WHAT'S NEW

There are a lot of new features and improvements in this version of Lightstreamer. As you have probably noticed in the list above, there are some brand new client SDKs included, covering iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone 7.

All the existing SDKs have been improved and extended, with bug fixes, stability improvements, and new features. The backward communication from the Client to the Server has been extremely optimized, with asynchronous support, automatic batching, and guaranteed delivery.

The Server has undergone many optimizations and feature improvements. Just to mention a few: improved JMX support (more Mbeans and security support); support for client-side SSL certificates; more extensive Monitor Console; higher scalability and throughput, especially during fast client connections and disconnections.

Please take a look at the full CHANGELOG (*).

Expect other improvements for the final release.

  1. Wondering what cathedral is in the image above?
    It's the Duomo of Milan, the Italian city where Lightstreamer was created.
    By the way, the codename of the final release of Lightstreamer Server 4.0 and its new SDKs is Duomo ;-)

  3. Yes, when using Lightstreamer with Flex, you can decide whether to use AMF encoding or note.
