Looks good to me.
Are there any concerns regarding the use of JDBC 4.2 at this time that
should be stated?
Hi Myrna,
I don't think so. When Java 8 goes GA and people install it, they will
want to study the Java 8 release notes for information about what's in
JDBC 4.2. As far as I know, the Derby implementation is faithful to the
JDBC 4.2 spec, so there are no discrepancies to document.
Thanks,

announcement I plan to send later this morning:
----------------------
The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release
10.10.1.1.
Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a
pure Java relational database engine which conforms to the
ISO/ANSI SQL and JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for
developers and end-users to work with.
Derby 10.10.1.1 can be obtained from the Derby download site:
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.
Derby 10.10.1.1 contains the following new features:
* JDBC 4.2 - Derby supports the Java 8 enhancements to JDBC.
* Small device profile - Derby runs on the small CP2 profile
of Java 8. See the corresponding JEP at
http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/161
* User-defined aggregates - Applications can create their own
aggregate operators. See the "CREATE DERBY AGGREGATE" section in
the Derby Reference Manual.
* Varargs routines - SQL routines can be bound to user-written
Java methods which have variable length argument lists.
* Optional tools - Derby has new, optional tools to support
data migration and metadata queries. See the "Optional tools"
section in the Derby Tools and Utilities Guide.
* SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_INVALIDATE_STORED_STATEMENTS - Derby has a
new system procedure for invalidating stored prepared statements
when you think that your metadata queries or triggers are
misbehaving--for example if they throw a NoSuchMethodError on
execution. See the section on this new system procedure in the
Derby Reference Manual.
* Faster query compilation - A number of changes have made SQL
compilation faster.
* Unencrypting databases - Encryption can be turned off on
existing databases. See the section on the decryptDatabase
attribute in the Derby Reference Manual.
In addition, Derby 10.10.1.1 contains many bug, security, and
documentation fixes.
Please try out this new release.
