las2peer Release 0.7.0
Finally we are happy to release las2peer 0.7.0 introducing exciting new features paving the path to secure, self-deploying services.
- A new service API, making features more accessible and intuitive to use for new developers.
- More secure services: Services are now isolated from the core.
- Easier service deployment: Services can be uploaded to the network once and deployed on any node with a single command!
- A node admin connector, bringing together all new features in a nice GUI allowing
- easy management of the node,
- uploading services and providing and
- an easy-to-use widget space for service front ends.
- A single las2peer-bundle jar containing everything to get started with las2peer: Simply make your service depending on “las2peer-bundle”!
- Simpler set up of service dependencies: The new build script in the Template project bundles all service dependencies in one single jar, making managing dependencies a lot easier for service developers.
As always, we provide a guide for service developers to migrate their services.
