One consequence of 2.3.2 is that it now requires Java 5. We've added support for Enums and therefore we cannot compile it under 1.4. It's possible to make a 1.4 compatible branch of the framework, but that can be a separate issue. If you've voting to promote this, then you're also voting to drop support for JDK 1.4 in the release. I like this approach, because it also prepares people for iBATIS 3.0...which will be Java 5 only. Clinton

[ANNOUNCE] iBATIS 2.3.2 Promoted to General Availability
The latest version of iBATIS for Java 2.3.2 has been promoted to GA. This version requires Java 5. While it wasn't planned that way originally, we decided to take the plunge and start to encourage our users to upgrade their platforms (or at least become one more reason to do so). Sun will be discontinuing support for JDK 1.4 in about four months and most of the world has already moved to Java 5. This also allows us to include built-in support for enumerations and will better prepare you for iBATIS 3 when the time comes. You can download it from the Java Downloads page: http://ibatis.apache.org/javadownloads.cgi Enjoy!
