1.1.3 January 22 2017

Maintenance release for Akka.NET v1.1

Akka.NET v1.1.3 features some new libraries and an enormous number of bug fixes.

Akka.DistributedData Beta
First, we've introduced an alpha of a new module intended for use with Akka.Cluster: Akka.DistributedData. The goal of this library is to make it possible to concurrently read and write replicated copies of the same entity across different nodes in the cluster using conflict-free replicated data types, often referred to as "CRDTs." These replicas can eventually be merged together in a fully consistent manner and are excellent choices for applications that require a high level of availability and partition tolerance.

The library is still a bit of a work in progress at the moment, but you are free to use it via the following command:

PS> Install-Package Akka.DistributedData -pre

Akka.Serialization.Wire Deprecated; Replaced with Akka.Serialization.Hyperion
Wire recently changed its license to GPLv3, which is a poor fit for a technology like Akka.NET. Therefore, our default serializer beginning in Akka.NET 1.5 will be Hyperion instead. You can see how to set it up here: http://getakka.net/docs/Serialization#how-to-setup-hyperion-as-default-serializer
