Highlights in this release
- New connector: HDFS #965 by @burakkose
- New connector: UDP #995 by @radekg
- New module: Text, supporting transcoding character sets #1011
We added a new module "reference" serving as an example implementation for Alpakka connectors. This module is meant to show and explain how Alpakka APIs should be built so that they can be Java and Scala friendly, and evolve in a binary compatible way.
#1039
Breaking API changes may have been introduced in several modules as the contributors refine the functionality in Alpakka.
Modules using Akka Http now use version 10.1.3. In case your code should stay on 10.0.13, exclude the Akka Http dependency from the Alpakka module. We aim to support the 10.0.13+ versions for a while.
