MuleSoft has released betas of Mule 3.8 and Studio 6.0. Mule 3.8 unifies the Mule and API gateway runtimes into a single package and adds new high availability features. Studio 6.0 allows for improved API design collaboration and debugging. It also includes new DataWeave support for flat files.

Overview
Things are shifting into high gear for the new year over at MuleSoft, and
we’ve got two beta releases ready for everyone to kick the tires on: Mule
3.8 and Studio 6.0. The Mule 3.8 release is the first to bring together our
Mule and API gateway runtimes in one single package. It also adds support
in our high availability feature for multiple data centers with a new quorum
feature. Studio features new API design round tripping with API Designer
and DataWeave flat file support. And we’ve also greatly improved
troubleshooting messages and the debugger.

UNIFIED RUNTIME FOR APIS AND
INTEGRATION
Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port
When we first started our building our API solution, we created an
extension of our core runtime specifically for API gateways. As time
moved on, APIs became more and more central to everything we do,
so in this release, we’ve unified the API Gateway extensions with the
core Mule runtime, simplifying development and operations. Please
see the migration guide for information on how to migrate.
API design collaboration across Studio & API Designer
Discover APIs to implement directly from API Manager, and easily
synchronize API designs across Studio and API Designer projects.

IMPROVED DEBUGGING AND ERROR MESSAGES
Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port
The Mule 3.8 runtime has improved error messages, which allow you
to clearly see where the error is coming from, the payload at that point
in time, the configuration for that element, and click to navigate to that
point in the flow.

MULE HA IMPROVEMENTS
Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port
Mule HA includes a number of new improvements. First and foremost,
it contains a new quorum feature, which allows you to specify the
minimum number of Mule instances to function. This allows you to
more effectively deal with network splits in a cloud environment, such
as AWS and Azure. It also now includes a persistence option, which
allows you to store data in the ObjectStore in a database. This
improves resilience and allows you to create backups for recovery
situations.

9. 9
AND MORE
Providing an External HTTP or HTTPS Port
There are also many other enhancements in this release:
DataWeave now supports flat files, allowing to parse files that have
hierarchical structures in a text delimited or fixed length form.
Users can now browse for WSDLs in the Anypoint Exchange and
when configuring the WS Consumer.
TLS improvements: TLS context can be shared in a domain, the
cipher suite and protocol configuration is allowed per connector, TLS
1.0 is now disabled by default and there is a new “insecure” mode for
local testing which doesn’t perform certificate validation.
Support for nesting tests inside folders in MUnit and running multiple
suites at a time
