ModeShape 3.8.0.Final is now available, with almost a dozen bug fixes and a few minor features. This release depends upon Infinispan 5.2.10, and the subsystem can be installed into EAP 6.2.1.GA or EAP 6.3 Beta. See the release notes for details.
As usual, the artifacts are in the JBoss Maven repository and will soon be pushed into Maven Central. Or you can download a zip file with the libraries.
Give it a whirl and let us know on IRC or in our forums if you have any problems.

The ModeShape community is proud to announce the immediately availability of our third 4.0 pre-release, ModeShape 4.0.0.Alpha3. The JARs and other artifacts are available in the JBoss Maven repository and in our downloads area, and will be soon in Maven Central. See our Getting Started guide for details.
Thanks to our whole community for the work that’s gone into this release!
This alpha release contains a number of fixes on top of the fixes and features in the previous alpha releases. We’re still working on the query index functionality, so very little has changed there. The biggest new feature in Alpha3 is that the event system uses our new ring buffer that is substantially faster.
Alpha3 also includes changes that were in Alpha1 and Alpha2, including simpler clustering. ModeShape now automatically piggybacks on the Infinispan clustering configuration, and nothing clustering-specific is needed in the ModeShape configuration. We’re also improving how ModeShape logs events so that it’s far easier and less time-consuming to have processes (re)join the cluster.
As with Alpha3, Alpha2 and Alpha1 all use Infinispan 6.0, and that comes with improved performance and several very attractive cache stores, especially the one for LevelDB. And ModeShape 4.0.0.Alpha3 can deploy on Wildfly 8.0, making it very easy for your applications to simply look up and use repositories that managed using Wildfly tooling and configuration.
We plan to continue issuing more alpha releases about every 3 weeks until we’ve completed all features, at which point we’ll start issuing beta releases that fix any issues that will come up. When the codebase is stable and ready for a release, we’ll start issuing candidate releases and ultimately a final release.
So our next step is to add index providers for the file system and Lucene, and to then start putting the whole new query system through its paces. If anyone is interested in helping us with index providers for Solr and ElasticSearch, please let us know; without some contributions they will likely be available in 4.1.
Although this is an alpha release not suitable for production, we’d really appreciate the community picking up this release and at least putting it through the basics. Try it out and see how Infinispan 6 works, how much faster it is, and try one of the new and high-performance cache stores. Try out ModeShape in Wildfly 8. Give queries a whirl, and let us know if there are any queries that worked in 3.x no longer work in 4.x; remember they’ll probably be slower than in 3.x because we don’t have any indexes yet.

Now available is ModeShape 3.7.3.Final, which contains a fix for an issue with resolving file-based URLs to configurations. If you’re using any version of 3.x, we recommend that you upgrade to, test with, and start using 3.7.3.Final.
