Release Notes

(4th August 2003 - by Chris Miller)

New Features:

• Now supports JavaGroups version 2.1.
• JMS Clustering support has been added -Romulus Pasca.
• Clustering code has been refactored. As a result of this, some of the clustering configuration has changed since beta 1 - please see the updated clustering documentation for details.
• Performance enhancement: When running under JRE 1.3.x, the LRUCache will now attempt to use the Jakarta commons collections SequencedHashMap. If the commons-collections.jar is not present then the code resorts to using a LinkedList and a warning is logged. Note that under JRE 1.4.x and higher the commons-collections.jar is not required.
• Config.getProperties() method added.

Bug Fixes:

• CACHE-48 FastCronParser no longer requires JDK 1.4.x.
• CACHE-45 Fixed a serialization bug.
• The CachewideEvent was not holding the event date.
• Prevented an error from being logged in the CachewideEvent handling (even though no problem had occurred).
• Fixed a subtle bug in the concurrent unit test.
• The ServletCacheAdministrator's app scope cache is created on startup (via the CacheContextListener).
