Dear Infinispan community,   The Alpha2 release of Infinispan 7.0.0 is now available.

This release brings Cross-Site Replication State Transfer in a stable topology (i.e. no nodes leaving or joining during the state transfer) and several bug fixes.

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.

Note: The LevelDB and Rest Cache Store artifacts published to the Maven repo for this version are broken. Please wait for the next Alpha release if you plan to use them. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions please check our forums, our mailing or ping us directly on IRC.

Yes, yet another alpha for Infinispan 4.2.0 codenamed Ursus.  What’s new in this alpha?  A lot of bug fixes, reported by you the community, on earlier alphas as well as on 4.1.0 Radegast.  For a full list of what’s changed, please consult these release notes.

Please do give this release a spin and provide as much feedback as you can.  A feature-complete beta is imminent and we expect it to be very stable - as far as betas go - and all thanks to your feedback.

Download the release here, and talk to us about it on the forums here.

Enjoy, Manik
