There are no functional changes between CR1 and this Final release. Some minor issues in the @Min, @Max and @EmailValidator got fixed (HV-335, HV-339) as well as some documentation typos. We also spend some time improving the parsing and validation speed by reviewing and improving some reflection based code (HV-340, HV-341, HV-342). Review the full release notes for details.

We'll be using Weld as the reference when we want to get into implementation details but the core stuff is implementation agnostic and follow the rules of the specification. This blog posting is sort of a "scopes and contexts for dummies" with some simplifications, for a more formal approach you might want to Read The Fine Specification.

My wife has delivered our daughter and JBoss has delivered a snapshot of the AS 6 that can do most of the stuff we set out to do, so let's move on!

I'm happy to announce the 13th developer snapshot release of JBoss JCA 1.0.
Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.CR1 is now available. This is the last milestone build before the Final release. Not much has happened between Beta2 and CR1. The programmatic API as described in the previous release blog entry stayed as is and there were only three minor bug fixes. See release notes for details.
3.5.3-Final is a maintenance release of mainly minor bug fixes. Some fixes of particular interest are:
