[jgroups-dev] JGroups 2.11.0.Alpha1 released

FYI,

I've uploaded 2.11.0.Alpha1 to SourceForge, you can download it from [1].

Some of the issues resolved are:

    * Separate flow control protocols for multicast and unicast messages
      (MFC / UFC). This allows a user to enable or disable flow control
      individually for multicast or unicast messages. I also reduced
      locking, so there is less contention for locks.
      JIRA=https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1154
    * FC: reduced locking here as well
    * DAISYCHAIN [3,4]: new protocol for high throughput message
      dissemination in a TCP based cluster
    * Additional AUTH authorization mechanism based on pattern matching [5]
    * PING: restrict number of responses (important for large clusters)
    * S3_PING: ability to access public buckets [7]. Addition of
      presigned URLs [8]. These 2 new features are important, because
      they allow for example a JBoss instance to be started on EC2
      without having to pass the access key and secret key to the
      starting instance. Thanks to Ben Browning for the suggestion to
      [7] and the implementation of [8] !
    * New timer implementations [9].
