* Betwixt
Betwixt is a bean <-> xml binder. Jakarta Commons Betwixt 0.6 featured a
refactored codebase including rewriting bean reading code but preserved
backwards compatibility with the earlier releases. A 0.6.1 release (with more
functionality and some bug fixes) is expected soon.
- Betwixt is small component closely related to several other commons
components. The Betwixt commonity is very happy in the commons.

Efforts have been made to improve stability on various operating systems.
A Commons-Daemon 1.1 release is
forthcoming, most likely in early 2005.
- * Email (comment needed on promotion)
+ * Email
+ A few very enthusiastic volunteers have helped re-energize Commons Email.
Extensive unit tests were submitted via Bugzilla, a few lingering bugs were
cleared up and documentation was extended. This activity led to a successful
vote for promotion from the Sandbox.
+
+ In preparation for the promotion, it was realized that there was an issue
with the [http://quintanasoft.com/dumbster/ Dumbster] library, which is used
for unit tests and which was only available under the LGPL license. When this
was brought up with the developer of Dumbster, he agreed to change his license
to ASF 2.0.
+
+ A vote on a 1.0 release is likely to be called soon after the promotion
is completed.
+
* HttpClient
HttpClient has entered the 3.0 beta stage. The API is now frozen unless
major problems are discovered. We hope to have a final 3.0 release by the end
of 2004 or early 2005.
