New Fedora Ecosystem Releases: Fedora 6.1.1 and Camel Toolbox 6.0.0

[Daniel Bernstein]

Fedora 6.1 Is Here!

Today we are happy to announce the release of Fedora 6.1.  In addition to the core software updates (https://github.com/fcrepo/fcrepo), we have also released improvements to the migration and validation tool sets. This round of changes has been focused on bug fixes and performance enhancements.  Also please note that a bugfix release (6.1.1) went out on the heels of Fedora 6.1.0 that addresses a single issue related to indexing.  Come take it for a spin if you haven't already and let us know what you think on Slack or the fedor...@googlegroups.com mailing list.

• Upgrade codebase to Camel 3.9.0 (from Camel 2.x)

• Add new the HTTP Forwarding Service

• Remove dependency on the loathed OSGI/Kafka platform

• Simplify packaging by providing a runnable jar with a properties file

• Dockerize the application

• Provide Docker Compose example

Please feel free to put it through its paces by following the Docker Compose instructions here.
