This is a bug fix release. There were two show stopper bugs in the previous release (Mule 0.9.2). The first causes an NPE in the Spring event extensions when a event originates from a Spring bean. The second can cause multiple events to be received by the same component when running asynchronously and overriding the default Mule event handling.
