JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4 Update 18 Release Notes

Updated

Important: This update is not the latest cumulative patch, it is recommended to apply the latest update, see these links for the latest:

In order to better meet customer expectations, micro releases for JBoss EAP 6 have been discontinued and replaced with updates delivered on a repeating schedule, targeting a new release every 6 weeks.

Each new update will contain a number of bug fixes for customer reported issues and potentially a number of security fixes. We expect that the updates will substantially reduce the number of individual patches that we produce and that customers must manage to keep their installations up to date.
