Weld 5.1.0.Final

2022-10-3   release   Matej Novotny

Weld Core 5.1.0.Final and Weld API 5.0.SP3 are now availabe in Maven Central.

Most notable change, which is also the cause of a minor version bump, is the removal of Weld Probe from our codebase. Details are in this JIRA issue and were also communicated via weld-dev email.

In short, Probe hasn’t been maintained for a long time and its UI part is using outdated libraries and would need to be completely re-written which is something that we opted not to do at the moment. The JIRA issue has more information as to how we could re-integrate it in the future if there is interest from the community.

Warning
Probe removal affects any integrators that were using Probe up until now! This typically concerns EE integrators such as WildFly or Liberty.
