 <p>Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model.</p>
-<h2 id="project-branding-board-report-checklist">Project Branding Board Report Checklist</h2>
+<p>Users have asked for a release of the Aries JPA bundles and hence the snapshot bundles it depends on (Aries Util) - in particular due to:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>the new 'runtime enhancer' that will mean entities can be enhanced as they are used in the runtime, rather than at development time.</li>
+<li>the support for EclipseLink (in addition to Apache OpenJPA) as a JPA provider</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The release process has just started. This will exercise our per bundle release process adhering to the OSGi Alliance Semantic Versioning recommendations.</p>
+<p>There have also been enhancements to the Aries JMX (whiteboard pattern) and Aries Subsystem (to use OSGi Core 4.3).</p>
+<p>Apache Geronimo, which consumes Apache Aries to implement its enterprise OSGi application programming model, has been readying a release. The performance enhancements in the Aries Proxy module which now makes use of the new Weaving Hooks OSGi specification, has had a few teething problems for Geronimo. All known problems are now resolved.</p>
