The Traffic Server community has released our first two development
releases, TS v2.1.0 and v2.1.1. These releases includes a number of
improvements, and feature additions:

* Major performance improvements in most layers, increasing throughput by up
   to 2x in some benchmarks.
* Increased cache capacity, we now support up to 0.5PB per disk spindle. A
   new RAM cache algorithm is also added.
* Support for most Unix flavors, including FreeBSD, MacOSX and Solaris.
* Completely new, flexible configuration layout, simplifying the build and
   packaging task for binary distributions.
* Improved 64-bit support.

The project is on track for a late summer / early fall release of v2.2.0,
which will probably be the next public release (there is no immediate need
for a v2.0.x release). This schedule will be adjusted as necessary though.

The community is continuing to see an increase in activity, with questions,
bugs and patches from several new (and returning) participants. At least one
new committer is expected to join the team in the next few weeks.

There are no outstanding issues with our transition from Incubator to TLP.
