This release has several notable features:

• The Payara Micro API has been improved, now granting control over running instances and the ability to run asadmin commands.
• There is now an auto-binding feature for the HTTP and HTTPS ports of Payara Micro instances. This feature allows Payara Micro instances to automatically find a free port if the default or specified HTTP or HTTPS ports are already bound to.
• This release also introduces the Payara-Blue series of distributions, built using the IBM JDK for AIX systems.

See the What's new in Payara 4.1.153 blog for descriptions of these features.
