+A new version of the watchdog is being tested over at [openfaas-incubator/of-watchdog](https://github.com/openfaas-incubator/of-watchdog).

+This re-write is mainly structural for on-going maintenance. It will be a drop-in replacement for the existing watchdog and also has binary releases available.

+* AfterBurn Optimizations
+
+Forking a new process per request has many advantages for isolation, simplicity and means any process can be a function without any additional code. AfterBurn is an optimization which maintains one single process between all requests and means a Java function can execute a round-trip in as little as 10-12ms without further tuning. It relies on a simple client library maintained by this project for each runtime language.

+You can read about [AfterBurn](https://blog.alexellis.io/openfaas-serverless-acceleration/) on my blog. It is supported by the of-watchdog and a version is also available for the existing watchdog in [PR #224](https://github.com/openfaas/faas/pull/224).
