The document summarizes new features in JPA 2.0, including:
1) Standard properties were added to persistence.xml to configure things like locking timeouts and query timeouts.
2) The @AccessType annotation now allows mixed field and property access within an entity, overriding the default at the attribute level.
3) Derived identifiers allow identifiers to be derived from relationships rather than requiring a separate foreign key field.
4) New features were added for collections like @ElementCollection and support for ordering collections with @OrderColumn.
