This information may for example be useful to users, new developers or documentation contributors.

10.2 development activities and their status
This section contains a list of features and improvements that used to be worked on for the 10.2 release. The first 10.2 release was 10.2.1.6, and was released in October 2006, see the download page, thus most of the information in this section is probably not up-to-date.
It was proposed that all contributors keep this page up to date, which will help other developers, documentation efforts and for driving to a release.
First table lists all features that affect Derby functionality and hence would need some documentation changes. Second table lists internal improvement requests that may not be exposed to end users. Record any special issues in the last table that may need release notes update.
If there are any questions about new features or improvements, please send email to 'derby-dev@db.apache.org'.
