Apache Camel 4.19 has just been released. This release introduces a set of new features and noticeable improvements that we will cover in this blog post. Camel Spring Boot This is our first release that supports Spring Boot v4. Spring Boot v3 is no longer supported. Camel Jackson 3 Components Four new components have been added which provide Jackson 3 support - they are named similarly to the previously existing camel-jackson components.
Recent Camel releases introduced several features that work well together for AI-powered integrations: the camel-openai component (4.17), the SimpleFunction interface, chain operator, and structured output with JSON Schema (4.18), and Gmail DataType Transformers (4.19). To show how these pieces fit, I built an email triage agent that classifies Gmail messages using an LLM, moves them to labels, and drafts smart replies. The whole thing runs with Camel JBang. No Maven project, no framework setup.
The Camel community announces the immediate availability of the Camel 4.19.0 release with 283 new features and improvements. The artifacts are published and ready for you to download from the Central Maven repository. For more details please take a look at the release notes. Many thanks to all who made this release possible. On behalf of the Camel PMC, Gregor Zurowski
