1. Re: Status of FUSE ESB 4
aileenc_aileenc1601 Jul 22, 2008 7:34 AM (in response to andrewheadrick)Hi Andrew,
We would normally recommend the latest release ESB 4 however this does depend on the timeframes for your project.
FUSE ESB 4.0 Preview 1 is now available for download. This preview release is suitable for pilot projects however the product needs some additional development, testing and user feedback before it should be used in mission-critical production environments. This Preview Release of FUSE ESB 4.0 will be followed by a Generally Available (GA) release on September 8th.
If you require a GA release before September and start your project with ESB 3 then a Migration Guide is being developed which covers the considerations when migrating applications from FUSE ESB 3.x to 4.x.

3. Re: Status of FUSE ESB 4
getaceres Sep 12, 2008 6:00 AM (in response to aileenc_aileenc1601)Hello, it's September 12th and still only the preview is availaible.
I'm starting a new project and I'm evaluating the ESB implementation to be used. As the project is starting now and we will not have a prototype version until the end of this year, I would like to know the state of FUSE ESB 4 and its stability and features on a short period (september-december '08).
Is it better to start with FUSE ESB 3 instead? Does FUSE ESB 4 provide some advantages in performance, features or easy development right now? Is it difficult to migrate from version 3 to version 4?

aileenc_aileenc1601 Sep 12, 2008 9:24 AM (in response to andrewheadrick)Hi,
We have extended the preview period for ESB 4 in order to incorporate more of the feedback we have received into the final product.
The revised schedule is
ESB 4 Preview 2 22nd Sept
ESB 4 GA 13th Oct
For a new project we would recommend that you use ESB 4 as it offers improved ease of use and support for the latest standards like OSGi and JBI 2.0.
We would welcome your feedback on ESB 4 preview releases.
best regards,
Aileen
