Kontraktor Versions Save

• added hot reloading for react jsx transpiler / bundling stack
• integrated google clojure compiler option for kontraktor-http production mode (transpiles down to ES5)

• support cyclic imports in .jsx files

• fixed some threading issue introduced with 4.15
• fixed a bug in JSX compiler

• simple REST-to-Actor Adapter for async rest services
• "Krouter" for High Availability (hothot-, hotwarm failover, multiversion, zero downtime update etc. ). doc pending

JSX/JNPM implementation new options jnpm.kson config:

• transformFunction (defaults to "React.createElement"). Enables use of jsx for other libs than react
• nodeLibraryMap. Globally patch require/imports to a distinct package. (e.g. patch react to preact)

general interop with non java via json

• improved Unknown implementation. A javascript client might send arbitrary json (without the need to adapt to java-object-serialization requirements), the server side java method then receives an Unknown object reflecting the json structure (see also doc+samples)

numerous enhancements in jsx/SPA app support

• fixed various glitches in jsx processing/parsing
• support for bundling/importing npm-style 'require' libraries. kontraktor imports from node_modules like webpack/browserify
• jnpm - pure java implementation of npm => no nodejs stack required in order to run and bundle modern front-end frameworks
• support for 'export default xx;' statements
• 'kontraktor-client.js' is now usable both from browser and via npm / webpack (and kontraktor jnpm ofc) see example

• properly process relative imports in .jsx files
• also accept tagnames like <XY.Z > in jsx
• performance fix: gzip compress index.html once when in production mode, not with each request
• example + fixes to run kontraktor + intrinsic react/jsx inside any servlet 3.1 container (tested with tomcat 8.5)

• error with '*' comments in certain places
• do not require '.jsx' in import statement
