After 10 months of development, with 3 milestones, and 2 RC releases, we are releasing Apache Camel v4 today as LTS release. The Camel 4.0.x is a LTS release, and we will support it for 1 year. This blog post highlights some noteworthy new features and improvements in Camel v4. The features are based on work since January 2023, which was the time when we switched main branch to be Camel v4 based.
The Camel community announces the immediate availability of the new Camel 4.0.0 major release. It comes with 654 new features and improvements. The artifacts are published and ready for you to download from the Central Maven repository. For more details please take a look at the release notes. Many thanks to all who made this release possible. On behalf of the Camel PMC, Gregor Zurowski
We already explained how to take monitor your Integrations in the previous blog post about monitoring operations on Camel K. The good news is there are only a few changes with the move to Micrometer Metrics. From Microprofile to Micrometer Camel K 2.0 was the occasion to move from one technology (Microprofile) to another (Micrometer) for the Prometheus trait configuration implementation. The reason is the deprecation notice from Quarkus Microprile’s implementation in favor of using Micrometer Metrics.
