    * Configuration 
      Commons Configuration is an API to deal easily with various configuration 
formats (properties files, xml files, JNDI...) We have finally stabilized and 
released the first official release after a slow maturation of 3 years across 
various Jakarta projects. Many new ideas are floating around and a new release 
(1.1) is expected in late December or early January.
    * Email (comment needed on promotion)
-   * HttpClient (comment needed on release)
+   * HttpClient
+      HttpClient has entered the 3.0 beta stage.  The API is now frozen unless 
major problems are discovered.  We hope to have a final 3.0 release by the end 
of 2004 or early 2005.
+
+      Now that 3.0 is nearing completion we anticipate beginning HttpClient 
4.0 soon.  This release will feature a number of major changes with the main 
focus on making HttpClient more compact and reusable.  The core HTTP library 
will be refactored into into smaller separable pieces with the HTTP methods 
separated into request/response pairs.  We also plan to start working on a 
number of application level components such as a simple HTTP proxy, web 
crawler, etc. that build upon HttpClient.  The core library and components will 
be released at the Jakarta level.
    * Jelly
      We are finally nearing a 1.0 release. We've put out a release candidate, 
have some minor bugs to address and are looking to
      better our documentation of Jelly's taglibs.
