Ehcache 3.3.0

Major clustering performance improvements

With this release, we are proud to announce major performance improvements for Ehcache with Terracotta clustering. Expect more information on this in the coming weeks.

For now, give it a try and let us know what you think!

And of course, quite a number of bug fixes, including all the fixes in the 3.1.4 and 3.2.0 releases that are out as of now.

Ehcache 3.2.1

First maintenance release for Ehcache 3.2

This release of Ehcache offers the following:

• Improved clustering performance,
• Many bug fixes ...

While we announced with the 3.2.x line that bug fix releases would be fully compatible with other 3.2.x releases, we found a bug that required breaking that promise in order to fix it. Since pretty much all stateful serializers were broken, including the ones packaged by the project, we decided to break that rule in order to offer a better overall feature set support in HA setups.

We still want to honour that promise with upcoming 3.2.x releases.
