Let me know if there are any remaining issues or concerns. First of all, around 200 Jira issues have been resolved since the last Apache board report on December 10th 2025. The main new feature update is that Android is now officially supported, see Axis2/C doc: https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-c-core/blob/master/docs/HTTP2_ ANDROID.md and if interested in Android or phone cameras then see my own personal and non-ASF project at https://github.com/robertlazarski/kanaha . A lot of effort went into security hardening as documented in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1708 and Google OSS-Fuzz that has been submitted fo r approval so it runs continuously, see https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-c-core/blob/master/docs/OSS-FUZZ.md, Some features have been removed: NTLM, TCP transport, CGI, IIS, AMQP, one of the two libcurl implementations "libcurl HTTP Backend" . See the release notes at https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-c-core/blob/master/docs/release-notes-2.0.0.md . Finally, there is a brand new site build. Check it out via these commands : ### Setup ```bash # Create a Python virtual environment and install dependencies python3 -m venv mkdocs-venv ./mkdocs-venv/bin/pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material ``` ### Preview Locally ```bash # Start the development server ./mkdocs-venv/bin/mkdocs serve
