Hi everyone, The 3.1.0.Beta3 release has been tagged, and the artifacts have been released on the JBoss Nexus repository. There's still a few things to do to complete the release: 1) Build and upload the distributions for all the modules and upload to sourceforge 2) Upload new versions of all the docs to docs.jboss.org. 3) Finish updating the bundled distribution and release it to sourceforge. 4) Update release dates in JIRA 5) Post release announcement to in.relation.to These remaining items will be completed tomorrow. I would like to thank everyone for the hard work done on this release, it's great to see the addition of a number of new modules and the progression of features and quality improvement on the existing modules. I'm personally very excited about the addition of the JCR and Social modules, I'm looking forward to using them myself. We are planning on a CR1 release on the 18th of October, followed shortly after by the final release on the 28th October. I encourage everyone to try out this new release (yes, it's actually a public release this time) and let us know of any issues that you find. Thank you, Shane
