    • Announcing WildFly Swarm 2016.12.1

    By The WildFly Swarm Team | Published Dec 15, 2016

    You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have…​ version 2016.12.1.

    To memorialize the passing of Alan Thicke, we are performing a mid-month release of version 2016.12.1

    What’s New?

    • Improvements on UberJar constructions and .war cleaning

    • Improvements on fraction auto-detection

    • Safely not enabling HTTP2 if no ciphers are strong enough

    • Support <resource-root> in custom module.xml

    • Fewer boot-time meaningless warnings

    • Significantly better Windows support

    • JavaDocs!

    What is WildFly Swarm?

    WildFly Swarm is the decomposition and reconstitution of the popular WildFly Java Application Server in order to support just enough appserver for microservice type applications.

    Each portion of the appserver is referred to as a fraction, which many times maps to a subsystem from WildFly, but also may include other discrete chunks of non-Java EE or WildFly functionality, such as Swagger, or Jolokia.

    Release notes for 2016.12.1 are available here.
