RE: [Springframework-developer] Re: Spring Framework 1.0 M2 released

[<jue...@we...>]

FYI, a little statistics: We had 970 downloads of 1.0 M2 as of tomorrow =
morning, after just 6 days! 1.0 M1 has 2800 after 2 months. 0.9 just had =
400 till 0.9.1 came out. Great numbers, IMO!

For a comparison, WebWork 1.3 has 2300 in the 6 months since end of =
April. Of course, Hibernate 2.0.3 has 11600 after 2 months now... but =
2.0 and 2.0.1 together had "just" 2700 in the 2 months till 2.0.2 came =
out.
