= Support for multiple instances of a social broker in a realm It is now possible to have multiple instances of the same social broker in a realm. Most of the time a realm does not need multiple instances of the same social broker. But due to the introduction of the `organization` feature, it should be possible to link different instances of the same social broker to different organizations. When creating a social broker, you should now provide an `Alias` and optionally a `Display name` just like any other broker. = Removal of OSGi metadata Since all of the Java adapters that used OSGi metadata have been removed we have stopped generating OSGi metadata for our jars. = Infinispan marshalling changes to Infinispan Protostream Marshalling is the process of converting Java objects into bytes to send them across the network between {project_name} servers. With {project_name} 26, we changed the marshalling format from JBoss Marshalling to Infinispan Protostream. WARNING: JBoss Marshalling and Infinispan Protostream are not compatible with each other and incorrect usage may lead to data loss. Consequently, all caches are cleared when upgrading to this version. Infinispan Protostream is based on https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/proto3/[Protocol Buffers] (proto 3), which has the advantage of backwards/forwards compatibility.
