On lucky Friday the 13th, Spring 1.2 final was released.

(Thanks to Juergen for doing the packaging and his usual coding heroics).

Here's Juergen's announcement from the mailing list:

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring 1.2 final has just been released. The
major new features since 1.2 RC2 are:

The major new features since 1.2 RC2 are:
  • TopLink support (for both TopLink 9.0.4 and 10.1.3)
  • JDO 2.0 support (tested against JPOX 1.1 beta 3)
  • Hibernate 3.0.3 support (aggressive release of Connections)

The overall major new features of Spring 1.2 are:
  • finer-grained distribution jar files
  • simplified XML bean definitions
  • JMX support
  • JDK 1.5 transaction annotation
  • support for WebLogic JTA extensions
  • JDBC RowSet support
  • JCA CCI support
  • JDO2 support
  • Hibernate3 support
  • TopLink support

Thanks to Oracle for donating the original TopLink support prototype, and in particular to Jim Clark from Oracle - for all his help in getting the TopLink support into its final shape!

For details on new features, deprecations and bug fixes, please see the change log.

FYI, we have a 1.2.1 release scheduled for June, featuring minor enhancements that did not make 1.2 final. See our JIRA road map for details.

Cheers,

Juergen
