We're in pretty good shape for a 2.0.0 release. Trunk is passing the JPA 2.0 TCK. We have the broadest/best junit results over Derby, DB2, Oracle, MySQL and MS SQL as we have for any release.
Now, we could either release a Milestone 4 release and continue to work on docs, samples, performance and the backlog issues or we could go ahead and plan on cutting a 2.0.0 branch later this week with plans to continue improving the 2.0 codebase in maintenance releases at least every quarter. If you have any critical issues that you feel need to be resolved before we release 2.0.0, please update the JIRA Fix Version to 2.0.0 and set the Priority, along with replying to this discussion thread with the details of the issues you would like considered. After a couple days of discussions, we'll revisit the open issues and decide on which route to take. Thanks, Donald
