[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] release plans

[hansharz_bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Hans Harz)]

Hi eclipselink team,

could you please specify the release plans for the next weeks.
In the master timeline, there is a 1.2.0 release scheduled for the 
9/30/2009, but up to now there is no milestone or RC available.

In my company we have a release scheduled for 9/30/2009, and the 1.1.2 
code that we use currently contains at least on blocker:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=288620
and with a potential workaround:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=221389

How stable are the milestones? For example the 1.1.3 M2 passes all the 
unit tests in the JPA section.

Could you please also explain what are the differences between the 1.1.3 
and the 1.2.0 release.
And will be the JPA 1.0 handling in the 2.0 release backwards compatible 
to the 1.1.2/1.2.0 versions?

Will the 1.1.3 release contain the bugfixes for the earlier 1.2.0 release?

thanks in advance for your answers.

best regards,
Felix
