Impala 1.0 RC1 released

I am pleased to announce the release of Impala 1.0 RC1.

With this release, Impala is now feature complete for the 1.0 final release, with only minor enhancements and bug fixes planned before this happens.

Impala 1.0 RC1 contains a number of big feature improvements from the previous release:

• a more powerful and flexible mechanism for mapping web requests to and within modules, making it easier to build truly multi-module web applications.
• a new Spring web namespace for registering servlets, filters and other web artifacts in Impala web modules.
• enhancements to make the automatic module reloading mechanism more robust and suitable for applying in production environments.
• various other minor bug fixes and enhancements, particularly in the areas of build, dynamic services and class loading.

Enjoy!
