JBoss AOP 1.5.3.GA has been relased. It is a maintenance release and contains a number of useful bug fixes. You can find the release notes here and it can be downloaded from here. This is also the version of AOP to go into the planned JBoss AS 4.2.0 release. As usual it is usable standalone, and also works in older JBoss AS 4.0x releases.

 

I'd also like to introduce our new permanent team member Flavia Rainone to the community. She joined in November, and has helped out a lot with this release. Her main focus at the moment is working on the upcoming AOP 2.0 release. If you are interested in contributing to AOP 2.0 there is still a fair amount of work left. Please browse our JIRA, and if you find something you would like to take on, contact me. You can find my address on the main JBoss AOP project page.

I will be speaking about the work going on here at JBoss integrating different JBoss projects with JBoss AOP at the Aspect Leadership Program, which looks like it will be a very interesting event. It is held in Vancouver on 14th and 15th March alongside AOSD, and will feature talks from several of the leading people in the AOP field, covering AOP from all angles. Hope to see you there!
