Hi Everyone, The Maven Archiva team is pleased to announce the release of Archiva 1.0 Beta 2.
Archiva is a build artifact repository manager for use with build tools such as Maven, Continuum and Ant. It has features like repository search and browse, securing repositories, identifying unknown artifacts and reporting of repository problems. Aside from these, it can also act as a nearby (proxy) cache of popular global repositories. The latest release is now available here: http://maven.apache.org/archiva/download.html Below are the jira issues that were resolved for Archiva 1.0 Beta 2: Release Notes - Archiva - Version 1.0-beta-2 ** Sub-task * [MRM-472] - Re-enabled metadata tests in archiva-proxy * [MRM-473] - Fix the proxy code (and possibly the tests) to ensure proper merging of metadata.xml files. * [MRM-474] - Create tests for non-snapshot metadata merging * [MRM-475] - Create tests for snapshot metadata merging ** Bug * [MRM-211] - Cannot use Archiva to get Maven1 Plugins * [MRM-374] - Changes aren't saved when updating Archiva Managed Snapshot Repository * [MRM-383] - Unable to add new file types for Repository Scanning * [MRM-392] - pressing 'return' in the blacklist/whitelist form field submits whole form and validates, not pressing associated button * [MRM-393] - Can't delete blacklist/whitelist pattern * [MRM-407] - "Scanned" is always set to true even if unchecked in the Edit Repository page * [MRM-408] - The mvn deploy:deploy-file command gives "Parent doesn't exist" in a fresh install * [MRM-409] - No checking of invalid poms or artifacts during repository scanning resulting to some objects not being found on the database * [MRM-436] - incorrect default cron expression for snapshots repository * [MRM-438] - broken images in the download box on the artifact page * [MRM-441] - removing a "remote repository" should not present the page about handling content * [MRM-456] - current configuration code is too likely to complain about multiple sources * [MRM-460] - invalid cache policy * [MRM-462] - separate configuration of managed repositories from remote repositories * [MRM-463] - Metadata merging doesn't work. * [MRM-465] - [Load Testing] When asking for pages that require the effective-pom in high load, app becomes unresponsive. * [MRM-467] - 500 error when user requested the dependency tree for artifact * [MRM-496] - adding a proxy connector action is not working after repository changes * [MRM-497] - Incomplete deployment descriptor * [MRM-498] - upgrade to last webwork/xwork ** Improvement * [MRM-153] - when used as a maven1 proxy, Archiva should handle relocation from maven2 poms * [MRM-385] - Maven config docs refer to /proxy urls * [MRM-449] - improvement to the reports form group search * [MRM-450] - change default label for repository ID report search to "All repositories" instead of "" * [MRM-453] - Create missing tests for repository purge * [MRM-457] - don't display the snapshot removal options in the repository list page if snapshots are not included * [MRM-499] - Webwork Performance Tuning ** Task * [MRM-144] - fix miscellaneous tasks listed in important TODO items ** Wish * [MRM-471] - Create a sample project that demonstrates how a component can be plugged into Archiva.
