Lagom v1.6.0-RC1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-11-01 // over 4 years ago
  • Dear Lagom Community,

    ๐Ÿš‘ The Lagom Team is pleased to announce the release of Lagom 1.6.0-RC1. This is the first Release Candidate of Lagom 1.6.x series. Like the milestone releases, one of our major goals is to get feedback, so please let us know if something isn't working or you see something that should be improved. But unlike the milestones, we are now freezing the APIs and other changes, and we intended to promote the release candidate to 1.6.0 final if no critical issues are reported. If you are the author of a Lagom module, we would recommend checking out this release to see how it will affect your module.

    ๐Ÿš€ There are many improvements and changes at this new release, and you can see them all in the GitHub milestone.

    ๐Ÿฑ ๐Ÿ“— Changes in 1.6.0-RC1

    Some of the most relevant changes are:

    1. Akka 2.6.0-RC2 : as you can see in our roadmap, support Akka 2.6 is a priority, so we are closely tracking Akka 2.6 releases to discover possible integrations problems sooner than later. See Akka 2.6.0-RC1 and 2.6.0-RC2 announcements.
    2. Play 2.8.0-RC1 : similarly we're tracking the release cadence of Play.
