+<h3>iBATIS 2.3.2 Promoted to General Availability</h3>
+<p>(Jun 30, 2008) The latest version of iBATIS has been promoted to GA. This
latest version requires Java 5. While it wasn't planned that way originally,
we decided to take the plunge
+and start to "encourage" our users to upgrade their platforms (or at least
become one more reason to do so). Sun will be discontinuing support for JDK
1.4 in about four months and
+most of the world has already moved to Java 5. This also allows us to include
built-in support for enumerations and will better prepare you for iBATIS 3 when
the time comes. </p>
+<p><b><a href="javadownloads.cgi">Get the 2.3.2 GA from the Java downloads
page now!</a></b></p>
+
+<h3>iBATIS 2.3.2 Beta and German Docs</h3>
+<p>(Apr 22, 2008) I've released a small update which corrects a few logistical
issues with the 2.3.1 deploy. It's a very minor release, but this will be the
next GA version if all goes well. Thus 2.3.1 will never be GA, so get this
one. In addition to that, <b>Axel Leucht</b> has contributed documentation in
German. So now all of my co-workers at Arvato can read about iBATIS too! ;-)
Thanks Axel.
+
+<h3>Abator Renamed to iBATOR</h3>
+<p>(April 14, 2008) Due to a trade registration dispute, Abator is renamed to
iBATOR. iBATOR is
+ currently a work in progress, but an initial code drop has been added to
SVN. See the
+ <a href="ibator.html">new iBATOR page</a> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<h3>iBATIS 2.3.1 Beta Available</h3>
+<p>(March 25, 2008) This is a long overdue maintenance release. Fixes about
20 issues and includes two significant improvements. The first is the
elimination of the Throttle. Originally included to artificially constrain
threads, requests, and transactions to improve performance on certain
infrastructure. It's not as much of an issue anymore and today the Throttle
caused more problems than it solved. So bye-bye. :-) The only real impact
you'll see is that the maxSessions/maxTransactions/maxRequests no longer have
any effect whatsoever. The other new change is built-in support for enums out
of the box! It's currently a Beta release as per our process. But if all goes
well over the next week or two, we'll vote to promote it to GA. The best thing
you can do is test it out for us!
+
+<h3>Abator 1.1 Available</h3>
+<p>(March 20, 2008) Abator version 1.1 is available. This version has quite a
few minor enhancements,
+ two major enhancements (two new methods can be generated), and a few bug
fixes. Check it out
+ <a href="abator.html">here</a>.
+
+<h3>It's quiet, too quiet!</h3>
+ <p>(March 10, 2008) Yes, we're alive. I felt the need to update the homepage
since it's been a while(!). All of the activity is on the mailing list these
days,
+ and we haven't had a major release in a while. That's all about to change.
The iBATIS 3.0 whiteboard has been up for a while and I think the ideas are
sound. We've had a lot
+ of great feedback and it's time to get to work. iBATIS will have it's sixth
birthday on July 1st, 2008. I'd like to suggest that we have a Beta
+ version of iBATIS 3.0 out by that day. Don't get too excited! If you're
currently using 2.0, you likely will be for a long time (heck, Larry still uses
1.x). So, we'll
+ continue to support it for a long time as well. iBATIS 3.0 will be the
biggest change to the framework since the original concept. While we're hoping
to hold
+ true to some of the philosophies that have made iBATIS popular, it will look
very different. Check out the iBATIS 3.0 whiteboard for more.</p>

+
+<h3>iBATIS 3.0 Design Whiteboard</h3>
+ <p>(June 12, 2007) Next month, on July 1st iBATIS will officially be 5 years
old, and 2.0 alone
+ will be 3 years long in the tooth. It's time, or perhaps overdue that we
start designing and
+ implementing the third version. A lot has changed in 5 years, many best
practices are now simply
+ "old practices". It's time to start from scratch. Clinton's thoughts are
up. This is your chance to
+ influence the future direction of iBATIS.</p>

+<h3>Java Documentation in 7 languages including Japanese</h3>
+ <p>(June 12, 2007) Thanks to the contributions from our iBATIS community, we
now have
+ documentation in 7 languages! The most recent addition is Japanese, which
joins Chinese,
+ Korean, Italian, Spanish, French and English.</p>

<h3>iBATIS.NET DataMapper 1.6.1 and DataAccess 1.9.1 General
Availability!</h3>
<p>(April 6, 2007) The votes are in and both distributions are now tagged as
GA!</p>
<p>This release includes primarily several bug fixes and enhancements,
documentation have been updated.</p>

+<h3>Call for Official QA/Testing Team Members</h3>
+<p>(Jul 16, 2008) It seems that we have two very distinct types of teams using
iBATIS:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Adventurous bleeding edge types</li>
+ <li>Conservative stable types</li>
+</ul>
+<p>It's hard to cater to both groups, so we've come up with a way that these
groups can help each other. We've now provided access to
+a <b>Parabuild continuous build server</b>. The software and hosting is
graciously provided by <b>Viewtier Systems</b>. This will
+allow the bleeding edge types to simply download the latest and greatest
software, without waiting for a formal release by us.</p>
+
+<p><b>In addition, we'd like to invite some of these teams or individuals to
become a formal QA/Testing group for iBATIS.</b></p>
+
+<p>This doesn't have to mean a lot of work! The best candidates are teams with
excellent test suites for their applications and those who use a lot of the
different features
+of iBATIS in different or even odd ways. We especially want to target groups
who are using <b>Spring</b> or other 3rd party software that integrates
+or works closely with iBATIS. Alone we cannot test every single deployment,
but together we can. This will allow us to learn about potential
+integration problems sooner and allow us to get to General Availability status
faster.
+</p>
+<p>The continuous integration link and instructions can be found on the <a
href="javadownloads.cgi">Java Downloads</a> page.</p>
+<p><b>If you'd like to register yourself or your team as a formal tester</b>,
please send an email to the mailing list. Or to Clinton Begin if you'd
+like to remain anonymous (you should know my email if you're on the list). Of
course I recommend you keep it wide open and identify yourselves both for
+credit and so that you can share knowledge with other testers or teams</p>
+<p>Thanks to all!</p>
