chain of Command patterns.
• Configurations data may now be injected as a Map rather than a List, by defining the attribute used as a key.
• Conditional contribution, controlled by the presence (or absence) of classes, or JVM system properties.
• Service proxies may now be serialized and deserialized.
• HiveDoc has been improved, both in content and in presentation.

Full details are available in the change log.

Tomcat 5.5.12 has been voted a stable release after a testing period following the alpha distribution. There have been no code changes, so if you already have 5.5.12-alpha, you do not need to download 5.5.12 again. Thank you.

This release is the last one to be done using the CVS repository at Apache. The Tomcat team is moving to the Subversion (SVN) repository as part of the overall Apache initiative to do so. Access instructions for the SVN repository are available at Apache's repositories page. The move is expected to be complete within the next week.

This release is also likely the last one to use the Jakarta pages. As part of Tomcat's move to a top-level project (TLP) at Apache, we will be migrating our content to http://tomcat.apache.org, which is still under construction at this time. That site will have its own download pages and related information. We will keep the key jakarta URLs intact with redirection, but please keep an eye out and update your bookmarks to http://tomcat.apache.org as/when appropriate. As part of the TLP move, distribution names have changed from jakarta-tomcat-* to apache-tomcat-*, and similar minor branding changes will gradually become visible in the web site and documentation. We thank the Jakarta project for its support over the years, and we will continue collaborating on projects and issues of common interest.

The Release notes are available at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/RELEASE-NOTES

Please refer to the change log for the list of changes: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/changelog.html
