    The Cayenne team is pleased to present the third milestone of Cayenne
    3. This is a development branch of Cayenne and still undergoing
    significant changes. A number of developers are using it in production
    systems, however if you want the most stable and tested version of
    Cayenne you should use version 1.x or 2.x which have a proven track
    record and are widely used in deployment.

    This milestone release adds some exciting new features, including
    enhancements to the Cayenne modeler for lifecycle listeners and
    callbacks and the ability to merge changes to the model back to the
    database, extensive new work toward full JPA compliance, updates to
    cgen and the templates, and much more.

    This release requires Java 5 as a minimum. The decision to change the
    required JDK was made after a poll of users revealed no substantial
    need for Java 1.4 and plenty of benefits in moving forward. Generics
    are only partially completed in the public API at this time and we
    continue to try and balance the opportunities and headaches of a clean
    generics interface.

    All feedback, bug reports or feature requests are welcome and there is
    still time for new features to be added before 3.0 final release. We
    encourage you to test it in your application and report back any
    issues you might have so they can be addressed. Upgrade notes can be
    found here:
