As you may know, the IBM Integration Bus is the successor of the WebSphere Message Broker. You may also know that to install the WebSphere Message Broker you also need to install a copy of the WebSphere MQ. And this is also true for the latest final version of the IBM Integration Bus, the version 9.
What you may not know is that the upcoming version of the IBM Integration Bus, the version 10, will no longer require a pre-installation of the WebSphere MQ, based on the current version of the IBM Integration Bus, the V10 Open Beta.
WebSphere MQ license is still part of the IBM Integration Bus package, but its installation will be required in only a few cases, such as when you want to use an MQ Input or MQ Output nodes in one of your flows.
To see what else is new in this fairly new version, you can refer to the latest release notes of the product published by IBM back in May.

The IBM Integration Middleware and the Heartbleed exploit
Wondering if the IBM Integration Middleware is affected by the Heartbleed exploit? Good news for you! In general the answer is no, but there are exceptions...
According to the official IBM Security Bulletins released so far, Cast Iron version 7.x and two MQ Support Pacs are affected. The recommendation for people who work with any of these tools is to keep watching the IBM Support Portal as well as the IBM Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) for more security bulletin updates.
See the official IBM Security Bulletins for each technology:
Besides the need of reissuing certificates that may have been compromised, there should also be an effort to revoke them. Imagine revoking and reissuing new certificates for 66% of the Internet... The Certificate Authorities might be laughing really loud by now with this unforeseen profit about to enter their books...
