I just went to jbase.com/news and it doesn't have an announcement of jbase 
5.6.3. There's an announcement for 5.6.2 from July though. I was able to 
find the release notes for 5.6.3 though and it looks like there's a lot of 
compatibility features for D3 in that release. Has 5.6.3 been officially 
released?
