Hi Marek, So are you planning to use Cayenne DI container to manage your app services outside of Cayenne? Or just to do Cayenne configuration? Note that while it is possible to use Cayenne DI as a general purpose container outside Cayenne (and the container itself is pretty nice), I would advise against it. If only because we'll never support features that are not needed for Cayenne (and that result in 90% of the code bloat in other DI containers). Having said that, you are definitely welcome to try :-)
Now the release schedule... Unfortunately it is hard to commit to a specific release timeline on a volunteer project. But we are moving ahead steadily, and here are a few points about 3.1 that hopefully will give some idea: 1. The plan with 3.1 was to release it much faster than our previous major releases. I only have 1 major new feature on my TODO list for 3.1 and I won't object if it gets pushed to 3.2 (that feature is automatic runtime merging of multiple Cayenne descriptors). 2. I am using M2 in production already. DI container is working great, and as far as I am concerned it is complete for 3.1 purposes. 3. Certain things inside Cayenne stack are still not injectable (e.g. the logger), and we are working to make them injectable. This is probably the only showstopper between now and 3.1 beta.
