Glassfish Time Lines

 The following link provided me with the information about the next set of Glassfish 3 up to v4 releases. The v3.2 and v4.0 releases have Java EE 7 functionality in them and that is primarily what Ill be looking forward to. The v3.0.1 release has come out at this stage (i.e.: 20101004) already and Im using it and this provided some of the initial bug fixes that come from a new major release version (i.e. when they went from v2.x to v3.0 that x.0 release always has a bunch of bugs and the first 100 day patch release is where the stability IMHO comes in...although GFv3.0 was not really that bad and only had a few minor issues).
