CoreWCF v1.4 and v1.5 preview1 released

[mconnew]

We have had multiple new releases in the past week. We released v1.4.0 with several new transports. We now have support for RabbitMQ (AMQP), and Apache Kafka. The transports MSMQ and NetNamedPipe are still in preview as there's still some pending work for each of them. We quickly made a patch release v1.4.1 as we discovered some package dependency versions weren't correct. There are no code changes between these releases, only updated dependencies. Links to the release notes will be at the end of this message.

We have also released v1.5.0-preview1. This version has a couple of bug fixes for NetNamedPipe support, and the main big feature is support for Unix domain sockets via the CoreWCF.UnixDomainSocket package. This is currently in preview as the client packages haven't been released yet from the dotnet/wcf project. Unofficial client packages are available from a temporary nuget feed, details of which are in the blog post introducing this feature.

We would like to invite any companies who are using CoreWCF in production to have their name listed as a user of CoreWCF in the main README.MD of the CoreWCF repo. We would like to include a link to your company website along with your company name or logo. Please send an email to contact@corewcf.net from an email address from the same domain as the url you wish to have linked with details of how you would like the link to appear.
