Eclipse Vert.x 4 CR2 released!

We are ex­tremely pleased to an­nounce the first re­lease can­di­date of Vert.x 4.0.

We con­sider Vert.x 4.0 fea­ture com­plete and we will do a few re­lease can­di­dates to allow the com­mu­nity to test it and re­port is­sues.

Vert.x 4 is the evo­lu­tion of the Vert.x 3.x se­ries that will bring key fea­tures to Vert.x.

Since this re­lease can­di­date, we have cre­ated a new Home­Brew dis­tri­b­u­tion with a cus­tom third-​party repos­i­tory (TAP) and a vertx4 for­mula:

$ brew tap vertx-distrib/tap
$ brew install vertx4

This is the sec­ond re­lase can­di­date of Vert.x 4. You can of course ex­pect more as we get feed­back from the com­mu­nity and fix is­sues that we failed to catch be­fore.
