Lagom v1.6.0-RC2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-11-08 // over 4 years ago
  • Dear Lagom Community,

    🚑 The Lagom Team is pleased to announce the release of Lagom 1.6.0-RC2. This is the second 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.

    📚 Asides from the critical fixes listed below, this release mostly contained lots of documentation updates in preparation for the release. You can see the full list of changes in the GitHub milestone.

    🍱 📗 Changes in 1.6.0-RC2

    🚑 As mentioned above, this release mostly contained critical fixes:

    1. DB (Slick/JPA) shutdown must happen after cluster is shut down: We discovered and fixed a problem in the shutdown ordering of JPA and Slick DBs. #2426
    2. Unbreaking lagom-persistence-couchbase : Unexpectedly an internal API change broke lagom-persistence-couchbase. Thanks to the Akka Team resolving the underlying issue that had driven the API change, we were able to revert the change and, therefore, unbreak lagom-persistence-couchbase. #2414/#2416 ➕ 3. Add Akka and Play versions to LagomVersion : We added akka, akkaHttp, and play to com.lightbend.lagom.core.LagomVersion, which can be used to help align these versions in Lagom applications. #2408
