Re: [Springframework-developer] Road map for Spring 1.2.6 and 1.3 RC1

[<ro...@in...>]

I'm back at work tomorrow so I'll be able to close my 1.2.6 issues then
and on the train Wednesday. I'll take a browse through the rest and clean
up any as I can. I think Rick has some doc issues he wants to fix so I'll
see about him spending some time on that this week.
