DRAFT – NOT YET SUBMITTED

Development

Released the second milestone of Cayenne 3.1 (3.1M2) on March 8, 2011. 3.1 is a brand new release that features built-in DI container, singleton free runtime and a number of other productive features. Milestone 2 includes stability improvements, numerous bugfixes in the runtime and in Cayenne Modeler, new object lifecycle management features (using annotations for listeners), plus data channel filtering. Current 3.1 feature guide can be found at: http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/guide-to-31-features.html.

Web site

Highlighting unfinished items from Branding Requirements (per http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs )

Website Navigation Links: navbar links included, link to www.apache.org included
(Needs work. Consider how to rearrange navigation to avoid confusion between links which leave the Cayenne site and those which don't.)

Logos and Graphics: include TM, use consistent product logo on your site
(OK, other than 'tm' symbols)

Community

Mailing list activity is normal.
Christian Grobmeier on the developer mailing list expressed interest in writing one or more technical articles about Cayenne and was looking for suggestions as to what we felt was relevant and appropriate. We look forward to answering his questions in the future regarding this.
There was an effort to stop supporting Java 1.5 for Cayenne 3.1, but due to community feedback we have decided to continue to support Java 1.5.
