Removed

N/A

Changed

Application life-cycle management - User provided main application(s) will be started after Spring Boot declares web application ready. This ensures correct Spring autowiring or dependencies are available.

Bugfix for locale - String.format(float) returns comma as decimal point that breaks number parser. Replace with BigDecimal decimal point scaling.

Removed

N/A

Code cleaning to improve consistency
Upgraded to hibernate-validator to v6.1.5.Final and Hazelcast version 4.0.1

Updated RestLoader to initialize RestEasy servlet dispatcher
Support nested arrays in MultiLevelMap

Version 1.12.36, 4/16/2020

Added

N/A

Added

N/A

Removed

SimpleRBAC class is retired

Changed

Corresponding unit tests added to verify behavior

Version 1.12.32, 3/14/2020

Added

N/A

Removed

N/A

Changed

Kafka-connector will shutdown application instance when the EventProducer cannot send event to Kafka. This would allow the infrastructure to restart application instance automatically.

Version 1.12.31, 2/26/2020

Added

N/A

Removed

N/A

Changed

Kafka-connector now supports external service provider for Kafka properties and credentials. If your application implements a function with route name "kafka.properties.provider" before connecting to cloud, the kafka-connector will retrieve kafka credentials on demand. This addresses case when kafka credentials change after application start-up.
Interceptors are designed to forward requests and thus they do not generate replies. However, if you implement a function as an EventInterceptor, your function can throw exception just like a regular function and the exception will be returned to the calling function. This makes it easier to write interceptors.

Version 1.12.30, 2/6/2020

Added

Expose "async.http.request" as a PUBLIC function ("HttpClient as a service")

Removed

N/A

Changed

Removed

N/A

Changed

Updated SimpleXmlParser with XML External Entity (XXE) injection prevention.
Bug fix for hazelcast recovery logic - when a hazelcast node is down, the app instance will restart the hazelcast client and reset routing table correctly.
HSTS header insertion is optional so that we can disable it to avoid duplicated header when API gateway is doing it.

Version 1.12.26, 1/4/2020

Added

Feature to disable PoJo deserialization so that caller can decide if the result set should be in PoJo or a Map.

Version 1.12.12, 10/26/2019

Added

Multi-tenancy support for event streams (Hazelcast and Kafka). This allows the use of a single event stream cluster for multiple non-prod environments. For production, it must use a separate event stream cluster for security reason.

Removed

N/A

Changed

logging framework changed from logback to log4j2 (version 2.12.1)
Use JSR-356 websocket annotated ClientEndpoint
Improved websocket reconnection logic

Removed

N/A

Changed

Minor refactoring of kafka-connector and hazelcast-connector to ensure that they can coexist if you want to include both of these dependencies in your project.

This is for convenience of dev and testing. In production, please select only one cloud connector library to reduce memory footprint.

Version 1.12.4, 6/24/2019

Added

Add inactivity expiry timer to ObjectStreamIO so that house-keeper can clean up resources that are idle

Removed

N/A

Changed

Disable HTML encape sequence for GSON serializer
Bug fix for GSON serialization optimization
Bug fix for Object Stream housekeeper

By default, GSON serializer converts all numbers to double, resulting in unwanted decimal point for integer and long. To handle custom map serialization for correct representation of numbers, an unintended side effect was introduced in earlier releases.

List of inner PoJo would be incorrectly serialized as map, resulting in casting exception. This release resolves this issue.

Version 1.12.1, 6/10/2019

Added

Store-n-forward pub/sub API will be automatically enabled if the underlying cloud connector supports it. e.g. kafka
ObjectStreamIO, a convenient wrapper class, to provide event stream I/O API.
Object stream feature is now a standard feature instead of optional.
Deferred delivery added to language connector.

Removed

N/A

Added

platform-core

Support for long running functions so that any long queries will not block the rest of the system.
"safe.data.models" is available as an option in the application.properties. This is an additional security measure to protect against Jackson deserialization vulnerability. See example below:

#
# additional security to protect against model injection
# comma separated list of model packages that are considered safe to be used for object deserialization
#
#safe.data.models=com.accenture.models

rest-spring

"/env" endpoint is added. See sample application.properties below:

Version 1.11.28, 12/20/2018

Added

Hazelcast support is added. This includes two projects (hazelcast-connector and hazelcast-presence).

Hazelcast-connector is a cloud connector library. Hazelcast-presence is the "Presence Monitor" for monitoring the presence status of each application instance.

Removed

platform-core

The "fixed resource manager" feature is removed because the same outcome can be achieved at the application level. e.g. The application can broadcast requests to multiple application instances with the same route name and use a callback function to receive response asynchronously. The services can provide resource metrics so that the caller can decide which is the most available instance to contact.

For simplicity, resources management is better left to the cloud platform or the application itself.
