In the two short months since M4 we already have a number of shiny new things in Cayenne:
* New ObjectSelect API (selecting individual columns, functions, GROUP BY/HAVING), which is easily one of the major features of 4.0 as a whole. * JCache integration. * Auto-loading DI modules. Plus as many of the breaking changes as possible got pushed, such as Maven plugin renaming. Would be nice to get some feedback from early adopters on those until the Beta API freeze. So I suggest we start the M5 vote shortly. Nikita still wanted to clean up a few things in the new code. Once he's ready, hopefully in about a week, we can do the assembly and start the vote. And of course it would be great if we could maintain a similar pace going forward, which will depend both on development progress and PMC members availability to review the releases. Will see...
