Rod Johnson announced during the openning keynote of The Spring Experience that instead of releasing a 1.3 version of the Spring Framework they were going 2.0. Rod even thought they would have the release ready by the end of the conference, 4 days later.
Well, they missed that deadline, but I just read on Rob Harrop’s blog that Spring 2.0 M1 will be released this Monday. That’s pretty big news to users of the Spring Framework and I’m sure they’ll have the CVS server working hard serving up checkouts.
