Today, Apache ActiveMQ 5.6 has been released - its been more than a year since the last point release. This release has over 370 issues resolved, with 130 improvements including:
- LevelDB message store. LevelDB is a fast key-value library written by google, but the message store implementation that combines LevelDB with persistent message logs can be found in fuse-extras. This message store implementation can be five times faster than the default message store implementation - KahaDB.
- MQTT support - MQTT is an extremely light weight messaging transport designed for machine to machine devices - I described this in more detail in an earlier post.
- Stomp 1.1 support - which adds heartbeats, NACK frames and support for virtual hosting.
- Configuration checks - providing warnings about incorrectly configured brokers
- Prevention of denial of services attacks
