Announce Stomperl 0.0.2: Message Queuing And Transaction

Dear all,

I'm glad to announce that Stomperl 0.0.2 is out. You can now check it out at http://stomperl.googlecode.com/svn/tags/0.0.2/ .

Since the first preview version [http://gigix.thoughtworkers.org/2007/12/12/announcement-stomperl-0-0-1], we've made some mentionable progress. The most significant one is the support to message queuing. Message destinations in Stomperl version 0.0.1 were only allowed to be topics. Now they are allowed to be queues as well: destination with its name starting with "queue^" would behave as a queue. (Check out the difference between a topic and a queue from "Enterprise Integration Patterns" [http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/].)

Furthermore, Stomperl 0.0.2 supports transaction: messages in a transaction would be send all-or-not. It also supports ACK and ERROR frames. Actually it supports all commands listed in the protocol so far. Although we haven't got any official compatibility test suite yet, I feel it's fairly safe to say that Stomperl is a 100% Stomp compatible broker.

What's next then? I'd like to do some investigation to other Stomp brokers (as well as clients) and do some performance benchmarks. Besides that, I suppose there would be some defects and housecleaning need to be done. Still, any suggestion and feedback would be highly appreciated.
