I looked through the bugs fixed listed in the doc Rob attached (for ogl) and
I don't think I saw the trnsparency issue I need fixed listed. This has
been a big show stopper for me in using J3D.
Could someone correct me if I am wrong.
The problem is that if you have, for example, one polyhedron completely
inside another,
inside yet another, inside another, etc., all partially transparent, you
don't see *any* of the embedded polyhedra. You only see the outermost
polyhedra. (If you use screendoor type transparency it works but looks
urgly.)
The only bugs w.r.t. transparency listed are
4343019 changing transparency attribute doesn't work
4355908 depth write enable mask not reset correctly after rendering
transparent objects
neither of which I think are the problem I mention above. I am I wrong?
Java 3D has never handled this correctly. And the kinds of things I want to
do depends on this working.
I also did not see listed the quaternion problem I mentioned a while ago.
Quat4d(v.x, v.y, v.z, 0.0); results in a normalized quaternion regardless of
the values for v.x, v.y, v.z. This also happens with Quat4f.
The only quaternion bug listed was
4303052 Quaternion documentation is inadequate

Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Release Data of 1.2.1 (Beta)
We are about to begin the release process for Java 3D 1.2.1,
and that has been taking about two weeks. So the Beta version
of 1.2.1 should be out by mid October.
As far as changes, mainly bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Attached are the README's for 1.2.1.
