Infinispan 9.0.0.Alpha1 is out!
Dear Infinispan community,
it is with great pleasure that we are announcing the release of Infinispan 9.0.0.Alpha1 the first release of the Infinispan 9 series.
We plan to do many exciting things in Infinispan 9.x, and this release is just one of many stepping-stones that will get us there. Here’s what’s included with Alpha1:
-
Graceful clustered shutdown / restart with persistent state
-
The REST cache store has a shiny new Netty-based backend, courtesy of Antoine Toulme
-
and many, many bugfixes: consult our issue tracker for a list of things we have fixed.
A new major release is also the moment to peform some "spring-cleaning" (pun intended):
-
We’ve removed Spring 3.x support
-
We’ve removed our home-brew map/reduce implementation. By now you should be using the wonderful Streams-based API instead which are much nicer and provide better performance
-
We’ve dropped our custom NotifyingListeners in favour of Java’s standard CompletableFuture
Don’t forget to check-out our roadmap to see the schedule and the things we want to do
