      A vote on a 1.0 release is likely to be called soon after the promotion 
is completed.
 
+     Commons Email and Commons Chain have recently run into issues using Maven 
as a build tool with their dependencies on libraries which are only distributed 
under the Sun Binary Code License.  One of Maven's strengths is the automatic 
retrieval of dependencies, but the SBCL prevents hosting of these libraries on 
a public Maven repository.  Individual developers must retrieve these libraries 
independently.  This issue also is also complicating automated build processes. 
 An enhancement request has been filed for the Maven Ant plugin which may help 
some, but our understanding is that the terms of this license will continue to 
require more manual intervention for these projects than for other Commons 
projects.

    * 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.
