Can be broken into an extra section (e.g. infrastructure) if something significant occurred. - - If no Board action is required, say: The Velocity project currently has no board-level issues at this time. === Community changes === - List new committers, pmc persons, asf members and departures.

We are grateful to Google for supporting this program, Ross and Jukka for administering the Apache organizational efforts and Supun for doing such quality work. No beta or final releases were made since the last board report. - === Velocity Tools project === + The Velocity Tools team released version 2-alpha1 on July 2. Things are going well and we anticipate a new alpha release soon. There have been some significant bugs fixed since 1.3, and the team plans to release a 1.3.1 or 1.4 version, though this has been delayed due to efforts on the 2.x branch. - Summary of new code, releases, activity, or list discussion. - - If no releases, say: - - No beta or final releases were made since the last board report. === Velocity DVSL project === - Summary of new code, releases, activity, or list discussion.

No DVSL development happened in the last month. + DVSL (Declarative Velocity Style Language) is a tool modeled after XSLT and is intended for general XML transformations using the + Velocity Template Language as the templating language for the transformations. + Before releasing DVSL 1.0, the DVSL team fixed an incompatibility between DVSL 0.x and Velocity 1.5 and completed some minor clean up and refactoring. It is not a drop in replacement of DVSL 0.45 since the main package has changed from org.apache.tools.dvsl to org.apache.dvsl. This is the first binary release of DVSL though the code base has been around for some time, + + === Velocity DocBook project === + + There were no changes in the DocBook code base.
