I noticed there are 22 unresolved Jira issues that are currently scheduled for 3.5.x, that are not scheduled for 3.6. 3.6 may have been dropped inadvertently when moving unresolved issues before doing a release. I've created a filter "Core-Unresolved-Fixfor-3.5.x-Not-3.6" for these issues at: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/IssueNavigator.... If you are working on any of these issues please take a moment to make corrections as appropriate (e.g. add 3.6 as a fix version, change 3.5.x to 3.6). Thanks, Gail
