| Title: July2008 |
| 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. |
| |
| Jonathan Gallimore was voted in as a committer with great support. |
| Jonathan is not just a new committer to OpenEJB but to the ASF. A very |
| warm welcome to Jonathan! |
