Infinispan 9.3.0.CR1

Dear Infinispan Community,

we're glad to announce that 9.3.0.CR1 is out!

This is the first release which works with both Java 8 and Java 10. Pre-releases of Java 11 work too. Note that Infinispan still only works in classpath mode.

Highlights of this release include:

• Expanded transaction support in Hot Rod, which can now participate in Java transactions via Sync or Xa enlistment. Transaction recovery isn't supported yet.
  
• Caches can now configure the maximum number of attempts to start a CacheWriter/CacheLoader on startup before cache creation fails.
• Write-behind stores are now fault-tolerant by default
• Segmented On-Heap Data Container improves stream operation performance
• We have introduced several WildFly feature packs to make it easier for Infinispan to be utilised on WildFly instances via the Server Provisioning Plugin. The following feature packs have been created:
• infinispan-feature-pack-client: all of the modules required to connect to a hotrod server via the client
• infinispan-feature-pack-embedded: the modules required for embedded instances of Infinispan
• infinispan-feature-pack-embedded-query: the same as above but with query capabilities
• infinispan-feature-pack-wf-modules: this is equivalent to the wildfly-modules.zip
  
• 2-Level cache now works with Hibernate ORM 5.3
• The server now allows multiple protocols with a Single Port. The initial version supports HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and Hot Rod. Switching protocols can be done using TLS/ALPN and HTTP/1.1 Upgrade header.
• Admin console - improved all editors (schema, scripts, JSON data) to include syntax highlighting
• Component Upgrades: Hibernate Search 5.10 and Hibernate ORM 5.3

Numerous bug fixes which improve stability are also included (here is the full list of the solved issues).
