Axon 1.3 released

A new version of Axon has been released. The 1.3 version contains a few
minor new features, as well as some fixed for issues found in 1.2.1.

In 1.3, you can now use the CommandTemplate to help with send-and-wait type
operations. The command template hides the rather ugly Future API, making
it easier for you to focus on the exception cases that really matter.

Furthermore, the test fixtures will now automatically detect any state
changes that occur outside of an Aggregate’s Event Handler method. This
type of mistake is generally hard to locate, and may result in very subtle
and hard-to-debug issues in your application. There is nothing you need to
configure. If you use the fixtures, Axon will detect those mistakes for you.

As requested on this list, it is now possible to use a non-default
Persistence Unit. The JpaEventStore now uses a EntityManagerProvider, which
is easily customized to use a specific Persistence Unit. It also allows for
an Application Managed Entity Manager, in case you don’t use an Application
Container.

Check out the downloads section <http://www.axonframework.org/downloads> or
update you maven poms to get started.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Cheers,

Allard
