May 7, 2013 – Habarisoft is pleased to announce release 2.5a1 of its
Delphi and Free Pascal client library for the Open MQ open source
message broker (http://mq.java.net/).
This is the first alpha of release 2.5, which introduces support for
Indy 10.6 and has been tested with build 14 of Open MQ 5.0, the
next-generation message broker version which implements JMS 2.0
(introduced with the new Java EE 7.0 specification). Continue reading
The RabbitMQ team announced the release of RabbitMQ 3.1.0 – This release introduces eager synchronisation of mirror queue slaves, automatic cluster partition healing, and improved statistics (including charts) in the management plugin. It also adds many smaller new features, bug fixes and performance improvements.
The developers encourage all users of earlier versions of RabbitMQ to upgrade to this latest release.
For Delphi and Free Pascal, Habarisoft offers a client library for RabbitMQ 2.8.7 and newer.
JBoss Community has released the final release of HornetQ 2.3.0. This includes new features such as replication, multiple backups, multiple failover, fallback and STOMP 1.2 support as well as many other enhancements, fixes and performance tweaks.
A STOMP based Delphi and Free Pascal client library for HornetQ is available from Habarisoft.
With the current release of Habari Client for HornetQ, Delphi and Free Pascal applications can send messages to a HornetQ message broker at a rate of more than 11000 to 12000 messages per second (less than 80 microseconds per message) – on very modest hardware and running the HornetQ server on the same system, even while receiving more than 1000 messages per second from the same broker.
The next release will introduce support for STOMP level 1.2 and the HornetQ 2.3.0 open source message broker.
The next release of the Delphi and Free Pascal library Habari Client for HornetQ passed tests with HornetQ 2.3.0.CR2 in STOMP 1.2 protocol mode. In STOMP 1.2, message acknowledgment has been simplified and now uses a dedicated header.
April 2, 2013 – Habarisoft is pleased to announce release 2.0 of Habari Client for HornetQ. HornetQ is an open source project from the JBoss Community to build a multi-protocol, embeddable, very high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system. HornetQ is the default Java Message Service (JMS) provider in JBoss Application Server, but can also used stand-alone.
This library provides Delphi and Free Pascal developers access to production-ready and industry standard based cross-platform application integration, using the peer-to-peer or the publish/subscribe communication model.
The new release of Habari message broker client libraries introduces new features, including:
The full release notes are included in the “Getting Started” PDF documentation.
Habari Chat is a demo application for the Habari Client libraries, available with full source code and as executable in the demo downloads.
After choosing a chatroom name and a nickname, the user interface allows to send text messages. For system messages – for example when users enter or leave a chatroom – the code below is used:
The next release of Habari message broker client libraries includes an example for automatic reconnect in case of connection loss.
It uses two nested loops, where the outer loop connects and disconnects, and the inner loops processes (sends or receives) messages. If an exception occurs while sending or receiving data on the TCP socket, the program leaves the inner loop, closes the connection and restarts the outer loop.
From the launchpad details, the rabbitmq-server included in Ubuntu 13.04 will be at least v3.0.2-1. From the release schedule the final freeze is upon us so it is unlikely that any newer version will be included.
For Delphi and Free Pascal, Habarisoft offers a client library for RabbitMQ wich has been tested with RabbitMQ 2.8.7 and RabbitMQ 3.0.4.
