In Relation To

I’m just on my way back from JUDCon China in Beijing. I must say it was an interesting week. I mean what else can you say for a country when you don’t understand a word they are saying, or any written word for that matter. :-) But thankfully to our Chinese co-workers there was no problem for us to go around. The food and the view is spectacular - the new olympic stadium and aquatic center are just amazing.

Today it's my pleasure to announce the simultaneous release of Hibernate Validator 5.0.0.Alpha2 and 4.3.1.Final.

I'm happy to announce the 3rd beta release of the IronJacamar 1.1 series.

Last week the JCP posted the CDI 1.1 public review draft. This draft continues to incrementally improve the 1.0 spec. We haven't added any major new features, instead we're concentrating on honing 1.0 :-)

I will be at Devoxx this year again - this starts to look like a pilgrimage ;). But I am particularly excited as I have given it a participating twist: less @OneToMany talks more @Code and @ManyToMany interactions. What can you expect from Devoxx?

Hibernate ORM 4.1.8.Final was released early this morning. This maintenance release contains just shy of 50 resolved issues, including several that were years old. As usual, we sincerely appreciate the large amount of community involvement on this release. The full changelog can be viewed here: https://hibernate.onjira.com/issues/?jql=project=10031+AND+fixVersion=12350

In case you missed it, we just released the fourth milestone of Ceylon and Ceylon IDE. The next release will be the feature-complete Ceylon 1.0 beta, now due in January. We've also pushed a major update to Ceylon Herd.

With plenty of work being done on CapeDwarf, I now finally found some time to blog about previous week’ visits and a cloud oriented conference.
