version 10.3.1.0 beta available for testin

[Myrna van Lunteren <m....@gmail.com>]

Hi!

You may have been aware of the Derby developer community's efforts to
create a next release. There is now a beta version that you can test
with: http://people.apache.org/~myrnavl/10.3.1.0.beta.

Please note that this is not an official release; it is not gpg-signed
(as is the standard for Apache products) and some minor bug fixes are
still being worked on; however, the main part of the work for 10.3 is
completed.

I strongly urge you to test this version, and log your activity on:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenThreeApplicationTesting.
Please make sure you do your testing with a copy, not your production, database.
Please read the RELEASE-NOTES.html carefully, especially the section
regarding intentional incompatibilities, to assess whether you/your
application will be affected.

If you find unexpected behavior not found in previous releases, nor
covered in these release notes, please ask about it on derby-user, or
report them in jira; see:
http://db.apache.org/derby/DerbyBugGuidelines.html#Login+to+Jira%2FRequest+a+Jira+userid.

Regards
Myrna van Lunteren
