We've just pub­lished two new re­leas­es:

• Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions 3.6.3
• Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.5.5

The most im­por­tant changes: we've fixed some con­nec­tion prob­lems un­der high loads - see the re­lease notes for de­tails.

En­joy!

A project that we have been con­tribut­ing to at the Bel­gian Rail­ways is about ready to go live. It con­cerns a track­ing sys­tem for trains, pro­vid­ing de­tailed text mes­sages about de­lays that are sent to sub­scrib­ing pas­sen­gers. The sys­tem was of­fi­cial­ly an­nounced in the lo­cal press to­day.

Here is the of­fi­cial press an­nounce­ment (Dutch only) or the Eng­lish ver­sion...

Atomikos has of­fi­cial­ly an­nounced the avail­abil­i­ty of Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions 3.6 with a press re­lease.

This is a main­te­nance re­lease that im­proves the JAX-WS han­dler con­fig­u­ra­tion of the JAX-WS demo.

As part of our Ex­tremeTrans­ac­tions 3.6.1 re­lease we have pro­duced Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials 3.5.4 - a bug fix re­lease for Trans­ac­tion­sEssen­tials.

The most im­por­tant fix­es in this re­lease con­cern state­ment in­val­i­da­tion af­ter trans­ac­tion time­out and JMS/JNDI ini­tial­iza­tion im­prove­ments - both sug­gest­ed by the com­mu­ni­ty (for which thanks!)...
