- 
- (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.
