 ## Activity:
 
- - Apache BVal community members working in Apache Commons have recently
-   succeeded in pushing the 2.0 release of the Apache Commons Weaver component
-   upon which we depend.
- - Our immediate plans are to push the release of the Apache licensed bean
-   validation 2.0 specification artifact through the Apache Geronimo project and
-   then to release Apache BVal 2.0.
- - The security issue mentioned last quarter is incurred at the specification
-   level and has been deemed low priority by the bean validation community as a
-   whole, any vulnerability requiring deliberate and naive custom code on the
-   part of the application developer. The Apache BVal community continue to
-   ponder what actions we might take to reduce the likelihood of such naive
-   exposures.
+ - During the past quarter we released Apache BVal 2.0.0 which delivers an
+   implementation of the latest 2.0 Bean Validation JSR specification.
+ - The recent release included code that, unless deliberately circumvented,
+   would prevent the behavior at the core of the security vulnerability reported
+   during Q2.
+ - The Bean Validation EG leadership has reached out to encourage us to obtain
+   official status as a conforming implementation. This is primarily a matter
+   of configuration tooling which we hope to address in a forthcoming point
+   release.
+ - We have received a small number of post-release bug reports which we intend
+   to address in the immediate future when the team's non-volunteer workload
+   permits.
