Hi,

The planned date for Beta1 is 28th of Sept. 
Beta would mean a feature and API freeze - if you think something's critical and won't meet the deadline please let me know.

Following JIRAs must make it in (otherwise we'll hold the release) [1]:

ISPN-2332 - Update xsite configuration file (Mircea, config/api change)
ISPN-2319 - Add ability to take a site offline into x-site implementation (Mircea, required for the xsite functionality)
ISPN-2316 - Distributed deadlock in StateTransferInterceptor (Dan, critical so that QA can progress with testing)
ISPN-1407 - Make sure the server_list attribute of the Hot Rod Client can be updated dynamically (Galder, required by rolling upgrades functionality) 
ISPN-1284 - Use synchronizations as a default transactional mode rather than XA  (Mircea, small change with big impact on transactions)


[1] same list (updated) is available here:  https://issues.jboss.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12317782

Cheers,
