[infinispan-dev] Infinispan 7.0.0.Alpha1

[Dan Berindei]

Dear Infinispan community,

We're proud to announce the first Alpha release of Infinispan 7.0.0.

This release adds several new features:

   - Support for clustered listeners. One of the limitation of Infinispan's
   distributed mode used to be that listeners could only receive events for
   cache modifications on their own node. That's no longer the case, and it
   paves the way for a long-requested feature: HotRod listeners.


   - Map/Reduce tasks can now execute the mapper/combiner/reducer on
   multiple threads<http://blog.infinispan.org/2014/02/mapreduce-parallel-execution.html>.
   Stay tuned for more Map/Reduce improvements in the near future.


   - The first essential component of cache security has been added, which
   will be the building block for remote protocol authentication and
   authorization.


   - Improved OSGi support in the HotRod Java client. The core components
   are also getting into shape for OSGi, expect more on this front in the next
   release.


As you can see, many of the new features are stepping stones for bigger
things yet to come. Feel free to join us and shape the future releases on
our forums <http://www.jboss.org/infinispan/forums>, our mailing
