| The OpenEJB 3.0 Final release in mid April brought some good attention to the project and more new users. |
| User list traffic showed a small increase in April and May and a sharp spike in June. |
| July looks to be a slow month so far. |
| Many users are content and anxiously awaiting the next release. |
| |
| Planning for the next release has begun. |
| The list of fixes and improvements is growing very large. |
| If all goes well 3.1 it won't be too much longer before we start spinning binaries for 3.1. |
| Major new features will include more EJB 3.1 support, jaxb performance increases through the SXC project, network performance increases in client/server communication, cmp and jpa conversion improvements, tomcat console improvements, and fixes in the jdbc connection pooling. |
