<li><strong>Release of olap4j 0.9.8</strong><br/>
This release is mostly a wrap-up of the unofficial releases we have put in the Maven repository.
Notable changes include compatibility with SAP BW, contextual drill-through for the Query Model,
CellSetListener implementation for real time updates, along with various other compatibility fixes.</li><br/><br/>
<li><strong>Month of August</strong><br/>
During the month of August, the olap4j community will have a chance to comment the proposed changes
to the 1.0 final draft. We will provide an updated functional specification document as well as a
complete list of the changes that will be required. Should you judge that some items are still missing,
or that some should be modified or removed altogether, you are encouraged to let us know. The
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=olap4j-devel">mailing list</a>
is the best place to hold those discussions, or you can also use our
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/olap4j/forums/forum/577988">forums</a>.</li><br/><br/>
<li><strong>September 1st - Release of 0.9.9</strong><br/>
September 1st is the date that marks the end of our discussions. After that, all the changes
that we agreed upon will be implemented in the API, as well as the Mondrian and XML/A implementations
of the driver. The 0.9.9 release will include those changes, but <u>will still maintain retro-compatibility</u>.
Some API calls will be marked for deprecation, new ones will be present as well.
The 0.9.9 release will be the last available before 1.0. Everything that is marked for deprecation
will be removed as of 1.0, so users will have a chance to convert their code base progressively.</li><br/><br/>
<li><strong>October 31st - Release of 1.0</strong>
We are planning to release olap4j 1.0 on October 31st. <u>All methods that have been marked as deprecated,
whether by the 0.9.9 release or any other previous 0.X release will be removed.</u></li>
Statistical simulations module.</li>

<h4>Get involved!</h4>
<p>Join the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=577988">forum</a>, download the specification, and give us your feedback. If you are developing an OLAP server, component or
application, let's work together to make your project olap4j-compliant.</p><br/>
<p>Drivers for mondrian and XML/A are under development; we're looking for committers to work on these drivers and drivers for other servers.</p>
