After successful Google I/O and Red Hat Summit presentations, and some vacation, it’s finally time to do a new release.

Regarding the release issues, they’ve been mostly driven by TCK failures, hence I’ll let the release notes speak for themselves.

Note: for the Windows users, an issue I just discovered after releasing the .zip, and it’s unfortunately not as trivial as it looks like, hence I didn’t want to stale the release even more. So the fix for this is coming in the next release.

The simple workaround is to run the full AS start command: "standalone.bat -c standalone-capedwarf.xml". (and a bit more work if you wanna use GAE API jar as a module)

Continuing with our monthly releases, we’re happy to announce new 1.0.0.Beta4 release.

Quick rundown of release notes

Google I/O 2013

CapeDwarf team will be at this year’s Google I/O’ Sandbox! Make sure you drop by for a chat, demo and a nice T-shirt.

Also be careful you don’t miss the exciting surprise announcement!

As you can see from the JIRA release notes, it’s been super busy 2 months.

Another new sub-project: CapeDwarf Shared.

It’s where we keep the shared code between our GAE API implementation (Blue) and JBossAS integration.

There has been a lot of detail polishing on Blobstore, Logging and TaskQueue. And we also added BlackList / WhiteList support, getting even closer to GAE behavior this way.

Also big thanks to Bart and Wouter for the patches and feedback.

And yes, we finally simplified how you start the whole thing - thanks Lazo.

As always, feedback welcome!
