December 27th, 2007 by Jacob Rus

The Orbited team is happy to announce the release of Orbited 0.3.0.

Orbited 0.3 is an evolutionary update to Orbited 0.2, with several new and exciting features, improved stability and efficiency, and some groundwork for future improvements.

Most notably, the Revolved publish/subscribe system has been rolled into Orbited. To start it, visit `http://orbited_server:8000/_/revolved/manage/`.

Other improvements include:

  • Orbited session system
  • Event buffering
  • Event retries
  • New global config options for retry limit and session timeout:
  • Retooled error handling
  • Removed some confusing and unnecessary errors
  • Added HTML error messages for bad requests from browsers
  • Reworded error messages for clarity
  • Plugin management system and Admin plugin
  • Can start or stop any installed plugin at runtime
  • To start the admin plugin, visit http://server:8000/_/admin/manage/
  • C# Orbited client API

Coming soon:

  • More documentation
  • Polling and long-polling transports
  • Benchmarks!
  • More tutorials

Thanks to:

  • Eugene Ramirez for work on the C# client
  • Frank Salim for help with the plugin system and admin plugin
  • Everyone who provided feedback on the Orbited mailing list and IRC channel.

    I used the procedure detailed in your install section, and it installed version 0.2.0 not 0.3.0.

    How can I install this new one?
