Overview

   These notes describe the difference between OpenJPA release 1.0.0 and the
   preceding releases, 0.9.6 and 0.9.7. 1.0.0 is the first major release
   since OpenJPA graduated to an Apache top level project (TLP), and contains
   many new features and bugfixes.

   OpenJPA is a feature-rich implementation of the persistence part of Java
   Community Process JSR-220 (Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0), which is known as
   the Java Persistence API (JPA). OpenJPA can be used as a stand-alone POJO
   persistence layer, or it can be integrated into any EJB3.0 compliant
   container and many lightweight frameworks. This release of OpenJPA is 100%
   compliant with the JPA specification.
