+Many people have already been using various milestones, betas and RCs of 4.0, so the GA release is a simple and straightforward upgrade for them. For those who were waiting for the offcially "final" version before upgrading, this day is now. Among those 400+ tasks there are a lot of cool features making everyday life of a Java developer easier:
+
+* fluent query API, simple parameter bindings, aggregating and scalar queries;
+* better runtime assembly and extension mechanism;
+* fresh CayenneModeler;
+* working "Database-First" ORM flow;
+* JCache integration;
+* database cryptography extensions;
+* Gradle ORM workflow plugins and much more
+
+In the comping weeks expect blog posts that explain what this all means. Follow us on Twitter @ApacheCayenne to not miss the announcements, and feel free to start a conversation on the user@ mailing list. 
+
+Thanks to everyone who made 4.0 possible!
