I am proud to announce the release of Akka 0.6. It is a major release in many ways. Many people have made this happen. Especially the great team<http://doc.akkasource.org/team> but also many of the users on the mailing list. Thank you all.
- New STM impl with a declarative, a high-order fun and a monadic API - New persistence module backends; Redis, Cassandra, MongoDB, works with STM - Much improved performance; Akka is now 2-3 times faster than Scala Actors (both event and thread-based) in http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ benchmark. - Much improved memory footprint; an Actor consumes ~600 bytes, can now create 6.5 million on 4 G RAM - Much improved Remote Actors; reconnect, compression, implicit sender, supervision across nodes etc. - Comet bindings for Actors - REST bindings for Actors - Cluster Membership protocol; nodes find each other automatically, simple API - Security module; HTTP digest and Kerberos - Many new Serializers; SBinary, JSON, Protobuf etc. - AMQP integration - Lift integration - Spring integration (in progress) - Guice integration - Microkernel

Thanks. We are trying to get it in to scala-tools.org. But I could perhaps throw up a Maven repo at scalablesolutions.se for now. I'll do that later today.

Thanks Jonas, no rush! Just thinking that long-term, throwing a couple deps in a pom is easier than downloading & mvn installing the entire code base. :) Which I'm doing right now since I'm really excited to start learning about Akka.
Also - thanks for writing the Introducing Akka post, it's a great way for n00bs like me to get started.

They are in the distribution/embedded-repo in the the embedded maven repository. Just do the following: * Set AKKA_HOME to the root of the dist * Invoke 'maven install'
Let me know if that doesn't work
