One alternative that Rickard and I discussed was to release 1.0 this week. The main issue for NOT doing so, is that there are problems in Nested Unit of Work, so either we fix it or remove the feature in 1.0 and re-introduce it 1.1. Since we wanted to create a bit of media attention to a 1.0 release, via the Oredev conference this week, and have been told by the organizer that they can't help us set that up, the urgency for a 1.0 release now kind of went away. So, I would like to do; 1. Make a 1.0-RC3 release now, to ensure that releases via Sonatype Nexus is in order. 2. Fix NestedUnitOfWork. 3. Release 1.0 as soon as that has been done. But there is no final decision on this at all, and feedback is welcome. > - Do you plan do extend the documentation in the near future? :-) "Plan" is a good word. Yes. Whether it actually happens, it depends on many factors. a. Feedback from people like yourself on what is missing and most wanted. b. Whether I have free cycles (looking so-so) c. How to distribute free cycles between coding and docs... d. Someone more than me steps up and assists (not likely). e.

I think it is at the moment hosted on a private system, but that friendly requests to get a copy or access will be entertained. StreamFlow is by now deployed in a live system, and has gone through a "bug-fixing release" as well. > - Do you know of any other production systems being built with Qi4j?
