Please do not edit. + deleted - == December 2007 Board Report == - - === Status === - - There are no items needing immediate attention of the board though it is - worth to note that we had two releases in the meantime and that the move - to TLP is nearly done. See below for more details. - - === Releases === - - This list includes all releases since our last report - as a Jakarta sub-project in September 2007. - - * 9 October 2007 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 alpha 6 - * 7 November 2007 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 alpha 2 - - - === Community === - - No new committers, the PMC still has the same composition as of the date - of TLP approval: - - erikabele, antelder, asankha, olegk, oglueck, pzf, rolandw, sebb - - It is also worth to note that currently all active committers are - also on the PMC. - - === Migration === - - We are nearly done moving out of Jakarta to our own dedicated TLP; there - are still some minor things to be done but the PMC is actively - working on - getting everything in shape until end of the year. - - Items done: - - * Updated faundation records (internal & public) - * Updated ASF Site (links, records, ...) - * Created / moved mailing lists - * dev@/commits@/httpclient-users@/private@ hc.a.o - * Created new TLP SVN tree and private pmc-specific SVN tree - * https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/ - * https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/ - * Created DNS, Unix group and website space - * http://hc.apache.org/ - * http://httpcomponents.apache.org/ (redirects to hc.a.o) - * Created dist location and archive location - * http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ - * http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/ - * Added raw mail archives, merged out of the old lists - * http://hc.apache.org/mail/ - * Updated Jira components, links and mailing list notifications - * Requested changes of mod_mbox archives as well as move of the wiki - - Items still in work: - - * Move of SVN contents - * Move of wiki, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1442 - * Move of website when moved in SVN - * Updating website with the new mailing lists, locations of svn, dist and wiki locations - * Adding redirects for the old site/svn as soon as moved - * Adding project-specific DOAP info (projects.apache.org) - * Updating Gump integration - * Creating the bylaws, currently we're still operating under the previous Jakarta-specific bylaws - - === Development === - - After the HttpCore 4.0 alpha6 release, the Java version requirement question - was raised once more by a contributor. We held a poll on the user list which - showed zero interest in JDK 1.4 compatibility. We therefore upgraded the - required Java version to 5.0 for everything but HttpCore-main. HttpCore-main - remains compatible with Java 1.3 to facilitate a port to J2ME, if anyone - wants to do that. - - HttpCore alpha6 was the last alpha, but we still made significant API - improvements for the upcoming beta. The parsing API was changed to use - cursors, and new iterators for header values were introduced. After - the upgrade of the Java requirements, module HttpNIOSSL was merged into - HttpNIO. HttpNIO now makes use of generics, and has also seen some - improvements and extensions of its API. - - HttpClient 4.0 alpha2 was functionally mostly complete. Remaining gaps to - 3.1 functionality are NTLM authentication and multipart request entities. - NTLM authentication will be provided in a separate module. We still have - to figure out whether we can host that module on Apache, since it will - depend on L-GPL licensed jCIFS. None of the developers wants to maintain - the NTLMv1 code from HttpClient 3.1. - A multipart request entity is used for file uploads, and for extendend - protocols like WebDAV. Since we currently focus our efforts on HTTP, - multipart is somewhat out of scope. Other projects provide multipart - parsing functionality, but not the formatting we would need. It seems - most likely that multipart formatting code will end up in some contrib - package, which is officially unsupported but will work. - The alpha3 release is still a long way to go. We've upgraded the code - to make use of Java 5 generics. Other Java 5 features will be used too, - for example in connection management. The thread-safe connection manager - still needs some internal refactoring. Improvements to the client API - can be expected all over the place. - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
