Infinispan 5.3.0.Alpha1 is out!

With a code name hard to match - Tactical Nuclear Penguin - and besides almost 50 bug fixes, this release contains several important features:

  • Total Order (TO) transaction protocol developed within the scope of the CloudTM project. The TO exhibits very good throughput in scenarios in which multiple transactions modify the same key set concurrently (high contention)

  • support for JSR-107 (Java Caching API) implementation, allowing Infinispan to be used as a cache provider 

  • A new implementation of the Lucene Directory for Infinispan based on Lucene 4. Compatible now with all versions of Apache Lucene from 2.4 to 4.2.

  • A new packaging for the Infinispan server modules, based on the JBoss AS

Please stay tuned for blogs detailing all these features. For a complete list of features included in this release refer to the release notes.
