Announcing WildFly Swarm 2017.6.1

WildFly Swarm 2017.6.1

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." (Albert Einstein)

Albert is right. We tried something new. It broke the dependency management, so we changed it again. For the better. This is the short story of why we have 2017.6.1.

What’s New?

  • SWARM-1369 caused trouble with project dependencies.

SWARM-1369

A change to the Wildfly Swarm BOM’s caused trouble in user projects, for instance the RESTeasy client errors documented in SWARM-1381. The BOM dependency management has been changed to fix this.
