I have nothing additional.

I'll be adding functionality to the JDBC package.  Returning resultset from a
stored procedure is the main addition.  This should all be additional
functionality and not break the existing API.

Once 0.9.1 is out (any day now AFAIK), I would suggest a 4-6 weeks "beta"
testing period.  I'm hoping to use parts of the framework in new projects the
next couple of months.  Tha would put the 1.0 release somewhere in September.

100% agreement - I'm pretty much in the same boat.  If we keep the API stable I
can start using it on new development.
