Dear hakkers,
The eighth development milestone for Akka 2.6 is out.
It would be excellent if you can try the milestones out and give us feedback. We intend to publish the first release candidate around 3 weeks from now. Akka 2.6 is binary backwards compatible with 2.5 with the ordinary exceptions listed in the documentation. Some configuration changes may be needed, please read the migration guide as a first step.
Some notable changes in 2.6.0-M8:
- Remove ActorPublisher and ActorSubscriber, which have been deprecated since 2.5.0 #26187
- Add positive and negative TTL config for
AsyncDnsResolver#27578 thanks to @burbaki - Fix JsonFraming to accept multiple top-level arrays #26099
- New messages for DataDeleted in Distributed Data #27371
- ActorContext as constructor parameter in AbstractBehavior #27689
- Many documentation and migration guide improvements, such as the documentation of SLF4J logging in Akka Typed
A total of 48 issues were closed since 2.6.0-M7. The complete list can be found on the 2.6.0-M8 milestone on github.
