Compression is no longer supported in Akka 2.0?

I used zlib compression for messages in Akka 1.3. Now I am switching to Akka 2.0 RC2, and it seems that message compression is no longer mentioned in the Akka documentation (for Akka 2.0 RC2).

Does this mean that message compression is no longer supported in Akka 2, or is compression happening behind the scenes, but the compression settings are no longer configured?

Thanks.

Searching for the Akka-User mailing list for compression will show why it does not exist in 2.0 => it completely confused throughput. Here are the relevant posts: http://groups.google.com/group/akka-user/search?hl=en_US&q=compression&start=0&scoring=d&hl=en_US&

Messages are binary drops. You can invest in them whatever you want. If there is an advantage to compressing your messages, just do it before sending them. There is no performance advantage if Akka does the job for you.
