JXTA-C "Athens" Release
Acknowledgments
Special thanks to all of the community members who have contributed
ideas, reported problems, provided patches, and have helped greatly to
improve the quality, and robustness of this release.
Particularly for this release:
-
Alexander (rednax at jxta dot org): JXTA-C relay server, no need to say more. 
New Features & Significant Changes
Nonblocking TCP transport
No more one thread per connection, TCP transport is now using nonblocking I/O. With the poll interface introduced in endpoint service in previous release and thread pool support, the process of messages is still in parallel but each message is conducted by a single thread without hand over between threads.
Relay server support
Relay server code have been committed and now JXTA-C peers can act as relay servers. This implementation is fully compatible with JSE implementation, i.e., both C and JSE clients are supported.
Transport events enhancement
With new transport event types supported, Endpoint Service now cache messengers in both physical transport address and peer ID. When sending out a message, if there is a connection, the routing process is skipped and go directly to the messenger.
Downloading and Installing
Athens is under development under main trunk, you have to directly access CVS.
