We are glad to announce the release of ASGARD version 2.3, built to support JIAC 5.1.3. This release of ASGARD is finally able to support Java 7 on OSX by using LWJGL 2.9.0. All other additions, changes, and bugfixes in the beta versions since 2.2 are included in this release.

Changes:

- Moved new connection management to own class and added connection attempt counter display.
- If no port is specified when connecting a registry, the default port (1099) is used.
- Localhost URLs are filtered per default before attempting to connect.
- Failed connection attempts are not visualized as gray agent nodes per default.
