Its originalRoad Map plan was covered very well. Only the item "Gail’s OperationalContext" did not make it into 5.2. That particular change will be included in 6.x - hopefully 6.0 depending on how Type dependent the OperationalContext work is.

In addition to the original Road Map items, the following features were added:- Support for integrating with JCache providers as second level caching providers* Support for controlling "JDBC batch size" at the Session level
