Services may be implemented in a number of languages, > while clients are required to be jvm based, to allow proxy jvm byte code to > be provisioned dynamically. > > ## Issues: > > No significant issues requiring board attention at this time. > > ## Activity: > > Minimal activity at present. > > - Planned relase map: > > Release roadmap: >> >> River 3.0.1 - thread leak fix >> River 3.1 - Modular build restructure (& binary release) >> River 3.2 - Input validation 4 Serialization, delayed unmarshalling& safe >> ServiceRegistrar lookup service. >> River 3.3 - OSGi support > > ## Health report: > > - Minimal activity at present on dev. > - No recent commit activity, but there are plans for more work in near future. > > - Future Direction: > > * Target IOT space with support for OSGi and IPv6 (security fixes required > prior to announcement) > * Input validation for java deserialization - prevents DOS and > Gadget attacks. > * IPv6 Multicast Service Discovery (River currently only support > IPv4 multicast discovery). > * Delayed unmarshalling for Service Lookup and Discovery (includes > SafeServiceRegistrar mentioned in release roadmap), so > authentication can occur prior to downloading service proxy's, > this addresses a long standing security issue with service lookup > while significantly improving performance under some use cases. > * Security fixes for SSL endpoints, updated to TLS v1.2 with removal > of support for insecure cyphers. > * Maven build to replace existing ant built that uses > classdepandjar, a bytecode dependency analysis build tool. > > ## PMC changes: > > - Currently 12 PMC members. > - One new PMC members added in the last 3 months > - Last PMC addition was Dan Rollo on Fri 1st December 2017 > > ## Committer base changes: > > - Currently 16 committers. > > ## Releases: > > - River-3.0.0 was released on Wed Oct 05 2016 > > ## Mailing list activity: > > - Relatively quiet in comparison to recent months, however this appears as a > result of reaching concensus after a period of discussion. > > ## JIRA activity: > > - Nil Activity this period. > > > > >
