Release Notes for ModeShape 3.0.0.CR1

The ModeShape 3.0.0.CR1 release is the first candidate release (CR) of our new architecture, and is suitable only for testing and previewing features. APIs and storage formats are not expected to change, though they may still change before the final release.

What's new

3.0.0.CR1 provides a feature complete fast, distributed, hierarchical database that clients work with via the standard JCR 2.0 (JSR-283) API. ModeShape 3.0 is a major upgrade over 2.x and offers significant improvements in performance and scalability, while retaining all of ModeShape 2's JCR-related features. ModeShape 3.0 has complete integration with JBoss AS 7.1 and 7.2, allowing deployed components to simply lookup and use repositories managed by ModeShape's service.

Overall, ModeShape 3.0 has changed a lot since ModeShape 2.8.x:

Features

All of the JCR features previously supported in 2.x are working and ready for use. If any issues are found, please log a bug report in our JIRA.

Other ModeShape features

One feature not related to the JCR 2.0 API is enabling a repository to access the content in external systems (e.g., file system, SVN, JDBC, JCR, etc.). This has been pushed to 3.1 (roughly 6 weeks after 3.0.0.Final) so that we could release 3.0 earlier with full support for JCR 2.0.
