Why the version number jump? Well...

-First cut at Hierarchical BeanFactory support
Kurt has done an awesome job implementing this… basically the way it
works, you can pass a "parent" BeanFactory into another, allowing your
child BeanFactory to resolve dependencies that exist only in the
parent. You can define beans in the child BeanFactory to override
beans in the parent as well. Included with this is an update to the
Mach-II plugin that allows you to specify the parent BeanFactory name
as a parameter to the plugin, so basically you can have Mach-II
"subapps" who have their own factories (which themselves inherit beans
from a parent app). Similar development for ModelGlue is underway, but
I don't know if it will make It into the release

-First cut at java: and webservice: syntax for the <bean/>'s class=""
attribute. This will also you to wire webservices and java classes
into your CFCs (with some limitations).

-Remoting helper classes by Kurt (to do mapping of CFC types to AS types)

-ModelGlue controller autowiring by Sean

-Mach-II controller (listener/filter/plugin) autowiring

-Numerous core BeanFactory fixes and upgrades

-Numerous AOP fixes and upgrades

Also planned:

factory-bean and factory-method attribute support (these are mentioned
in the reference docs if you're wondering what they do).

AfterThrowing advice (allowing you to intercept exceptions at will)

enhanced exceptions during bean creation.

That's all off the top of my head... the expected date for this
release is November 15th.
