The Eclipse Foundation has announced the release of Eclipse Zenoh 1.0.0, an open source protocol that integrates communication, storage and computation in embedded systems and across cloud platforms. This release builds on years of development and real-world deployment experience, delivering new features tailored for developers and engineers in robotics, automotive and broader edge and IoT sectors.
“Eclipse Zenoh has proven to be a valuable protocol for innovative robotics and automotive applications, and with this release, we expect that trajectory to accelerate,” said Mike Milinkovich, the executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. “Its unique blend of abstraction, scalability and high performance make it ideal for complex, real-time applications like advanced robotics.”
Eclipse Zenoh, which has been in use for several years, unifies data in motion, data at rest, and computations. The 1.0.0 release represents a significant evolution, incorporating insights from industrial deployments to deliver a mature, production-ready solution.
“The Eclipse Zenoh 1.0.0 release represents a carefully considered step forward,” said Angelo Corsaro, CEO & CTO of ZettaScale, the creator of the Zenoh project. “We’ve taken the time to learn from real-world implementations, refining Zenoh to meet the complex needs of modern network communication. This release offers developers an efficient, scalable toolset that streamlines development and communication across critical technology stacks.”
Key enhancements in Eclipse Zenoh 1.0.0 include shared memory and zero-copy support, advanced end-to-end protection, high-performance access control and specific extensions for robotics and automotive protocols. As the 1.0.0 release, the update also introduces backward compatibility and enables long-term support.
