Infinispan 7.0.0.Alpha5 relased!

Dear Community,
It is our pleasure to announce the Alpha5 release of Infinispan 7.0.0. This release includes numerous fixes and enhancements in every area of Infinispan. This will be our last alpha release as we move into beta stage and prepare for the final Infinispan 7.0 release.
Major theme of this release is Hot Rod eventing. Java Hot Rod clients can now subscribe to cache entry created, modified and removed events. For more details see documentation. Infinispan Query is now based on Hibernate Search 5; we also use protoparser lib instead of relying on binary descriptors generated by protoc. Our JPA cache store works in Karaf; we have also made further Map/Reduce improvements and bug fixes. Starting with this release Infinispan server is based on WildFly 8.1 while Hot Rod SASL implementation supports QOP for encryption.
For a complete list of features and bug fixes included in this release please refer to the release notes. Visit our downloads section to find the latest release.

Cheers, The Infinispan team.
