JBoss-4.0.5 was released last week and is available for download. If you are looking for the installer bundle, that includes JBossAS-4.0.5.GA, EJB3 CR9 and Portal 2.4 GA, start here.

This new point release includes more than 90 bug fixes and introduces some interesting features, including support for scalable Buddy Replication for http sessions and updates to many important subsystems (hibernate, tomcat, jbossws, etc.). In addition, this is the first release QA'ed against multiple platforms (Linux, Solaris, Windows) and JDKs (both Sun and BEA JRockit). More information about the release can be found in the detailed release notes.

 

Note that the initial jboss-4.0.5.GA distribution (binary and sources) posted on sourceforge.org included a version of the JBoss.org End User License Agreement (EULA) that was subsequently fine-tuned after internal discussions inside JBoss. Please make sure you have downloaded the latest distribution, by comparing the published checksums. The updated EULA can be found here.

 

We do appreciate your online feedback for this new release in the JBoss User Forums.

 

If you can make it, JBossWorld in Berlin will be an excellent opportunity to meet with the development team, discuss what you like or not, learn from other people's experiences with JBoss, and of course, have fun!

 

Enjoy the new JBossAS & hope to see you in Berlin!
