Styx 1.0 Release

New Styx 1.0 is coming to a public release soon. It features a much improved extension API. You can read more about the API improvements in Styx-1.0-API page.

To facilitate a Styx 1.0 release:

• We will merge styx-1.0-dev back to master imminently. All new feature development from then on will take place on master against 1.0 code base.
• We have created a styx-0.7 branch for old Styx 0.7 code. It is in maintenance mode, and will be receiving bug fixes only.
• We will fix some outstanding pain points in the new 1.0 API before a public Styx 1.0 release. The forthcoming 1.0 release will "freeze" Styx API. Until then, master may experience small non-backwards compatible changes.

Issues blocking the Styx 1.0 API freeze:

• Issues to be addressed before the API freeze are tagged with styx-1.0 tag.
  • https://github.com/HotelsDotCom/styx/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Astyx-1.0
• Improved HTTP streaming content handling
  • Hide Netty ByteBuf
  • Automatic reference counting
  • Safer API to ensure consumers don't accidentally break the observable chain between Styx core and client
