<ul><li>a new 'discovery' transport <a shape="rect" href="../../../uri-protocols.xml">protocol</a> for a pure client-only peer network - a self discovering cluster which automatically finds the brokers available on the network (as opposed to the 'peer' protocol which is a complete peer based JMS network).</li><li>migrated from the org.activemq to org.activemq package name hierarchy</li><li>improved support for more JDBC databases for persistence</li><li>an optimised wire protocol (which is unfortunately not compatible with 2.x)</li></ul>
