We have released 3.8 of Atomikos ExtremeTransactions and TransactionsEssentials software. This release includes a number of new features including:

• redesigned logging for compatibility with your favorite logging framework
• performance improvements
• OSGi class export improvements
• an OSGi example application

You can download the release from our website.

We've just released the 3.7.1 (bug fix) releases for ExtremeTransactions and TransactionsEssentials - enjoy!

In a recent post we've announced our end-to-end support program. We are glad to be able to add PostgreSQL to the list of supported JDBC vendors - thanks to and via our PostgreSQL support partner 2ndQuadrant.

We are going through exciting times here at Atomikos! Today, we are pleased to announce that we will be offering single-point-of-contact, end-to-end support across different back-end systems for the following database vendors:

• Oracle
• DB2
• SQLServer
• Sybase
• Informix
• PostgreSQL via 2ndQuadrant (added on June 30 2011)

…and the following queuing vendors:

• MQSeries
• ActiveMQ
• SonicMQ

This is an initial list that will probably grow over time (stay in touch to find out).

What does this mean? Well, it means that Atomikos can offer support from the queue to the database and back again without you having to worry about dealing with different support channels.

This support is optional and not included in the standard support subscription. Contact us to find out more…

Good news: we've finally released our 3.7.0 release, with improved performance as the main focus. Although previous milestone builds have been released on repeated occasions, this is now the official 3.7.0 release for both TransactionsEssentials (open source, not supported) as well as ExtremeTransactions (not open source, subscription-based availability, with support).

To download, proceed to our homepage.

As per our new policies, the open source TransactionsEssentials product is now also available via maven central - including clean poms, sources that match the binaries and all other things that maven users deserve…
