Released on 14 October 2011

Summary

1.7 is the a general update to bemokoLive that builds on top of 1.6 and provides enhanced operational reliability.

This release provides high availability support. This enhanced reliability comes from an improved plugin compilation mechanism. As always sites (along with template and plugin code) can be hot deployed into a running environment with little impact on other sites. The new production grade plugin loader now supports caching compiled classes reducing the need for any re-compilation if not-necessary. Memory foot prints for each site have also been reduced to again reduce the impact of site re-deployments.

Groovy v1.8

bemokoLive v1.7 has upgraded Groovy to v1.8.2 (previously it was on v1.7.10). This can lead to some edge case incompatibility issues. The known ones are documented below

Casting a null to an int

Prior to bemokoLive v1.7 the following 

int fontSize = intent.size as int

was supported when intent.size was a null. fontSize would evaluate as 0. From bemokoLive v1.7 you need to use an Integer, i.e. 

Integer fontSize = intent.size as Integer

Otherwise you will get the exception org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException : Cannot cast object 'null' with class 'null' to class 'int'. Try 'java.lang.Integer' instead

The bemokoLive imagetranscoder has been updated accordingly. If you use the imagetranscoder, it will be necessary for you to upgrade the imagetranscoder you use when you upgrade to bemokoLive v1.7
