Hi,

Hibernate Search 3.1 beta2 is out with a significant focus on performance improvements, scalability and API clean up.

Just came back from Nürnberg where I was invited to present Hibernate Search at the Herbstcampus conference.

Max and I will be at JavaPolis next week. I don't know what Max is doing there but I will talk about Hibernate Search and JSR-303 Bean Validation, both talks on Thursday the 13th. Speaking of JSR-303, I have done a quick interview with Mark Newton on the topic: in a nutshell, it's shaping well and we hope to have a draft out in a month or so for you to review :)
