Project Grizzly 1.5.1 released

Project Grizzly 1.5.1 has been released and marked as alpha. The reason for marking the release as alpha is mostly because we have made a lot of additions since 1.5.0 and would like to ask the community to test it. We recently got a lot of good feedback and would like to make sure every user of Grizzly can test with 1.5.1 and vote for our upcoming release, targeted as stable. Personnaly I consider this release as rock solid :-)

What changed since 1.5.0:

• Make RoundRobinSelectorHandler protocol independent
• Refactor SSL so it can be used with the TCP implementation
• Client now execute on their own thread instead of the Selector Thread.
• Added RCM/Virtualization support
• Added JRuby module to the Project
• Non Blocking Client side support via interface ConnectorHandler(TCPConnectorHandler, UDPConnectorHandler)
• ConnectionManagement/Cache added and integrated
• Asynchronous OP_WRITE support added
• Controller can support more that one SelectorHandler simultaneously
• Started jruby support
• Comet API now support asynchronous read/write from a CometHandler

The 1.5.1 release contains ready to use components:

• an embeddable http-based server [grizzly-http-webserver-1.5.1.zip]
• an embeddable comet server [grizzly-comet-webserver-1.5.1.zip]
• an embeddable jruby on rail server [grizzly-jruby-webserver-1.5.1.zip]
• an embeddable rcm/virtualization server [grizzly-http-webserver-1.5.1.zip]
• an embeddable cometd server [grizzly-cometd-webserver-1.5.1.zip]

The binary are available here. The ready to use components are available here. Make sure you read the how to start those components. Congratulation to everybody who helped with this release.

NOTE: Grizzly 1.5.2 has just been released

• Bonjour Jean Francois ;) - It would be interesting at one point to quickly benchmark grizzly 1.5.1 against Nginx which receives very nice reviews lately as the fastest http server.

• Yes, I agree. I know someone already did it internally :-) I'm not sure I can talk about the numbers (will ask him what he will do with it), but it was ...well looking good :-)

• Good to hear, make sure he tested Nginx on Solaris with Solaris Event Ports support turned on, i heard it makes quite a difference.

  Bonne journée !
