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.
You can get both releases from our download page. If you are new to Infinispan, you can learn how to use it, and help us continually improve it.

Infinispan 8.1.0.Beta1
Dear all,
The first Beta release of Infinispan 8.1 is now available for use. Our new admin console has gone through quite a lot of changes recently. As mentioned before the new console allows for administration of Infinispan cluster nodes and now we would like to show some screenshots of a running server in the below gallery.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the admin console web application, let’s shape it together!
For all other improvements as well as bug fixes you can see the release notes. Infinispan 8.1 Final is still on track for the end of this month. If you are new to Infinispan you can learn how to use it, and help us continually improve it.
Cheers! Will

Infinispan 5.2.0.Beta6 is out!
5.2.0.Beta6 brings a new batch of fixes around Non-Blocking State Transfer, Map/Reduce and command line interface. But it’s not only that, it also brings a bran new pice of functionality: support of concurrent updates for non-transactional caches(ISPN-2552) . Prior Infinispan 5.2.0.Beta6, there was a high chance for a deadlock to occur when two threads concurrently update the same key. This caused significant performance costs and throughput degradation, linear to the amount of contention. This functionality is enabled by default even though a compatibility mode is still available. You can read more about it here.
For a detailed list of all the issues fixed please refer thehttps://issues.jboss.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310799&version=12320690[ release notes].
You can download the distribution or the maven artifact. If you have any questions please check our forums, our mailing lists or ping us directly on IRC!

Infinispan 5.2.0.Beta5
Hi Infinispan users,
5.2.0.Beta5 contains the usual batch of fixes especially around Non-Blocking state transfer functionality, Map Reduce and the CLI.
Functionality-wise, it is now possible to read/write data concurrently to the same remote cache both via a RemoteCacheManager and a RemoteCacheStore by enabling "rawValues" in the latter. This is the final item that was needed to enable us to implement Rolling Upgrades for remote caches. Because of this feature the HotRod protocol required a couple of extensions and therefore its version has been bumped to 1.2
For a detailed list of all the issues fixed please refer the release notes.
You can download the distribution or the maven artifact. If you have any questions please check our forums, our mailing lists or ping us directly on IRC!
Cheers,
