The amount of feedback we’ve had on Infinispan 5.2.0.CR2 has been tremendous, and so we considered that Infinispan was not ready to go Final yet, so we decided to do another candidate release, called 5.2.0.CR3.

In this candidate release, we’ve got rid of the RHQ annotations dependency, so Infinispan Core has now one less dependency thanks to the integration of RHQ annotations with our own JMX annotations.

The areas containing the most important fixes are Distributed Caches and the Hot Rod server, so if you’re a user of these features, we’d highly recommend that you give CR3 a go. Check the full release notes for detailed information on the issues fixed.

Dear Infinispan users,

This is hopefully the last CR release of the long expected infinispan 5.2 series. It contains some final touches and bug fixes, especially around the new non-blocking state transfer functionality but also a very useful enhancement to the HotRod protocol (and the Java client) which allows users to fetch the list of keys existing in the cluster - a big thanks to Ray Tsang for contributing this feature! For the complete list of features please refer to 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!

Infinispan 5.1.5.CR1 has just been released with a handful of crucial issues that we considered required another community release. If you’re a tree module user in JBoss AS7, or a an elastic Hot Rod server user,  or use XA datasources with Infinispan JDBC cache store, you should definitely upgrade to this version!

Infinispan 5.1 'Brahma' is a key component for a lot of projects both within and outside the boundaries of Red Hat, and this is reflected in all the micro releases we’ve done for 'Brahma' as Infinispan consumers near their final releases. From here I’d like to personally thank all the people behind these projects who have been crucial to the development of Infinispan. Expect a 5.1.5.FINAL in the next days which should wrap up the 'Brahma' release lifecycle barring a show-stopper! :)

As always, full details of what has been fixed can be found here, and if you have feedback, please visit our forums. Finally, as always, you can download the release from here.

Infinispan 5.1.4.CR1 is out now with minor improvements focusing on third party library upgrades such as JBoss Transactions and JGroups, and state transfer related issues, and reducing the resource consumption of testsuite.

The feedback keeps coming, particularly from AS7 users, so we’ve decided to do another point release in the 5.1 'Brahma' series. Apart from fixing several issues, including a critical L1 cache memory leak in active/passive set ups, this version enables the JBoss Marshaller class resolver to be configured via both the old and new programmatic configuration API. This enables Infinispan to provide a better solution for marshalling/unmarshalling classes in modular environments.

Based on community demand, we’ve decided to do another minor release in the Infinispan 5.1 'Brahma' series and we’ve just released Infinispan 5.1.2.CR1.

This release includes fixes in the generated documentation, schema, and by adding remote JMX monitoring options for all our demos, we’ve made it easier to consume Infinispan out of the box.

Some important library upgrades such as JGroups have also been upgraded and we’ve implemented more performance improvements, particularly around state transfer.

Finally, we’ve added a new system property (-Dinfinispan.unsafe.allow_jdk8_chm=true) which can be used to replace internal Java’s concurrent ConcurrentHashMap with the forthcoming JDK8 ConcurrentHashMapV8 which is more memory efficient than the current ConcurrentHashMap.

p.s. Work on Infinispan 5.2 has started and remember that both https://twitter.com/!/mirceamarkus[Mircea] and https://twitter.com/!/galderz[myself] are looking for your feedback on cross-datacenter replication and remote events in Hot Rod.

Thanks to everyone that downloaded Infinispan 5.1.0.FINAL 'Brahma' in the last week. We’ve had tremendous feedback from the community and as a result we’ve decided to do a minor release called 5.1.1.CR1 to address the most important issues reported. So, if you’re using 5.1.0.FINAL, I’d strongly recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible. We hope to do a FINAL release later on this week.

Please keep the feedback coming, and as always, you can download the release from here.

Magic 8, baby!  Let’s make this release candidate count.  5.0.0.CR8 is out, download it, provide feedback, we’re moving fast towards a final release on Pagoa.

A bunch of bugs fixed over and above CR7, we’d love to hear what you have to say about this release.

Cheers Manik
