WebSphere Liberty V17.0.0.1 is here! It includes fewer big changes, but many new enhancements. Perhaps the largest two changes in 17.0.0.1 will be the ability to override application bindings and extensions in the server.xml, and support for configuring outbound SSL independently of inbound support. Some smaller enhancements include: spnego-1.0 now accepts raw Kerberos tokens, server logs can format dates using ISO-8601, server.env can now be read from usr/shared directory. There are also enhancements to batch, z/OS and our REST API doc support.

WebSphere Liberty 17.0.0.1 will be delivered simultaneously through WASdev (https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/) as well as directly through IBM Cloud. This release will be the first Liberty release that has a version of 17. We are incrementing the version based to 17 based on the year to 2017. In this delivery, we’re offering a variety of new capabilities. Check out the enhancements here: https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/blog/2017/03/14/new-release-websphere-liberty-17-0-0-1/

Each quarter we host a free webcast to explain all the great new stuff and host a Q&A & labs session. During the Q&A and labs session developers from the WebSphere team will be on-hand to answer any questions about Liberty or help get you unstuck with any of the labs.

Agenda:

• Part 1: Executive summary: Liberty value and evolution
• Part 2: Technical deep-dive: what’s new in Liberty this quarter
• Part 3: Labs with live support plus Q&A

Join us to learn about Liberty, the latest function, and to see for yourself how it can help build your Java apps and micro services.

Note: This session is a repeat of the Liberty Virtual Proof of Technology from April 12th. (https://engage.vevent.com/index.jsp?eid=556&seid=89330&code=IMWUC)
