This is the RHQ 4.14 release. This is mostly a bug fix release over RHQ 4.13
RHQ 4.13 update process (and thus the RHQ 4.14 one has changed from previous versions. Follow the instructions given after the update command has been run, to complete the update of the storage node schema. If you're updating from older version than 4.12, please also check the instructions and notes given in the 4.12 release notes.
RHQ 4.14 is recommended with Java7, and also supports Java6.
Before we come to new features and changes, let's talk about the
RHQ development by the RHQ core team has been slowed down, as the core team of is now working on Hawkular (http://hawkular.org/). As you can see from the list of bugs fixed below, the development did not come to a stand still. Nevertheless, you should not expect many changes going forward.
We are though interested in contributions and are more than happy to create new releases post RHQ 4.14. Without community contributions, 4.14 will most probably the last release.
WildFly 10 application server is a successor of AS7 and WildFly 8 with some changes in internal components (e.g. around Messaging). This release supports some of the changed components, but not all new subsystems since AS7.
You cannot use "rhqctl install --start" when installing. The RHQ Server fails to reload itself during the installation process when you do this. Instead, execute "install" separate from "start" - as an example: rhqctl install && rhqctl start

The GWT part of the UI has partially been translated into German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Czech, Russian and Korean. The language should be automatically selected depending on your browser settings. You can explicitly access other translations by appending a locale specifier in the URL. For example to select the German translation you would append ?locale=de to the base URL, e.g. http://localhost:7080/coregui/?locale=de.
Supported locales are:
zh for Chinese partial
cs for Czech partial
de for German full
ja for Japanese full
pt for Portuguese partial
ko for Korean partial
Please ping us if you want to help translating the UI to your language. Translations are done via the translations project on GitHub, which also has some instructions on how to start.
