[Springframework-developer] Preparing for release 1.2.1

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

Everybody,

Spring 1.2.1 is essentially ready and scheduled for release this Friday.
This is almost entirely a bugfix and internal refinement release, mainly in
the following areas: constructor resolution, transaction management,
Hibernate3 support, HTML escaping. See changelog.txt for details.

One minor new feature is support for enabling Hibernate3 filters for the
scope of a specific operation, deactivating it right afterwards. This is
available as "filterNames" property on HibernateAccessor, i.e. on
HibernateTemplate and HibernateInterceptor.

Please give the current CVS contents or the current nightly snapshots a try,
in particular to test whether the Hibernate3 integration works properly in
all scenarios. The reimplemented HTML escaping was committed yesterday
evening, so won't be available before the next nightly snapshot.

Cheers,

Juergen
