RIFE 1.0 released

Release Marks a Milestone for the API Stability and the Feature Set.

After four years of development and 70  releases, a feature-complete RIFE 1.0 has been released. RIFE is a full-stack, open-source Java web application framework, providing request-based and component-based approaches and blending them together into a consistent component object model. This release marks a milestone for the API stability and the feature set.

The project has come a long way over the years and the goals have been constantly re-evaluated against production projects and newly introduced technologies. RIFE is now running on sites with 300000 daily page views, it is used for critical systems in a leading telephony company and has scaled down to embedded usage in mobile phones. We have also developed several other open-source projects with it like a forum (Bamboo), a blog (Elephant), an information bot (Drone), and a to-do list tracker (Bla-bla List).

Below are the highlights:

  • Greatly improved documentation
  • Backwards incompatible changes (to offer more consistency for future releases)
  • Content syndication
  • Callbacks
  • SOAP improvements
  • Attachment and HTML support for mail queue
  • More production configuration parameters
