Updated release info. I set the release date as the 13th, as the files will need to propagate to mirrors after Sijie releases them tomorrow.
============================================================= BookKeeper status report for June 2012. Bookkeeper is a distributed, reliable, and high performance logging service. The project also includes Hedwig which is a highly scalable Pub/Sub service built on top of ZooKeeper and Bookkeeper with strong durability guarantees. Our second release as a sub-project of ZooKeeper, 4.1.0, was released on June 13th. It fixes 102 issues of both BookKeeper and Hedwig. New features include JMX instrumentation and a CLI interface to Hedwig. Infrastructure issues: There is a minor issue with Jira. One of applications of BookKeeper is journaling for the HDFS namenode. There has been cases in which we needed to move jiras from one project to the other, but the current jira configuration does not allow contributors to move jira issues. Interestingly, the hadoop jira configuration does allow such moves, but our request to change the Jira configuration for BookKeeper so far has not been accepted. Community building: Since the previous release, we have started receiving more contributions from developers across different companies, in particular Huawei. They have expressed strong interest in the project due to its coupling with HDFS. There has been smaller contributions and bug reports from Twitter and Hubspot. In general, we have been able to grow the community and increase diversity. Community: * 42 subscribers to bookkeeper-dev * 48 subscribers to bookkeeper-user * 287 issues opened to date, 140 opened since Jan 1, 2012 * 24 reporters of Jira issues, 14 since Jan 1, 2012 * 10 patch contributors
