Dear Spring community,
I'm pleased to announce that Spring 2.0 RC4 has been released. This is the
last release candidate before Spring 2.0 final.
This release introduces versioned file names for the 2.0 DTD/XSDs. Please
adapt your bean definition files if they build on the 2.0 XSDs on or
2.0-specific DTD features! Of course, the Spring 1.2 DTD is still fully
supported under its established DTD file name.
Furthermore, Apache OJB support (org.springframework.orm.ojb) is no longer
shipped with the core Spring distribution anymore as of this release. It is
now available from the Spring Modules project.
Spring's JPA support is now fully tested against Oracle TopLink Essentials
v2 b16 as well as Hibernate EntityManager 3.2.0 CR2. Our extensive
integration test suite fully passes for both of those JPA providers now. We
are currently in the process of covering OpenJPA in the same fashion.
As always, there are many further bug fixes and refinements in various
areas, as well as minor new features (for example in the JMS support).
Please see the changelog and/or our JIRA issue list for details.
Spring 2.0 GA is now - finally - just around the corner :-)
Cheers,
Juergen
