Features added and bugs/fixes in TAO DDS version 0.12: (This is an excerpt of the release notes, for full change information see the release notes and the ChangeLog within the source distribution)
- DCPSInfoRepo service now has a file based persistence mechanism. This can be configured to actively persist the InfoRepo's current state and in cause of a fatal failure to resurrect the same into the saved state.
- It is now possible to build DDS without Built-In-Topic (BIT) support in order to reduce the footprint of DDS.
- The reliable multicast transport was added. See the DDS developers guide for details.
- Fixed an issue with GCC 4 "hidden visibility" for shared libraries.
- Support for Built-In-Topics and the TRANSIENT_LOCAL value for DURABILITY QoS is now complete. This means that BITs will now work as specified.
- Implemented initial support for zero-copy read.
- Various bug fixes and robustness improvements

Here's the blurb I got from the installer when I finished my installation:
Welcome to Jython 2.2b2 ======================= This is the second beta release towards the 2.2 version of Jython. It contains all of the new features for the 2.2 release: - new-style classes - Java List integration - a PEP 302 implementation - iterators - generators - __future__ division - support for running on modern JVMs - a new installer In addition to these major features, many bugs have been fixed from 2.2b1. See the NEWS file for a more complete list of changes. The release was compiled on Windows XP with JDK 6 but it should run on 1.4.2+. This release exists to solicit feedback about any bugs or missing features; if you can provide it, it is greatly appreciated. Bug reports can be created at http://jython.org/bugs whereas more general questions can be sent to the Jython-dev mailing list, jython-dev@lists.sourceforge.net. The current plan calls for a release candiate in a few weeks, and if it proves stable, the final release of 2.2 a few weeks after that.
