0.3 of JSR107:javax.cache released

0.3 of the JSR107 spec, RI and TCK have been released.

Changes in this release:

  • Numerous changes across the spec, TCK and RI
  • Annotations implementations in the RI for Spring and CDI
  • Transactions API finalized
The release is in Maven central so the snippet for the API is:
javax.cache
cache-api
0.3
