-
Various enhancements for the distributed executor framework (ISPN-2287, ISPN-2286, ISPN-1513)
-
A new, faster, more efficient and elegant implementation of the AsyncCacheStore - big thanks to Karsten Blees for contributing it!

Infinispan 5.2.0.Alpha3 is out!
There are releases and releases. And this one is a big one, containing a bran new state transfer functionality. Designed and implemented by Dan Berindei and Adrian Nistor, the new Non Blocking State Transfer (NBST) has the following goals:
-
Minimize the interval(s) where the entire cluster can’t respond to requests because of a state transfer in progress.
-
Minimize the interval(s) where an existing member stops responding to requests because of a state transfer in progress.
-
Allow the performance of the cluster to drop during state transfer, but it should not throw any exception
Curious to see the magic behind it? This document is here to explain you NBST’s internal.
Besides NBST this release brings some other goodies:
-
A new IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES flag to help reduce the number of RPC calls and increasing performance (to be discussed at large by Galder Zamarreño in a following blog post)
-
A revamped and much nicer configuration for submodules such as cache loaders. More about it in Tristan Tarrant’s blog
-
for a complete list of the fixes/enhancements refer to JIRA
Another new thing this release brings is a change in versioning: we’ve aligned to JBoss' release versioning pattern. So the name is now Alpha3 vs ALPHA3(as per the old naming pattern). More about the reason for doing that in this blog post.
The complete list of issues/improvements addressed in this release is available in JIRA. As always, please give it a try and let us know what you think on the forums, irc or mailing lists!
Cheers,
Mircea

Infinispan 5.2.0.ALPHA2 was released last Friday with several additions for those that like to test Infinispan’s bleeding edge capabilities. In this case, it’s out Map/Reduce functionality that’s the star of the show:
Vladimir Blagojevic, one of our Infinispan developers, will be explaining all about these features in a blog post coming right up, so stay tuned! :)
Finally Adrian Nistor, the latest addition to the Infinispan team, has been working on reducing the size of our distribution files by avoiding duplication of jars.

One more micro release, Infinispan 5.1.5.CR1 out now!
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.
Cheers,
Galder
