• What is a pipeline ?

A pipeline represents a set of n connections to a server. The pipeline class offers some simple 'management' APIs to work with containing 'pipe' objects. Basically it allows you to add or remove new connections to the pipeline.

• What is a pipe ?

A pipe represents one connection to a server. The pipe API is basically an abstraction layer for any server side connection, which all allows you to simply 'read' from, or 'write' to a server connection. However, technical details like RESTful APIs (e.g. HTTP PUT or HTTT GET) are not exposed on the pipeline and pipe APIs. In the future you can have different type of pipe objects (-> connections). The default (and CURRENTLY only supported) type is a REST connection.

Below is an example from our JavaScript lib:

Easy enterprise iOS app

(with AeroGear)

Type: Tools in Action

Abstract: Today, it’s a fact: mobile and smartphones sales are double than personal computers. Tomorrow, enterprise applications will be mobile apps. What are the challenges of mobile apps: accessing RESTful services, paging, data storage, security features... But not only your device interacts with cloud services, enterprise applications interact with registered devices providing you valuable contextual information.

AeroGear iOS 1.5.0 is out!

Bye bye iOS 5/6 (gone all the hooks to cater for version bugs), we love iOS7!

Spring cleaning obliged, another important shift for this release was the move from AFNetworking 1.x series to AFNetworking 2.x. Going forward, this move will allow us to take advantage some of the new capabilities provided by AFnet, such as the support of pluggable serializers, to offer some great new features in the future. Although the move needed a significant internal refactoring on our libraries, the interfaces stay the same. The only minor noticeable change is the usage of progress bar in pipe. Check out our recipe Shoot on cookbook to see new usage.

Still internal refactoring, aerogear-push-ios-registration went lighter in its dependencies, removing it's usage on AFNetworking and

Requirements

• Have gpg-agent installed, configured and running. One way to be sure to check if your gpg agent is running correctly is to encrypt and decrypt a file, using the gpg tool, don't forget to pass the --use-agent option, you should be prompted with a dialog (depending on your OS asking for your pass phrase). Now try to decrypt again, you hsould not be asked again for your pass phrase : your agent is working.

Release process

Preparation

Once the code is ready to be released, create a branch that indicates the version, e.g. 0.5.0-release and send a heads-up (or vote) email to the mailing list asking to test the bits before we do release.
