I am proud to inform you of the release of version 3.1.  This new version is the fruit of the hard work our our R&D team, but also of the inputs and feature requests of the Talend Community, and - let’s not forget it - of the involvement of the community in the development process itself.  Two great examples of this involvement are:

• Talend Babili - version 3.1 is the first version to contain localized language packs in 9 languages (in addition to English), enabling a native language user interface to be available for our users across the world.  Talend Babili is a pure community project, and has seen tremendous involvement for a number of community members.
• Our beta testing process, and especially our “bug squashing contest” which has seen numerous bug reporters get involved in the final testing stages of version 3.1.  The five top bug reporters, located in Germany, USA and France, reported up to 15 issues! Pierrick is in the process of notifying them of the prizes they have won.

Overall, the theme of version 3.1 is about enterprise interoperability.  With new mainframe connectors, new business application connectors, enterprise monitoring capabilities - it’s all about providing an enterprise grade data integration platform.

You can get more details about version 3.1 through our forum, the press release we issued today, and of course you can try it by downloading Talend Open Studio.
