Infinispan 6.0.0.Alpha1 is out!
Dear Infinispan community,
We’re proud to announce the first Alpha release of Infinispan 6.0.0. Starting with this release, Infinispan license is moving to the terms of the Apache Software Licence version 2.0.
Besides increased stability (about 30 bug fixes) this release also brings several new features:
-
A more efficient FileCacheStore implementation (courtesy Karsten Blees)
-
A new set of usage and performance statistics developed within the scope of the CloudTM project
-
A new (experimental) marshaller for Hot Rod based on protobuf, which will be primarily used by the upcoming remote querying feature. Since this has reuse potential in other projects it was promoted to an independent project named protostream under the Infinispan umbrella
For a complete list of features and fixes included in this release please refer to the release notes.

-
The cross-site replication functionality which allows backing up data between geographically distributed clusters in order to protect against catastrophic failures
-
Rolling upgrades of the hotrod clusters (zero downtime for upgrades)
-
A handful of fixes and improvements for the Map/Reduce framework
This release has spread over a period of 8 months, with a total of 4 Alpha, 6 Beta and 3 CR releases: a sustained effort from the core development team, QA team and our growing community - a BIG thanks to everybody involved!

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!
