Re: [Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 1.0 M4 released

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

Everybody,
=20
Please report all issues with the M4 release promptly. M4 represents a =
preliminary feature freeze: The only remaining functional feature for =
RC1 is adding CLOB support to LobHandler, analogous to the existing BLOB =
support. I'll implement this myself this week, probably including a =
simple 2-screen "image database" sample app that demonstrates multipart =
HTTP request handling and BLOB/CLOB handling across multiple databases.
=20
Please also report documentation inconsistencies, sample app flaws, =
building issues, etc. We've already noticed that xjavadoc.jar from =
XDoclet is missing from the M4 distribution: That JAR is needed in Ant's =
lib directory for building the attributes version of JPetStore or the =
framework itself, as noted in the corresponding build scripts. For the =
time being, fetch it from our CVS (spring/lib/xdoclet) or from the =
XDoclet project itself.
=20
The single most important goal is documentation now: We're happy for any =
contributions in this area. Alef, what's your timeframe for the =
reference documentation? Do you need additional assistance? I expect to =
have all framework issues resolved by end of next week: The state of the =
docs will then determine the release schedule. I'd like to release RC1 =
in January by any means, provided that there aren't any show-stoppers - =
even with docs in beta state.

Betreff: [Springframework-developer] Spring Framework 1.0 M4 released



Hello everybody,

Spring Framework 1.0 M4 has just been released. Due to the introduction =
of significant new features, we have decided to release another =
milestone. Finally, the next release will be 1.0 RC1.

Beginning with this release, we offer two distributions for download:
- spring-framework-1.0-m4.zip
- spring-framework-1.0-m4-with-dependencies.zip

Both distributions contain all sources, tests, samples, build scripts, =
and docs. The difference is that "-with-dependencies" contains all third =
party libraries necessary for building the samples and the framework =
itself. Of course, the distributions still contain pre-built JAR files.

The most important new features are:
- an abstraction of file-based resources, to replace String location =
properties with Resource properties
- factored-out Xml/Properties/Jdbc-BeanDefinitionReaders, working on =
DefaultListableBeanFactory
- support for CGLIB2 in the AOP framework (replacing CGLIB1)
- support for source-level metadata driving AOP, with a default =
implementation for Commons Attributes
- reworked transaction synchronization that also affects =
PROPAGATION_SUPPORTS
- new NativeJdbcExtractor and LobHandler mechanisms in the JDBC support
- support for iBATIS Database Layer, similar to the existing support for =
Hibernate and JDO
- refined remoting support for Hessian/Burlap/RMI and EJB
- support for JAX-RPC, similar to the existing support for Hessian, =
Burlap, and RMI
- our version of the iBATIS JPetStore, with ibatis-db for data access =
and alternative Spring/Struts web tiers

There are also a couple of new features regarding Hibernate support:
- support for Hibernate 2.1 (still compatible with Hibernate 2.0 as far =
as possible)
- new OpenSessionInViewInterceptor and OpenSessionInViewFilter
- JtaTransactionManager will now properly use ThreadLocal Sessions even =
with EJB CMT

As always, see the changelog for details.

Regards,
Juergen
