Another beta for Infinispan

Rather than releasing a CR1 so soon, I have decided to cut another beta instead, mainly due to the sheer volume of changes since the last beta. So here is what you have to look forward to. A pile of bugs fixed thanks to reports made by you, the community. A couple of packages upgraded, including JGroups (to 2.8.0.CR2) and JBoss Marshalling (to 1.2.0.CR4). And two new modules introduced: a tech preview of the query API, and the new RESTful server module, thanks to Navin and Michael accordingly. A full list of issues addressed in this release is available on JIRA.

We're pushing hard for a series of CRs now, to solidify the codebase and make sure it exceeds expectations in performance, scalability, stability and ease of use. Your feedback has always been valuable, please keep it coming!

This release is available for download in the usual place, and the wiki should be used as your primary port-of-call for documentation. Discuss issues on the user forum, and don't forget to tweet about Infinispan! :-)

Enjoy
