"Model your domain in the language and style of Domain Driven Design. Implement it using Scala case classes and companion objects. Pass us your subdomain, and we provide the persistence. Persistence concerns, operations and data are abstracted behind an elegant persistence API. We provide you with fully featured repositories for MongoDB and Cassandra. We provide a suite of integration tests to exercise your repositories against a real database, as well as in-memory repositories for other tests."

This milestone ships with a whole lot of new features for you to try out: implicit highlight, move refactoring, scala debugger and semantic highlight are the most exciting ones. If you are like us, once you start using them you will no longer be able go back. They are simply too addictive!

Jerkson is a Scala wrapper for Jackson which brings Scala's ease-of-use to Jackson's features.

Data.js is a data representation framework for Javascript. It is being developed in the context of Substance, a web-based document authoring and publishing engine. It took some inspiration from various existing libraries such as the Google Visualization API or Underscore.js.  You can report bugs and discuss features on the GitHub issues page, on Freenode IRC in the #_substance chann el, post questions to the Google Group, or send tweets to @_substance. With Data.js you can: Model your domain data using a simple graph-based object model that can be serialized to JSON. Traverse your graph, including relationships using a simple API. Manipulate and query data on the client (browser) or on the server (Node.js) by using exactly the same API. 

"Rapture I/O is a fledgling library for Scala which provides a consistent, intuitive and extensible API for handling common I/O operations, such as sending HTTP requests and streaming data between files, URLs and sockets. Rapture I/O offers the functionality of java.io, but unifies its features into simpler, more coherent and higher-level concepts, allowing tasks which once took several lines of code to be often accomplished in just one, taking full advantage of Scala's rich syntax."

"In incoming Play2.1 version, a huge re-thinking has been done about JSON API provided by Play2.0.x which provides some great features but is clearly just the tip of the iceberg… Here is a first presentation of those evolutions aimed at unleashing your JSON usage in Play2 and revealing new forms of manipulation of web dataflows from/to external data systems. A usecase of this is manipulating DB structures directly using Json without any class models for document oriented structures such as MongoDB"

"Configuration library for JVM languages. Overview implemented in plain Java with no dependencies extensive test coverage supports files in three formats: Java properties, JSON, and a human-friendly JSON superset merges multiple files across all formats can load from files, URLs, or classpath good support for "nesting" (treat any subtree of the config the same as the whole config) users can override the config with Java system properties, java -Dmyapp.foo.bar=10 supports configuring an app, with its framework and libraries, all from a single file such as application.conf parses duration and size settings, "512k" or "10 seconds" converts types, so if you ask for a boolean and the value is the string "yes", or you ask for a float and the value is an int, it will figure it out. JSON superset features: comments includes substitutions ("foo" : ${bar}, "foo" : Hello ${who}) properties-like notation (a.b=c) less noisy, more lenient syntax substitute environment variables This library limits itself to config files. If you want to load config from a database or something, you would need to write some custom code. The library has nice support for merging configurations so if you build one from a custom source it's easy to merge it in."

"Java 8 also brings many security improvements that are as important as the new language features. Of particular interest are the improvements to the TLS stack, implemented in the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) component. Why? Because Java 7 and earlier do not give you enough control over TLS termination. As a result, it was simply not possible to terminate TLS at the Java level and achieve sufficient security. The deficiencies have been addressed in Java 8. Several other key improvements ensure that Java now provides a very good TLS stack. Many of the changes will take effect as you change the JRE, even with older applications."

"Clocker features: Automatically create and manage multiple Docker hosts in cloud infrastructure Intelligent container placement, providing: resilience fault tolerance easy scaling maximum resource utilisation of hosts maximum application performance Use of any public or private cloud as the underlying infrastructure for Docker Hosts Deployment of existing Brooklyn/CAMP blueprints to Docker locations, without modification."

"Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc."

"Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. With simple API calls, you can launch and stop container-enabled applications, query the complete state of your cluster, and access many familiar features like security groups, Elastic Load Balancing, EBS volumes, and IAM roles. You can use Amazon ECS to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs and availability requirements. You can also integrate your own scheduler or third-party schedulers to meet business or application specific requirements."

"Firebase can power your app's backend, including data storage, user authentication, static hosting, and more."

"Material Design Icons are the official open-source icons featured in the Google Material Design specification."

"You may have noticed some new OS releases: CoreOS (August 2013), Project Atomic (April 2014), and more recently Snappy Ubuntu Core (December 2014). These are all minimalist OSs designed to host Docker applications and simplify your infrastructure.  If you are interested in the distinguishing features of each and how they differ from traditional Linux distributions, read on."

"CoreOS is a Linux distribution that has been rearchitected to provide features needed to run modern clustered infrastructure stacks. The strategies and architectures that influence CoreOS allow companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter to run their services at scale with high resilience. We've implemented them correctly so you don't have to endure the slow, learn-as-you-go infrastructure building process. CoreOS can run on your existing hardware or on most cloud providers. Clustering works across platforms, making it easy to migrate parts of your gear over to CoreOS, or to switch cloud providers while running CoreOS."

"Polipo is a small and fast caching web proxy (a web cache, an HTTP proxy, a proxy server). While Polipo was designed to be used by one person or a small group of people, there is nothing that prevents it from being used by a larger group. Polipo has some features that are, as far as I know, unique among currently available proxies: Polipo will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if it believes that the remote server supports it, whether the incoming requests are pipelined or come in simultaneously on multiple connections (this is more than the simple usage of persistent connections, which is done by e.g. Squid); Polipo will cache the initial segment of an instance if the download has been interrupted, and, if necessary, complete it later using Range requests; Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as HTTP/1.0, and up- or downgrade server replies to the client's capabilities (this may involve conversion to or from the HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding); Polipo has complete support for IPv6 (except for scoped (link-local) addresses). Polipo can optionally use a technique known as Poor Man's Multiplexing to reduce latency even further. In short, Polipo uses a plethora of techniques to make web browsing (seem) faster."
