It looks like the word is spreading that the FUSE has a new release out. The release includes enhancements across the FUSE family of products including, FUSE ESB, FUSE Message Broker, FUSE Services Framework and FUSE Mediation Router. The releases include significant performance and feature improvements and tighter integration between the FUSE ESB and all components of the product family.

Congratulations to the ServiceMix project for graduating from the Incubator! Having participated in several projects that have graduated from the Apache incubator, I can attest that this is an awesome milestone to have completed.

I’m one of those guys that thinks that REST is great technology. Sure, REST is does not do everything that SOAP can do, but I think that REST is built to be SIMPLE, something that SOAP and it’s WS-* buddies forgot about.
