Release Notes

New Features and Enhancements

Extensions Mechanism

The new simple way to use a custom scripting engine either a storage
driver implementation. Just put the extension jar file(s) into the
ext directory of Mongoose and it's ready to use.
JSR-223 Compliant Scenario Engine

Powerful scripting capability using any language supporting JSR-223
standard. Javascript is proposed as default scenarios language.

All storage driver implementations moved to the separate projects
under the same GitHub organization.
The list of the storage drivers supported currently:
1. EMC Atmos
2. EMC S3 (extensions)
3. Filesystem
4. HDFS (new)
5. NFS (not working currently, under development)
6. Amazon S3 (generic)
7. OpenStack Swift
The deployment procedure significantly changed,
so please keep attention on this. Note also that base/core mongoose
distribution doesn't include any storage driver implementation since
the new version.
The connection pool used by Mongoose moved to the separate project
netty-connection-pool.
The source code repository name changed from mongoose to
mongoose-base due to storage driver implementations separation.
Accessing via the old name redirects to the new one.
Moved all content example files and all scenario files under the
common example directory.
Changed the default new items name length to 12 characters in
order to make the new item name characters distribution uniform (in
the space of the default radix of 36: [0-9a-z]). Previously all new
item names began with character "0" either "1" what was not uniform
enough.
