May 7, 2014 / Android, Annoucements, Flex, GraniteDS, JavaFX / 1 Comment »

We have just released both GraniteDS 3.0.4.GA and 3.1.0.M1.

3.0.4.GA is a bug fix release which mostly fixes a serious bug in JMF serialization, so it’s highly recommended to upgrade if you are building  JavaFX applications. See the release notes , and Maven artifacts .

3.1.0.M1 is the first milestone for the 3.1 branch and comes with major new features:

• Huge performance improvements on AMF serialization: GraniteDS is now 2 to 5 times faster than BlazeDS
• Websocket JSR 356 specification support on both client and server, for AMF and JMF. GraniteDS websockets now supports Jetty 8/9, Tomcat 7/8, GlassFish 3/4, WildFly 8 and Tyrus (client).
• ChangeSet support for Hibernate 4.x
• ChangeSet support for JavaFX clients
• Improved support for Java 8 / JavaFX 8

More details on these new features will come in following posts.

This release also includes a lot of bug fixes and minor improvements, see the full release notes .

The main breaking change is in the artifacts dependencies:

• JavaFX clients should now use granite-client-javafx and optionally granite-client-javafx-advanced (instead of granite-client-java and granite-client-javafx)
• Android clients should now use granite-client-android and optionally granite-client-android-advanced (instead of granite-client-java and granite-client-android)

The distribution is available for download here, and artifacts are available on Maven Central .

The tutorials and archetypes will soon be updated for both 3.0.4 and 3.1 M1.

As always, any feedback appreciated.
