Infinispan 9.2.0.Alpha2 & 9.1.2.Final released
Dear Infinispan Community,
We have 2 new releases ready for everyone. We have our newest and greatest, 9.2.0.Alpha2 and an updated Final for our stable branch 9.1.2. As usual, both can be found on our download page.
9.2.0.Alpha2 contain the following new features
-
New Counters can be removed ISPN-8093
-
Interoperability between JSON and Protobuf, allowing to retrieve Protobuf content (written via Hot Rod) as JSON via Rest; also JSON documents written via Rest can be automatically converted to Protobuf and indexed. ISPN-7422
-
Wildcard cache configurations allowing for multiple caches from 1 config ISPN-8379
-
Reactive streams based iterator implementation providing better throughput and less resources usage ISPN-7865
-
An experimental evalAll like method on the LockedStream interface allowing for exclusive operation on entries and a return value ISPN-8310
9.1.2.Final and 9.2.0.Alpha both added
-
Updates to third party JGroups, Hibernate and Hibernate Search
-
Off heap improvements and fixes for Query & Encoding
Besides these there were also quite a few bug fixes and code clean ups. Full details of the new features and enhancements included in this release can be found here and here.
We have even more exciting features still coming up for Infinispan 9.2. Thank you for following us and stay tuned!

Infinispan 9.2.0.Alpha1 released
Dear Infinispan Community,
Today we continue with our time-boxed releases, this time on 9.2 release branch! We prepared The Infinispan 9.2.0.Alpha1 for you. As usual, it can be found on our download page.
9.2.0.Alpha1 brings Infinispan MultimapCache - a new distributed and clustered collection type that maps keys to values in which each key can contain multiple values. We rolled out support for embedded cache mode, but upcoming releases will have support for other Infinispan modes, including client invocation through hotrod.
Aside from MultimapCache we also include the usual slew of bug fixes, clean ups, and general improvements. Full details of the new features and enhancements included in this release can be found here.
We have a lot more exciting features coming up on Infinispan 9.2 branch. Thank you for following us and stay tuned!

Infinispan 9.1.1.Final is out
Dear Infinispan users,
after 9.1.0.Final we decided to go on a bug-squashing spree before embarking on the feature work that will be part of 9.2.
So, fresh out of the build baking machine is 9.1.1.Final. You can peruse the list of fixed bugs and you can get the bits from our download page.
Enjoy !

Infinispan 9.1 "Bastille"
Dear Infinispan users,
after 3½ months, we are proud to present to you our latest stable release, Infinispan 9.1, codenamed "https://revbrew.com/beer/archive/bastille[Bastille]".
While minor releases are traditionally evolutionary instead of revolutionary, this release still comes loaded with a number of great features:
Scattered cache
A new clustered cache, similar to a distributed cache, but with a higher write throughput.
Consistency Checker, Conflict Resolution and Automatic merge policies
An overhaul to partition handling which allows much finer control about whether to allow reads and writes in split clusters and how data is reconciled when partitions are merged.
Clustered Counters
An implementation of clustered counters with both strong and weak semantics, threshold events, optional persistence and bounding. Currently these are only available in embedded mode, but they will be usable over Hot Rod in Infinispan 9.2.
Locked Streams
Locked streams allow you to run your stream processing operations knowing that another update cannot be performed while the Consumer is executed on an entry. Note this only works in non transactional and pessimistic transactional caches (optimistic transactional caches are not supported).
API improvements
The compute(), computeIfPresent() and computeIfAbsent() methods on the Cache interface are now implemented as proper distributed operations so that they run local to the entries. The DeltaAware interface for supporting granular clustered operations has been deprecated in favour of functional commands.
Persistence improvements
The CacheStore SPI now supports write batching. The JDBC, JPA, RocksDB, Remote and File stores have been modified to take advantage of this. You should see great benefits when using write-behind or when using putAll operations.
Remote query with JBoss Marshalling
Remote query now also works with Java entities annotated with Hibernate Search annotations and JBoss Marshalling without requiring ProtoBuf.
HTTP/2 and ALPN support on the REST endpoint
The REST endpoint has been completely rewritten so that it now supports both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 as well as ALPN (even on Java 8). The new endpoint is also 30% faster during reads and 6% faster during writes.
Hot Rod Java client improvements
The Java Hot Rod client now has proper entrySet(), keySet() and values() implementations which iterate over the remote data instead of pulling it all locally. It is now also finally possible to create and remove caches directly from the client.
Server Administration console improvements
The console has received a number of updates for usability and consistency. It is also finally possible to configure and manage the remote endpoints.
Bug fixes
We have also dropped the guillotine on a large number of bugs.
If all goes well, we plan to release Infinispan 9.2 at the end of October, with lots of great updates.
So, head over to our download page, consult the upgrading guide and let us know about how you use Infinispan.
Cheers !
The Infinispan team
