    • Announcing Thorntail 2.1.0.Final

    By The Thorntail Team | Published Aug 16, 2018

    Thorntail 2.1.0.Final

    On this day in 1896 Gold was first discovered in Klondike, found at Bonanza Creek, Alaska by George Carmack.

    And now 122 years later, 2.1.0.Final is released!

    What’s New?

    • MicroProfile 1.3 with SmallRye

    • Automated migration from WildFly Swarm

    • OpenTracing and Jaeger changes

    • New JOSE fraction

    • Old config-api-runtime fixed

    • Consul update

    MicroProfile 1.3 with SmallRye

    Though the version of MicroProfile being implemented in Thorntail hasn’t changed, where it’s coming from has!

    With this release we’ve moved to using implementations from SmallRye. SmallRye intends to provide a shareable MicroProfile implementation across multiple vendors, which is why we’ve moved to utilizing it within Thorntail.

    If you’d like to help us implement MicroProfile in SmallRye, check out the projects at https://github.com/smallrye/.

    Automated migration from WildFly Swarm

    The migration process from WildFly Swarm, as described in the 2.0.0.Final post, can be mostly automated. That’s exactly what we did in this release!

    If you are still on WildFly Swarm 2018.5.0, or one of the previous releases, you can now migrate to Thorntail by running

    mvn io.thorntail:thorntail-maven-plugin:2.1.0.Final:migrate-from-wildfly-swarm

    If you only want to see the migration actions, without actually performing them, add -DdryRun=true.

    If you want to migrate to the previous 2.0.0.Final version, add -DtargetVersion=2.0.0.Final.

    And if you encounter any issue, please let us know!

    OpenTracing and Jaeger changes

    WARNING: Breaking changes!

    Previously, the jaeger fraction brought in the opentracing fraction automatically. To better support MicroProfile OpenTracing, we’ve decoupled these two fractions.

    Now, the jaeger fraction is only used to provide tracer configuration. You are expected to bring in the tracing fraction manually; either the old opentracing, or the new microprofile-opentracing.

    If you previously had a dependency on the jaeger fraction and not on the opentracing fraction, you have to add an explicit dependency on the opentracing fraction to retain the same behavior.

    JOSE fraction

    Have some serious fun with a new JOSE fraction and add a new dimension to your application’s security. Check out the security/jose example.

    Old config-api-runtime fixed

    In the last release, there was a problem with older WildFly Swarm config-api-runtime artifacts appearing in the dependency tree, causing conflicts with the latest Thorntail ones.

    We’re happy to say that’s now resolved in 2.1.0.Final!

    Consul update

    Thanks to Dennis Schwarz from the community for providing a PR to update Consul to 1.2.1 and also fix some issues with Health Checks!
