Unfortunately, #812 is still not resolved.
I will do more tests later :-)

Thank you for your job!

Recently started testing against 2.6.0.RC0. Everything seems to work so far, I'll keep you posted as my testing progresses.

I am having this weird issue where my controller method gets called twice, once with the message body, and once with an empty body. As my controller then fails on the empty body the entire request handling fails. It seems something is not quite right with this release after all, but I am not sure what exactly triggers the second invocation on the request handler. I suppose its introduced in the afterAfter feature, but even if I disable the afterAfter filter that I've added, the issue still occurs. I'll keep debugging the issue but unfortunately I have to rollback too.

Well, that's what release candidates are for, I guess.
Please let us know when you find out.
