Since there's nothing in this relase so far that the community is really
wanting/needing, I think it would be worthwhile to take a look at some of
the other open issues before doing another release.  Specifically:

1. JIRA 349, 357, 366, and 367 (maybe others too - I haven't done a serious
triage).

2. I think we should allow a <resultMap> with no <result> sub elements per
this conversation (I ran into this issue myself recently in one of my
projects):

3. Someone should take a serious look at this potential issue with prepared
statement caching - at least make the error message more helpful than "this
is likely a bug":

http://www.mail-archive.com/user-java@ibatis.apache.org/msg06919.html

4.  Lastly (my continuing prodding) - any new feature that is added should
be documented in the PDF.  iBATIS is in wide enough use that we need to be
more serious about our documentation.  I'm thinking specifically of prepared
statement caching, multiple result sets, and Oracle cursor support.  Each of
these things have generated multiple questions on the user list.  We can't
say "RTFM" if we don't have any FM :)  Also, the PDF should be updated to
reflect the new packaging for 2.3.

I will have time over the holiday weekend to work on some of these, so I
propose waiting at least another week or two.

I'm -1 until some of these other issues are resolved one way or another.

Hi all,

I'd like to release iBATIS 2.3 sometime this week.  The changes listed for
the release are as follows:

 o DEPRECATED All PaginatedList related features due to misuse, minimal
applicability and inflexibility
 o DEPRECATED DAO Framework -- Removed from primary distribution,
available as a separate download
 o Removed DAO framework from Subversion source tree (tagged before
removal)
 o Changed deployment file naming convention, dropped "DBL" and lowercased
all
 o Merged common and sqlmap jar files (no more DAO means there's no point
in keeping commons separate)
 o Implemented transaction level PreparedStatement caching
 o Fixed IBATIS-335 - Don't call setQueryTimeout if no value specified
 o Fixed IBATIS-353 - Probe exception when using inheritance hierarchies

Cheers,
Clinton
