Guys, Ben and I are thinking of cutting a DR before the alpha. Known bugs include the one about marshalling large Strings (waiting for jboss-serialization-1.0.3 to be released) and StateTransferUnderLoad. Other issues include timing/concurrency issues with BR which show up on the multi-cpu lab servers and notifications around the move() API which I hope to sort out by the weekend, and some of Ben's PojoCache tests. The rest of the functionality is all in place though and I'd like to test this DR with AS HEAD and Hibernate (speaking with Steve E about this). Ben's going to release the DR over the weekend (I'll be off to Berlin on a clustering training) and hopefully we can look at an Alpha when I get back. FYI, refer to unit tests in org.jboss.cache.api for examples of using the new API and SPI. I'll update docs and tutorial with these before cutting the alpha.
