    • The fourth alpha is now available from jCenter and MavenCentral. It contains some fixes and a new option for the BlaubotChannelConfig. You can now enable or disable the transmission of messages through the network published by a IBlaubotChannel you are also subscribed to. With this option, you can reduce the network traffic in these situations. Furthermore channel messages will not be send anymore if there are no subscribers. Apart from that, the beacon mechanism was slightly improved to fasten network discovery.

    • The third alpha is now available from jCenter and MavenCentral. Besides the usual optimizations and bugfixes you are now able to prevent re-distribution of messages to sending devices. To do that, use the new publish() methods on the IBlaubotChannel.
    Additionally, subscriptions can now be made before any onConnected() event happened. They will be picked up after an onConnected() event automatically.

    • The first alpha release of Blaubot 2 is now available from jCenter and MavenCentral. It contains plenty of new features like Bluetooth support for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux based on BlueCove and a WebSocket adapter based on Netty. You can now define a central server instance using the usual connectors and acceptors to which all of the Blaubot instances of a network try to establish a connection. If one instance succeeds, you are able to reach your server from all instances (relay). Note that the factory API will change with the next alpha release.
