This is a final GA release of ehcache-1.7.1 comprising ehcache, ehcache-core and ehcache-terracotta modules.
This release contains 15 fixes and improvements over 1.7.0. See the changelog for complete details. Downloads and Maven modules are available here.
Very significantly, this release will enable new GA releases of the other ehcache modules, such as ehcache-web, which we expect to release over the next few weeks.
Note: If you experience different caching ergonomics you can enable the LinkedHashMap based engine with java -Dnet.sf.ehcache.use.classic.lru=true. This is the engine enabled up to 1.5.
