Dear Infinispan community,<br>
<br>
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 <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache
Software Licence version 2.0</a>.<br>
<br>
Besides increased stability (about 30 bug fixes) this release also
brings several new features:A more efficient FileCacheStore
implementation (courtesy Karsten Blees)<br>
<ul>
<li>A new set of usage and performance statistics developed within
the scope of the CloudTM project</li>
<li>A new (experimental) marshaller for Hot Rod based on
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/">protobuf</a>, 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 <a
href="https://github.com/infinispan/protostream"><i>protostream</i></a>
under the Infinispan umbrella<br>
</li>
</ul>
