Dear Infinispan community,
We're pleased to announce the
final release of Infinispan 6.0 "Infinium". As
announced, this is the
first Infinispan stable version to be released under the terms
of
Apache License v2.0.
This release brings some highly
demanded features besides many stability enhancements and bug
fixes:
-
A more efficient
FileCacheStore implementation. This file store is built
with efficiency in mind: it outperforms the existing file
store with up to 2 levels of magnitude. This comes at a cost
though, as keys need to be kept in memory. Thanks to Karsten
Blees
for contributing this!
-
Support for heterogeneous
clusters.
Up to this release, every member of the cluster owns an
equal share of the cluster’s data. This doesn’t work well if
one machine is more powerful than the other cluster
participants. This functionality allows specifying the
amount of data, compared with the average, held by a
particular machine.
-
A new set of usage and
performance statistics developed within the scope
of the CloudTM project.
-
JCache (JSR-107) implementation
upgrade. First released in Infinispan 5.3.0, the standard
caching support is now upgraded to version 1.0.0-PFD.
For a complete list of features
included in this release please refer to the release
notes.
The user documentation for this
release has been revamped and migrated to the new
website - we think it
looks much better and hope you’ll like it too!
This release has spread over a
period of 5 months: a sustained effort from the core development
team, QE team and our growing community - a BIG thanks to
everybody involved! Please visit our downloads section to find the latest release.
Also if you have any questions please check our forums, our mailing
lists or ping us
directly on IRC.
Cheers,
Adrian
