This allows users to modify the source code, +and let `camel-jbang` hot re-load changes. + +The `camel-jbang` now also supports Camel K _modeline_ configurations, and other parts +from Camel K & Kamelets, that makes camel-jbang more on-par with Camel K and makes it possible to +run many more Camel K files out-of-the-box. + +And we also made `camel-jbang` auto download DSLs, so for example It's possible to run a kotlin +source file and automatic download the needed `camel-kotlin-dsl` JAR. + +A preliminary support for using dependency injection annotations from Spring, Quarkus, and CDI +has been added, which bridges the gap between camel-jbang and using Camel K, Camel Spring Boot, +or Camel Quarkus. The intention is to allow getting started with building Camel integrations +using `camel-jbang` / [Camel Karavan](https://github.com/apache/camel-karavan) and then +later transition to a regular Camel on Spring Boot or Quarkus project. +We will continue working on this story for upcoming releases. + +See more details at the [Camel JBang documentation](/manual/camel-jbang.html) + +### Camel UI Designer + +The [Camel Karavan](https://github.com/apache/camel-karavan) project is progressing nicely, and during the development we have identified +a number of _mistakes_ in the route model in Camel that has been improved and corrected. + +This overall makes it easier to build custom Camel tooling as there are less _model hacks_ you may need to +implement in the tool. + +The changes to the model may affect users when upgrading, so make sure to read the [upgrade guide](/manual/camel-3x-upgrade-guide-3_16.html). + +### Camel Health Checks + +The `camel-health` has been overhauled to be made simpler to implement custom health-checks. + +### Camel Route Templates + +The XML and YAML DSL now also supports creating routes from route templates. +TODO: Add code example +https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-17611 + +### Component Headers + +TODO: Work started on marking up all headers in every components for automatic documentation, and tooling support. + +### Camel Kafka + +TODO: + +We added specific health-checks for kafka producer and consumers that checks the kafka-client +internals if the connectivity with the kafka brokers is healthy or not. + +We did other bug fixes, and made camel-kafka more roboust. + +### Quarkus + +The upcoming Camel Quarkus 2.8 release will be upgraded to Camel 3.16. + +### Spring Boot + +We have upgraded to the latest Spring Boot 2.6 release. + +Added more unit tests to various starter JARs to increase the QA of this project. + +## Upgrading + +Make sure to read the [upgrade guide](/manual/camel-3x-upgrade-guide-3_16.html) if you are upgrading from a previous Camel version. + +## Release Notes Review comment: Nice one @davsclaus. I'd also include the deprecation notice for the `camel-testcontainers*` components and a link to the blog post: https://camel.apache.org/blog/2022/02/camel-test-infra/ Probably something along the lines of: ``` ## Deprecated Components: Camel Testcontainers In this release we are replacing the camel-testcontainers components with the camel-test-infra. These new set of test-related components simplify integration testing with Camel, reduce our maintenance effort, allow us to test edge case scenarios more easily and more. Please check the [blog post](https://camel.apache.org/blog/2022/02/camel-test-infra/) where we explained about the changes. ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
