Infinispan 8.2.0.Beta1 and 8.1.1.Final are out!
Dear all,
We are proud to announce two releases today:
Infinispan 8.2.0.Beta1 is the first release in the 8.2 cycle. It doesn’t have big new features, but there are a few significant changes in addition to the usual bug fixes:
-
SyncConsistentHashFactory is now the default consistent hash factory (ISPN-4851). This means the owners of a key are going to be the same in all the caches, as long as the caches have the same members and the same number of owners.
-
We now have a new way for applications to determine the location of keys: the KeyPartitioner interface (ISPN-5465). In spirit it is very similar to the existing Grouper interface, but it is segment-aware. Note that none of the HotRod clients support Keypartitioner in this release.
-
We improved the rolling upgrade performance (ISPN-6046).
-
We added a new event logger that records cluster membership, cache topology, and cache availability changes (ISPN-5816). In the next release, it will also be accessible through the server’s management console.
Infinispan 8.1.1.Final includes a number of bug fixes. All users of 8.1.0.Final are encouraged to upgrade.
