JATO 1.1 Backward Compatible?
If we have not made any changes to the JATO framework, but only extended it,
do you expect any application code changes to be required if we upgrade our
"1.0 patch 6" JATO classes with the 1.1 classes to be released soon?

Great, thanks Todd. And what is your best estimate of the 1.1 release date?
Our go-live date is in about 2 months and we're debating whether or not to
spend the time to "upgrade".
Thanks
