I’m happy to announce that Mule Galaxy 1.0 is out!

The Mule Galaxy team is pleased to announce the availability of the 1.0 final release. Mule Galaxy is an open source governance platform with an integrated registry/repository. It includes versioning, lifecycle management, dependency management and policy enforcement features which enable you to effectively govern your applications and services. Support for a wide range of products is included, including support for Mule, Apache CXF, Spring and Maven. Custom integration may also be written via Galaxy’s simple Atom Publishing Protocol HTTP API.

Enterprise Version

You may also notice that we now have an enterprise version*. There are some features which may or may not be interesting to you:

• Out of the box clustering support. We’ve built some tools to make it easy to set up Galaxy in a cluster.
• Free text search with support for MS Office documents. We developed this feature for a customer who writes their service documentation in Word documents. They wanted the ability to associate the docs with services/applications so people could easily find services and figure out how to use them.
• Easy to UIs for defining new artifact types and indexes. (This can be done in community as well, but it requires you doing it with an XML descriptor)

* Some people may want you to think that because we have a commercial version that we are not committed to open source and are truly evil. Yes, we do need to make some money and cannot give away everything for free. I don’t think this is evil though. We develop Galaxy Community in the open. And certain features will probably migrate to the open source version as we move along. If you have feedback on what we should be doing, please drop us a line as we’re happy to listen.

How are you using Reg/Reps?

As we move into planning our next releases, we’d definitely like to hear how you’re using Galaxy (or any one of our competitor’s products). If you have features which you find useful or features which you really need, we’d like to know.
