-
- (based on projects that have had a notable event, ie) release, change of location within Jakarta)
-
- ==== Commons HttpClient ====
-
- Commons HttpClient has had its first 3.0 release candidate and a final release should happen shortly.
-
- Much work has also been put into planning for Jakarta HttpClient (HttpClient 4.0), and initial development has begun. The focus of Jakarta HttpClient will be on making HttpClient more compact, modular, and reusable. We are currently putting together [http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/RequestForUseCases use cases] to help guide the 4.0 development.
-
- ==== Commons Logging ====
-
- Alpha release containing improved memory recycling during hot deployment in containers without explicit support for JCL.
- Pushing towards a full 1.0.5 release.
-
- ==== Commons Net ====
-
- Commons Net 1.3.0 was released in late December. This release contained a large number of enhancements and bug fixes, but the most important change was the addition of NTP/SNTP support. Since 1.3.0, there have been more enhancements to the FTP parser (currently in CVS), with the ultimate aim of making the FTP client configuration much more flexible and consequently being able to support different locales seamlessly. This, plus other bug fixes currently in the works, will form the basis of the 1.4 release.
-
- ==== Commons Transaction ====
-
- 1.0 final has been released in December. 1.1 already is feature complete and in beta status. It mainly adds deadlock detection and a partially revised interface layout. Slide 2.2 and OJB 1.1 are likely to use it.
-
- ==== Cactus ====
-
- Cactus 1.7 has been released preparing the way for a big refactoring. We are indeed going to refactor Cactus to leverage Cargo (http://cargo.codehaus.org). Nicolas Chalumeau (contributor) and I have been working on this. That should lighten Cactus and allow supporting many more containers and features (like hot deploy, etc) which our users have been asking for a while. Two new committers have been voted in recently (Kazuhito and Magnus). EJB Cactification has been added recently by Magnus and he's busy adding new improvements to it. Felipe is continuing with improvements to the Maven plugin for Cactus.
-
- ==== JCS ====
-
- ==== HiveMind ====
-
- Many new features have been recently added to HiveMind, driven by the needs of Tapestry primarily; this includes the ability to switch the locale on the fly (on a per-thread basis). This
- is used when accessing per-module message catalogs. In addition, HiveMind may now make ordinary POJOs into services (without a specific interface). The XML descriptors have
- been simplified, as a package for the module may now be specified, allowing the many class names in a descriptor to be abbreviated.
-
- Discussions are in place now about limiting the scope of 1.1 so that we can progress to a beta and final release.
-
- ==== Tapestry ====
-
- An early alpha release of Tapestry 3.1 has been released. Tapestry 3.0.2 may not be the final bug fix release for 3.0; there are discussions about fixing a few more bugs and
- integrating Paul Ferraro's "friendly URLs" patch into the code base for 3.0.3.
-
- Refactorings continue in the 3.1 code base, in pursuit of JSR-168 Portlet support.
-
- ==== Tomcat ====
-
- This has been a quiet period for Tomcat, partially because I've been extremely busy at school ;) We released versions 5.5.7 (stable) and 5.5.8 (alpha for now), each of which was a maintenance release addressing a good number of bugs and user requests. Version 5.5.9 should be out within the next couple of weeks, also addressing a number of recently reported issued (none serious).
-
- Two noteworthy items: first, adoption of Tomcat 5.5 has really accelerated following the first couple of stable releases. Many users are reporting satisfaction with the increased performance and stability. And second, we have kept in touch with the Geronimo project, especially with Jacek Laskowski (sp probably), working towards seamless Geronimo/Tomcat integration.
