Yikes,  I forgot the beta link.
http://people.apache.org/~rhillegas/10.2.1.3-beta/

Other 10.2 information

Register your application testing results and the type of derby usage 
you work think they work out at
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoApplicationTesting

File issues and list them for the contest at
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/RegressionSearchAndDestroy

If we can get  testing of twenty  query intensive applications  I would 
feel better about a release.  I see  the issues  that  have come in 
recently
as a indicator  that we need a larger data set to understand the 
likelihood that users will hit regressions when they upgrade.  Please help.

Thanks
