With the release of DbUtils 1.2, we're actually basically already ready to do another release of DbUtils, this time with enhancements specific to Java 5 (generics + varargs).
The new Java 5 API is 100% compatible at runtime with the API of DbUtils 1.2 (or, at least, I tried to do so, I'll be sure to use API comparison tools prior to release and fix any bugs I find).
I'd like to call this new release DbUtils 1.3. I can imagine someone arguing that it should be 2.0, but I don't think so; in DbUtils 1.2 we just raised the required JRE version from 1.3 to 1.4 and I think that's fine.
The difference between Java 1.4 and 1.5 is much bigger than the difference between 1.3 and 1.4, but not so great, I think, that a major version bump is required.
If nobody objects, I'll start preparing for a DbUtils 1.3 release in about 72 hours.
