The ModeShape team is happy to announce the first beta release for ModeShape 2.6. The release artifacts are available in the JBoss Maven repository (see our Maven instructions) and on our downloads page. We’ve updated our Reference Guide, Getting Started Guide, and JavaDoc.
This release includes a number of new features, improvements, and bug fixes:
- kits for JBoss Application Server 5.x and 6.x
- improved overall performance
- new disk-based storage connector
- added cache support in several connectors
- pluggable authentication and authorization
- the JPA connector now support configuring/using Hibernate 2nd-level cache
- improved BINARY property support for large files
- automatically use the JDK logger if SLF4J binding is not available
- upgraded to Infinispan 4.2.1.Final
- faster startup of the ModeShape engine
- over a dozen bug fixes
Give ModeShape 2.6.0.Beta1 a try, and let us know if you have any problems. But don’t wait too long, because we’ve already started work on Beta2 and hope to release that in a few weeks.
Once again, the ModeShape community has done a great job. Thanks to you all!
