[REPORT] HttpComponents PMC - August 2009

[Erik Abele <er...@codefaktor.de>]

Status report for the Apache HttpComponents project - 08/2009
-------------------------------------------------------------

-- Status --

Right after releasing HttpCore 4.0 GA, development of HttpClient resumed
in full force and the project is proud to have reached another milestone
this month: HttpClient 4.0 GA.

The project in general is doing very fine, there are no issues requiring
attention of the board.

-- Releases --

We have had two releases since the last report:

   22 June 2009 - HttpComponents Core 4.0.1
   13 August 2009 - HttpComponents Client 4.0

-- Community --

The project was not able to attract any new committers since the last  
report
although the user base is vibrant as ever.

As a result of several well-know products using HttpCore and/or  
HttClient we
are seeing continued interest in the project.

-- Development --

In the last two month the project focussed on getting HttpClient 4.0  
finished
and released. This includes improvements to the documentation and  
resulted in
a dedicated tutorial on the new HttpClient.

The project is now actively moving into the direction of HttpCore 4.1;  
a first
alpha release for developer cponsumption has been put together recently.
