Xaraya 0.9.12 Released!

Today we are pleased to present you with our web application development
framework, Xaraya Version 0.9.12, in what aims to be a final maintenance
release prior to Version 1.0.

This release provides fixes for bugs that were evident in the last release
and some enhancements in the underlying codebase. The emphasis in this
release has not been in user functionality and enhancements, but
demonstrates our Team's strong commitment towards provision of a solid
enterprise level application development framework, steadily moving towards
greater performance handling, usability, and production stable status.

For the developers out there, this release also marks the beginning of a
major develoment push towards 1.0. This will be evident in our Bitkeeper
repositories where you will find major scenarios will be merged to the core
stable code in coming weeks. We remind interested parties who don't have 
bitkeeper access that the latest development code can always be found in the 
weekly development snapshots available at 
http://www.xaraya.com/downloads/snaps/.
