(New) Features by Release
New functionality is being introduced with new releases, and sometimes it is useful to know what is the minimum version that has specific set of functionality you need; or to evaluate whether upgrade to a new version would make sense. To help with this, there are separate release pages for recent (and sometimes upcoming) Jackon releases:
1.1 Features (Jun 2009)
1.2 Features (Aug 2009)
1.3 Features (Oct 2009)
1.4 Features (Dec 2009)
Planned 1.5 Features (work in progress)
