Infinispan 5.1.0.BETA5 is out!

Infinispan 5.1.0.BETA5 has just been the released with a few interesting additions and important fixes:

  • Locks acquired within a transaction are now reordered in order to avoid deadlocks. There’s no new configuration required to take advantage of this feature. More information on how lock reordering works can be found here.

  • One of the aims of Infinispan 5.1 'Brahma' series is to move away from JAXB and instead use Stax based XML parsing. Ahead of that, a new configuration API based on builders has been developed. Expect to hear more about it and examples on using the API in the next few days.

Amongst the fixes included in this release, it’s worth mentioning:

  • The demo paths that were broken in 5.1.0.BETA4 have now been fixed.

  • Some of the Infinispan jars in 5.1.0.BETA4 were showing duplicate classes. This was the result of an OSGI bundle generation bug, and so to avoid the issue 5.1.0.BETA5 OSGI bundle generation has been disabled. This functionality will be re-enabled once the issue has been fixed by the Maven Felix plugin.

As always, please keep the feedback coming. You can download the release from here and you get further details on the issues addressed in the changelog.

Cheers,

Galder
