That's right! TorqueBox 1.0.0.Beta21 has been released.
Go download it and read the documentation now.
The development for this release started mid-March of this year. It represents a lot more work than just marginal changes over 1.0.0.Beta20.
A lot of focus of this release centered around messaging (tasks and processors) and how we package up our various Ruby integrations.
You'll need to adjust some for the new async task and message processor stuff, but you'll gain the ability to run processors outside of the actual TorqueBox AS. This enables easy, lightweight farms of ruby workers fed through HornetQ.
Improvements to our Rack integration layer has made it even more compliant.
TorqueBox is now based around JRuby 1.5.2, which includes fixes for a few memory and file-descriptor leaks. Our integration with JBoss VFS has continued to improve.
Many bugs were squashed during this release.
