11 January 2010: ehcache-1.8, ehcache-core-1.7.2 and ehcache-terracotta-1.8

This is a final GA release of ehcache comprising ehcache, ehcache-core and ehcache-terracotta modules.

This release contains some bug fixes to ehcache-core, but the notable change is the upgrade of the ehcache-terracotta module to support Terracotta 3.2. Terracotta 3.2 is dramatically faster than 3.1. See the changelog for complete details of ehcache-core changes.

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.
