As planned, jbossas/trunk will be branched later tonight: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/AS600CR1StatusExecutiveSummary A few outstanding JIRAs expected for the release remain. Let me know if these issues are BLOCKERS for the release or will be deferred. EJB 3 Update: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8370 -- Async Integration of jboss-ejb3-bean-instantiator https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8313 RESTEasy Upgrade https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8555 Once the branch is created, the integrations related to jboss-injection will be begin (tomorrow) in trunk. This POC has already been performed in its' own branch but it is possible there will be some initial destabilization of trunk. Shelly McGowan JBoss, by Red Hat
