Dear community,

We are proud to announce the release of Infinispan 8.2.0.Final. http://infinispan.org/download#stable and try it out!

This release is highlighted by performance improvements and multiple fixes, and it introduces some new cool features. We emphasize the following:

New algorithm for remote reads in distributed mode that reduces the network usage

From now on, the consistent hash is shared among caches with the same membership - entries in different caches using the same key will be co-located

A new lambda-enabled Cluster Executor which does not require a clustered cache, but can be constructed directly from a DefaultCacheManager.

Protostream 3.0.5, Lucene 5.5, Hibernate Search 5.6.0.Alpha2

And many tweaks and improvements overall.

Infinispan Server obviously deserves a list of its own:

Infinispan Server was gifted with a brand new event logger. Now it is possible to check the last 7 days events like caches starting/stopping, nodes join/leaving, task execution and security audits. In addition, it is based on Wildfly 10.

Admin Console improvements

Persistent login session which survives browser refresh

Deployment / undeployment of user code

Management of ProtoBuf schemas for indexing

Management of Scripts for task execution

Event viewing

Much improved cache and template configuration

Cache container configuration

PatternFly 3.2

We are now preparing the next development cycle and we will introduce new features and improvements. Stay tuned to know what is coming in Infinispan 9.0.
