Well, for really obvious reasons, i'm not committing to any kind of dates
for new features. However....

I want to get a bugfree, well-documented 1.1 out the door as the highest
priority. I still think this is very close but two more issues came up last
night (along with a couple of bad bugs I fixed). As usual with these
things, it will be finished when its finished.

I am then going to take a week or so away from actual development to have a
life for a bit - though I may put in a bit of work on design documentation
in ArgoUML.

My original plan was to then sit down and start building a really good
example application using Hibernate and WebWork but I realise that people
are crying out for this new feature, so I might put that (the example app)
off until later.

Then "normalized mappings" is the first thing I will be looking at. (And
the only new feature I plan for 1.2)

So I suppose in about a month we might be seeing some working versions of
1.2. But thats not a promise, understand.

If I could spend all my time just developing new features then I would, but
there are other equally important things that suck up a lot of time
(documentation, answering questions in the user forum, performance testing,
etc).
