Moose 0.4.6 Released

Release Information:

Moose has been updated to work with Spring 3.0.x and Spring Web Services 2.0.x. The primary change involved updating the locations of a few classes that we depend on in the Spring frameworks. None of the semantics seem to have changed, and everything appears to be working the same as before.

Unfortunately, the changes to support Spring 3.0.x are not backwards-compatible with older Spring versions. It's on the roadmap to look into supporting legacy Spring releases along with current releases.

With 0.4.6, Moose is being transitioned from an Ant build to building with Maven. As such, the examples are mostly useless. I plan to update the examples to use the latest Spring 3 idioms. I also plan to include a REST example. I expect that the examples will ship separately from the main distribution.

To better support Maven users, Moose has been published to Maven Central. If you're a Maven user, you can now incorporate Moose into your projects with a simple dependency stanza in your project's POM.

The public Mantis issue tracker on quigley.com has been removed and replaced with issue management on BitBucket. The issue manager is available here:

Source Distribution:

The build infrastructure behind the packaging of Moose is undergoing considerable flux. I expect to be able to offer a source distribution directly from quigley.com at some point in the near future. But for the time being, you can pull a source distribution from Maven Central.

Moose has been migrated to Mercurial. A public repository is available on BitBucket:
