Quarkus 0.23.1 released - Paving the way to our new HTTP layer
|
DO NOT USE 0.23.1 - PLEASE USE 0.23.2. We found a major memory regression in 0.23.1, we urge you to not use it and use 0.23.2 instead. |
We just released Quarkus 0.23.1. This version is an important milestone for us as it materializes one of our major objectives: relying on Vert.x for our entire HTTP layer. It also comes with a lot of improvements and bugfixes contributed by our vibrant community.
|
The recommended version of GraalVM is now 19.2.0.1 so please upgrade! |
What’s new?
New HTTP layer
We are making progress on basing our entire HTTP layer (meaning Undertow, our servlet implementation, and RESTEasy, our JAX-RS implementation) on top of Vert.x.
0.23 is the first step of this major change: our servlet implementation is now making use of Vert.x under the hood. Note that this is only the first change of many to come as, in our next version, RESTEasy will be able to avoid servlets entirely and leverage Vert.x directly.
A more comprehensive blog post explaining everything you have to know about it will be published soon so stay tuned.
JDK 12+ support
Until now, Quarkus only supported JDK 8 and 11 (the so-called LTS JDKs). We now support JDK 12 and 13.
Note that if you want to build GraalVM native executables, you are still limited to JDK 8 for the time being.
New extensions
Azure functions
Slightly related to our new HTTP layer, we now have an extension for Azure functions support and a guide explaining all you need to know to deploy Azure functions based on Quarkus.
MySQL, here we come
We have been a bit shy on our MySQL support as we prioritized the support of MariaDB.
As good news never come alone, it’s not one extension we added but two:
-
quarkus-jdbc-mysql- An extension for the official MySQL JDBC driver you can use with Hibernate ORM -
quarkus-reactive-mysql-client- A reactive client for MySQL
ActiveMQ Artemis
If you are into messaging, we have one more option for you, ActiveMQ Artemis, in the form of the quarkus-artemis-core and quarkus-artemis-jms extensions.
JGit
We have added an extension for JGit: say hello to quarkus-jgit. More information in the JGit extension guide.
Various extension improvements
- Amazon DynamoDB
-
The Amazon DynamoDB extension is now fully "quarked": you can configure it fully via our centralized
application.propertiesand inject the appropriate beans in your applications. We also have [a brand new guide]. - Apache Tika
-
You can now define the parsers you want to use: only these parsers are included in the native image, greatly reducing its size. See the Apache Tika guide for more information.
- Hibernate ORM
-
The default value of
quarkus.hibernate-orm.sql-load-scripthas been changed fromimport.sqltono-fileby default when theprodprofile is enabled. That means that if you want to load data inprodmode, you need to explicitly point to your import file. - Jaeger
-
The metrics were wrongly added to the
basemetrics: they are now added to thevendormetrics. - Kafka流
-
You can now leverage the awesomeness of Live Coding when developing Kafka Streams applications.
Scala support
Together with Java and Kotlin, we now also support Scala. Just add the quarkus-scala extension when creating a new project (using code.quarkus.io or the command line) and you will get a Scala project.
Deprecations
The quarkus-junit4 extension has been retired. You may use the quarkus-junit5 extension and move your tests to JUnit 5.
Full changelog
We also fixed a few bugs and usability issues: get the full changelog of 0.23.0 on GitHub - and, if you’re really curious, the issue we fixed in 0.23.1.
