[hibernate-dev] [HV] Release plan for a version compatible with Bean Validation 1.1.0.Alpha1

>> That's also my preference. Let's get out a strictly backwards-compatible HV 4.3 asap, and then proceed with HV 5 as first release based on BV 1.1. I'm not sure though, whether we'll have a first Alpha ready within one month, given that we have to finalize 4.3 before.

We heavily prioritized the remaining 4.3 issues and there are only 11 left now. I am working on getting most of them sorted out by next week were we 
are planning Beta1. CR and Final will follow closely. Let's say three weeks for 4.3 Final.

I am not sure atm how much work it will be to align the current method level validation with the spec. Gunnar is probably in a better position to give an 
estimate for that.
