Embedded Lightstreamer Server version 7.1.0. See the related changelog for details. In particular:

• Revised the license configuration, with the introduction of new lightstreamer_edition_conf.xml configuration file, which replaces old lightstreamer_version_conf.xml. See inline comments for details.
  In addition, a new mandatory <edition_conf> configuration element in the main configuration file lightstreamer_conf.xml has been introduced, replacing old <version_conf>. See inline comments in the factory configuration file for details.
• Updated the Software license agreement files: see new Lightstreamer Software License Agreement.pdf and Lightstreamer Software License Agreement.txt.
• Increased minimum required Java version to 8.
• COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Lightstreamer Server version 7.1.0 includes changes on the deployment structure, the configuration files and the launch scripts. Carefully read its changelog and apply any advice included.

Made the software development kits (SDKs) available online. See the SDK.TXT in the package root for details.
As a consequences, the previous DOCS-SDKs folder has been renamed to DOCS. Furthermore, the SDKs change histories have been removed from this changelog, which now exclusively refers to the JMS Extender server.

Included in the distribution package the geronimo-jms_2.0_spec jar file, which provides the JMS 2.0 API: this means that from now on now it is no longer required to manually provides a copy of jms.jar file into the <JMS_EXTENDER_HOME>/lib/core folder.

Revised the JMS connector configurations included in the <JMS_EXTENDER_HOME>/jms_connectors/jms_connectors_conf.xml file. In particular:

• Added new connector configuration for Apache ActiveMQ Artemis.
• Removed connector configurations for HornetQ, JBossMQ, and Apache QPid.
• Added new trusted_packages parameter to the connector configuration for Apache ActiveMQ. See inline comments for details.

Updated the GETTING_STARTED.TXT to reflect changes to distribution package.

Introduced support for JMS 2.0 features: shared subscriptions, shared durable subscriptions, delivery delay and delivery time.

Introduced support for noLocal flag on topic subscriptions.

Introduced automatic disabling of temporary topics when the underlying JMS broker does not support the sharing of temporary topics between connections, and the JMS Extender has topic session sharing enabled.

Fixed bug that could cause an integer overflow when receiving a MapMessage.

Fixed bug that could cause a deadlock when terminating the JMS Extender process.

Fixed bug that could cause an NPE when closing a message consumer.

Fixed bug that could cause an NPE in rare circumstances when using the AUTO_ACK acknowledge mode.

Removed a benign warning message from AUTO_ACK acknowledge mode logging.

Improved the performance and efficiency of AUTO_ACK, CLIENT_ACK and TRANSACTION acknowledge mode implementations. The new adaptive algorithm better handles situations where the load is unbalanced, such as with multiple inactive sessions and few very active sessions.

Extended the JMS Extender Hook interface to provide callbacks for object message payload deserialization.

Fixed a syntax error in the installation script for Linux.

Improved the handling of cross-origin requests (used by the JavaScript SDK), by returning the appropriate headers also upon most error responses.

Revised the parsing of the various configuration files to improve diagnostics. Some space characters are now ignored. COMPATIBILITY NOTE: No change is to be expected in the interpretation of correct configuration files.

Slightly revised the page supplied by the internal Web Server upon a 404 error, to also have IE and Edge display it rather than a custom page.

Added a new chapter about clustering in the JMS Extender Documentation PDF.

Realigned the launch script to suggest the use of java 8.

Put a reminder about JMX RMI connector credential setting in PRODUCTION_SECURITY_NOTES.TXT.

First public release.
