Dear hAkkers,

 we, the Akka committers, are proud to announce Akka 1.3-RC4!

 What is Akka?

 Akka is the platform for the next generation event-driven, scalable and
 fault-tolerant architectures on the JVM.

 Akka implements a unique hybrid of:
 Actors, which gives you:
 Simple and high-level abstractions for concurrency and parallelism.
 Asynchronous, non-blocking and highly performant event-driven programming model.
 Very lightweight event-driven threads (create ~13 million actors on 8 G RAM).
 High-availability through supervisor hierarchies with let-it-crash
 semantics. Excellent for writing highly fault-tolerant systems that never
 stop, systems that self-heal.
 Software Transactional Memory (STM).
 Transactors: combine actors and STM into transactional actors. Allows you
 to compose atomic message flows with automatic retry and rollback.
 Remote actors: highly performant distributed actors with remote
 supervision and error management.
 Agents & Dataflow Concurrency
 Java and Scala API.

 What’s new in 1.3-RC4?

 Akka 1.3-RC4 is more a maintenance release than a revolutionary step:
 I includes a couple of important bugfixes, and also a brand new
 0MQ integration kindly contributed by Karim Osman!

 Highlights:
 -0MQ integration - http://akka.io/docs/akka/1.3-RC4/scala/zeromq.html

But it is not part of the full dist (e.g. kernel). At least not what I
can see, or I'm blind.
Download it and take a look yourself.

Ah, so it is only missing in the microkernel.
