The first release candidate of Akka 2.1 was released last week! Now is a great time to take it for a spin and give feedback before 2.1.0 goes final!
A series of short blog posts will "Spotlight" the new Akka 2.1 features on the Akka Team Blog during the upcoming weeks. In fact, there are already four Akka 2.1 Spotlights:
- Try the new shiny actor DSL in the REPL
- A circuit breaker for asynchronous calls
- Get notifications when new nodes joins and leaves the cluster
- Cluster failure detection hooked hooked up with death watch
More exciting posts are in the pipeline. So stay tuned and watch the Akka Team Blog for more Spotlights!
