WebORB 3.0 is released (now with Flex Messaging)

A week ago I pre-announced WebORB 3.0 release and today marks another huge step in the product's history. WebORB 3.0 is out! It took countless number of some hard core coding sessions, five beta, two RC releases and now WebORB Professional is in production.

What makes this release particularly special is the inclusion of the Beta1 of the Enterprise Edition into the build. The Enterprise Edition is architected on top of WebORB Professional. In fact, from the distribution perspective it is the same build that includes both products, but a license key can control which features are enabled (without a license key all features are available).

Below is a list of all the changes/additions in the 3.0 release. Now that the release is out, I plan to spend a lot more time blogging, writing articles, creating new examples and updating the website with some interesting product-related content:

• Flex Messaging integration (support for mx.messaging.Producer and mx.messaging.Consumer)
• MSMQ integration for Flex messaging clients
• Support for remote SharedObject API
• RTMP streaming support
• New cascading multi-level security enforcement implementation
• Code-level security configuration panel (See the Services\Security tabs in the management console)
• Server configuration panels (Class mappings, Service aliases, Service factories, Abstract class mappings, Custom serializers - See the "Configuration" tab in the management console)
• Fixed Cairngorm 2.1 code generation template (the new template does not use old, deprecated calls)
• Added serializer for IEnumerator types
