Development Work on 3.0.3 (STABLE) and 3.1 (ALPHA) releases continue. Artifacts for 3.1 Milestone 3 prepared and awaiting vote for release. This release was delayed by changing the build/release procedures to be more Maven-centric.

Community Mailing list activity is above average on developer and user lists. The user list has seen a spike of questions from newcomers to Cayenne and several of the questions led to wide-ranging discussions. Many users are also starting to use the 3.1 milestone and asking questions about configuration which aren't well documented yet. Dzmitry Kazimirchyk added as a committer.
