Release Highlights

JBatch has been upgraded to version 1.0.1-b04 and now recognizes MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and DB2 as persistence managers. Hazelcast 3.4 has also been implemented as a clustered web session store and provider of JSR107.

We are also now providing distributions of the Multi-Language (ml) releases, which contain the l10n packages from GlassFish.

We lack translations for the additions we have made, such as the Hazelcast configuration page in the Admin Console. We would prefer to not accept internet translations as they are typically inaccurate.
