1.5 was primarily a maintenance release.
1.6 is pretty much a restructure, with breakout of code into different modules, dropping all dependencies for the core and relying on Java 1.5, and changes to support major new features such as the cache server and JMS replication. There have been very few changes to the core actually.
I would stick with 1.5.
I am working on a major performance increase for systems with very large numbers of threads to cope with future expected usage. This necessarily requires a large change to the way synchronization works, so there will definitely be at least another beta release to allow testing of this change.

Hi Greg,
Grey we are looking into using ehcache as a caching solution. Currently we have been testing using version 1.6 beta 3. However, there is a concern that we should fall back to a released version i.e 1.5. Based on previous releases it appears that the 1.6 release (after beta 3) should be within the month. We are looking at starting development in March.
Do you have an anticipated release date of 1.6 ?
Is there any outstanding reason to use 1.6 over 1.5 ?
Thanks
John
