Hi,

stompserver version 0.9.8 has been released!

- \<by Patrick H., Lionel B.\>
- [http://stompserver.rubyforge.org/](http://stompserver.rubyforge.org/)

Stomp messaging server with file/dbm/memory/activerecord based FIFO  
queues, queue monitoring, and basic authentication.

Changes:

## 0.9.8 / 16 Aug 2007

- Several storage backends instead of Madeleine (allow tradeoffs between  
robustness with ActiveRecord and speed with memory with intermediary  
solutions based on file or dbm storages).
- Better load distribution between clients acknowledging messages after  
processing them.
- Monitoring support through a dedicated queue.

As I’m currently working on a project where I need distributed  
processing, I extended Stompserver to fit my needs. This release is a  
partial cleanup and enhancement of a development branch by snacktime.

There’s still some cleanup to do and the dbm backend should be  
considered alpha-quality at best. But it worksforme™ and has been  
distributing tens of thousands of message since its last restart without  
a hitch (with the memory backend).

If you want performance and can afford message loss, use the memory  
backend. If you want transactional message processing (messages are  
stored in database until a client can process them and reloaded when the  
server restarts), you can use the activerecord backend (configuration  
details with activerecord migration in the documentation).

Happy message processing,

Lionel

PS: I can provide a Gentoo ebuild which installs an init.d script and a  
default conf file on request (it’s pending more code cleanups before  
submission to the distribution).
