We are almost as excited to announce our very first beta release of Immutant as this guy is to see a train. And like that train, we expect our beta cycle to be short; our plan is to have 1.0.0 out by the end of the summer, after which we'll begin to incorporate new features from JBoss Wildfly for the next release. As always, view our road map here.

What is Immutant?

Immutant is an application server for Clojure. It's an integrated platform built on JBoss AS7 that aims to reduce the inherent incidental complexity in real world applications.

What's in this release?

We haven't changed a whole lot since 0.10.0. We wanted to spruce up our docs and make sure we didn't have any glaring stability issues. We made a couple of minor enhancements to the jobs and caching namespaces, but nothing that isn't backwards compatible.

Cluster configuration should be simpler since we're now taking advantage of HornetQ's ability to use JGroups. We added a Production Setup chapter to our manual which we hope to evolve as more Immutants are put in production. Speaking of that, check out Damion's excellent writeup of his experiences clustering Immutant and TorqueBox on Amazon's EC2.
