+## Apache BVal Report December 2012 ##
The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation 1.0 (JSR-303)
specification and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the
foundation on February 15, 2012.
### Releases ###
-No releases since the last report.
+Apache BVal version 0.5 was released on September 21--just after our last
+report to the board! This was a quick turnaround release, addressing a fairly
+serious regression (hence the last report's complete omission of any mention
+of an impending release).
### Activity ###
-Little development activity of late; most of the BVal team are spread across
-various ASF projects, so we've not yet been able to make good on our intentions
-to continue improving the codebase towards a 1.0 release.
+Development has begun to pick back up with some feints at solving one of our
+outstanding design issues; this has led to some interesting inter-project
+discussion, and looks poised to result in the creation of a new utility
+among the libraries provided by Apache Commons.
-Traffic on the user mailing list remains low/nonexistent.
+Mailing list traffic continues to be minimal.
We continue to follow the progress of the Bean Validation specification; its
1.1.0 version is being developed under Red Hat's (open) leadership as JSR-349.

### Branding ###
-The project has adopted (though not yet re-branded with) a new logo contributed
-by Adonis Raduca. The PMC thanks him for his contribution, as well as his
-employer, IRIAN Solutions, for his time.
+Re-styling the website to incorporate our new logo remains an open task.
### Legal ###
No concerns at present.
