We gave a lot of notice, warning and time to react. There's sections of the website dedicated to old releases.
You are possibly the one person who disagrees, whereas there were hundreds who were asking for certain levels of support for generics and enums. It has been our policy for years to support current versions of the jdk, which usually means Current and Current - 1. If sun gets 2 JDK releases out in the lifetime of iBATIS 3, we'll likely drop support for up to 2 JDK versions (depending on their eol policy). If you've now sent two emails just because of our version numbering approach, please consider the point taken. However somehow I can't believe you'd be any happier if it was called 2.4, as practically speaking you'd be in the exact same position, minus two characters. Clinton On 2009-08-17, Trenton D.
