1.2.0 April 11 2017
Feature Release for Akka.NET
Akka.NET 1.2 is a major feature release that introduces the following major changes:
Akka.Remote now uses DotNetty for its transport layer
The biggest change for 1.2 is the removal of Helios 2.0 as the default transport and the introduction of DotNetty. The new DotNetty transport is fully backwards compatible with the Helios 1.4 and 2.* transports, so you should be able to upgrade from any Akka.NET 1.* application to 1.2 without any downtime. All of the
helios.tcp
HOCON is also supported by the DotNetty transport, so none of that needs to updated for the DotNetty transport to work out of the box.In addition, the DotNetty transport supports TLS, which can be enabled via the following HOCON:
You can read more about Akka.Remote's TLS support here.
See the complete DotNetty transport HOCON here.
Akka.Streams and Akka.Cluster.Tools RTMed
Akka.Streams and Akka.Cluster.Tools have graduated from beta status to stable modules and their interfaces are now considered to be stable.
CoordinatedShutdown
One of the major improvements in Akka.NET 1.2 is the addition of the new
CoordinatedShutdown
plugin, which is designed to make it easier for nodes that are running Akka.Cluster to automatically exit a cluster gracefully wheneverActorSystem.Terminate
is called or when the process the node is running in attempts to exit.CoordinatedShutdown
is fully extensible and can be used to schedule custom shutdown operations as part ofActorSystem
termination.You can read more about how to use
CoordinatedShutdown
here.Additional Changes
In addition to the above changes, there have been a large number of performance improvements, bug fixes, and documentation improvements made to Akka.NET in 1.2. Read the full list of changes in Akka.NET 1.2 here.
