Akka.net v1.4.1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-11 // about 4 years ago

1.4.1 March 11 2020

🚀 Major release for Akka.NET 1.4

⬆️ Akka.NET v1.4 is a non-breaking upgrade for all Akka.NET v1.3 and earlier users. It introduces many new features, all of which can be found in our "What's new in Akka.NET v1.4" page.

Major changes include:

Akka.Cluster.Sharding and Akka.DistributedData are now out of beta status and are treated as mature modules.
🐎 Akka.Remote's performance has significantly increased as a function of our new batching mode (see the numbers) - which is tunable via HOCON configuration to best support your needs. Learn how to performance optimize Akka.Remote here.
➕ Added new Akka.Cluster.Metrics module to measure and broadcast the performance of each node, also includes some routers that can use this information to direct traffic to the "least busy" nodes.
➕ Added Stream References to Akka.Streams, a feature which allows Akka.Streams graphs to span across the network.
🚚 Moved from .NET Standard 1.6 to .NET Standard 2.0 and dropped support for all versions of .NET Framework that aren't supported by .NET Standard 2.0 - this means issues caused by our polyfills (i.e. SerializableAttribute) should be fully resolved now.
🚚 Moved onto modern C# best practices, such as changing our APIs to support System.ValueTuple over regular tuples.

👀 And hundreds of other fixes and improvements. See the full set of changes for Akka.NET v1.4 here:
