[ANN] jclouds 1.6.0 released!

[Adrian Cole]

jclouds 1.6 represents 7 months of refactoring to essentially “reset” the project 4 years after its founding.  The goal was to do less magic and be easier to code and troubleshoot.

No doubt, we’ve added new apis, including ones from OpenStack, Rackspace, AWS, DynECT, and UltraDNS, so if any of that interests you, move on to details in the release notes.

Most exciting is our move to the Apache Incubator.  Watch out as details will unfold this week as we progress to our next level of open source!

In the mean time, update your jclouds to version 1.6.0 and let us know how it works for you!

OK:

There was hitch -- there always is -- but it ended up being for the good. I had forgotten about the deprecation of BlobMap, so my initial recompilation was marred by deprecation warnings. I grumbled at first about having to do more work, but it turned out to be quite easy to replace BlobMap invocations with closer-to-the-metal BlobStore code, and I was able to jettison a whole layer of caching that I'm pretty sure was unnecessary from the get-go, but which hadn't bitten me enough to get rid of before this.

So ... yay!

One of the exercises in the cloud storage workshop went through a
similar change:

If you have any suggestions/comments based on your recent refactoring
that'd be great!

I like it! Nice use of Futures.successfulAsList. The use of uniqueIndex in the "before" version was clever, but BlobMap.putAll meant doing everything in one thread (I think), so a change like that would be a big win in a production setting.

Adrian's suggestion ;-)

Thanks for the feedback!

PS: And there was me thinking that one of the advantages of putAll was
precisely that it *would* parallelize the uploads transparently... ;-)

I tested the link to 1.6

http://demobox.github.io/jclouds-maven-site-1.6.0/1.6.0/jclouds-multi/apidocs/

and it worked for me. I tested all of the links from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0 and they're all working.

Try again?

Hello,

In the release notes page, the link to jclouds 1.6 javadoc doesn't work. Is that possible to fix it?

Thanks,

Thanks for veriying, Everett!

@Nic: the aggregate Javadocs for 1.6.0 were indeed just refreshed. So
you may have tried before Everett tested ;-)
