Hibernate 3.0 RC1

Ta-da, the leading Java sites trumpet the news (TSS: Hibernate 3.0 goes to production): Gavin King has announced Hibernate 3.0 released!. Although Hibernate 3.0 carries the Release Candidate label, its creators themselves have called it suitable for production deployment. Among the changes that pleased me, and that aren’t too abstract for me, the Eclipse toolset stands out. The official road map and version 3 manual give a good overview of the changes.
