5.1.2006 - v0.4.1 Release notes

During this release we will work on the core API and adding additional protocols.

• AMF Remoting service
• RTMPT, RTMPS protocols
• Basic samples and documentation

NOTE: Scripting support bumped to 0.5 - we felt that focusing on the core API in 0.4 was necessary and adding Scripting bugs in the mix would complicate/harm the API testing.

• Web based Flex admin console
• Edge/Origin clustering support
• Support client side application frameworks
• AJAX support (XML Post, XML-RPC, etc).
• Integrate with Spring Web Services project beta.
• Scripting support (JavaScript, Groovy, Beanshell, JRuby, Jython)

More stable version of 0.7 for production environment testing. This public beta release will have many more features and so the focus should be on testing and bug reports.

During 0.9 we will aim to fix all known bugs, perform performance testing and optimization, and generally clean up the code, samples and documentation. There will be a series of Release Candidates for public testing.

Its finally ready! So it doesn’t have a shiny box, but it will come with some marketing material designed to please your boss, and best of all its free. How can anyone resist?
