At the bottom of http://cwiki.apache.org/CAY/ is "Making Sense of Release Numbers". 2.0 is supposed to track 1.2 and be a stable release, but with the apache namespace instead of the objectstyle namespace. 1.2/2.0 will continue to have bug fixes incorporated in them, so they aren't really dead. 3.0 is where the new development is occurring. When 2.0.x is released (there are a few CLA issues slowing it down), I'd suggest using it if you won't be caused too much heartburn by the package name changes. However, there is no real reason to switch to 2.0 if you already have an investment in 1.2 and are happy with it. Did that help?

Will that be a requirement of Cayenne 3.0? To be honest I'm a little confused about the relationships between 1.2.x, 2.0 and 3.0. Is there a feature list/road map which defines what 3.0 will look like and what it will be striving to achieve? Will there be 2.0.1, 2.0.2, etc to match each of 1.2.1, 1.2.2, etc but with the changed package names? Or is 2.0 a dead branch now? Since the pain of moving from 1.2 to 2.0 should be trivial for most people, is it worth abandoning 1.2.x completely and having just one stable branch?
