Mule ESB 3.0.0 M3 Release Notes

Mule Community Edition version 3.0.0-M3 is a milestone release on our way to a stable Mule 3 version.

Current Release Version

	Enterprise Edition	Community Edition
ESB		x
Management Console

New features:

This release includes an early preview of the new deployment model for Mule applications, check out the Mule 3. Rebooted post for details.

This release features a lot of Lifecycle improvements. While this may not affect you directly, the behaviour during startup and shutdown should be much more consistent and failsafe now.

As previously announced in a blog post we removed the MuleMessageAdapter and replaced it with a MuleMessageFactory. Regular users should not notice the change but if you’re writing your own transports you may want to read about the necessary migration steps.

Migration

For further information on migrating from Mule 2.2 to 3.0 see the Migration Guide.
