Tomcat to Apache Tomcat, the next quarter should see this being reflected on
the website, mailing lists etc. </p>

+<p>Last quarter saw a kickstart of the dormant BCEL subproject, which has seen
some minor improvements. Oversight is improved, bugs are being fixed and some
planning of the BCEL future has occurred. </p>

Various proposals for Commons components and the Taglibs subproject are the
impetus. </p>

+
+<p>(based on projects that have had a notable event, ie) release, change of
location within Jakarta) </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Configuration</u>
+
+<p>The 1.1 release of Configuration contains a couple of bug fixes and
introduces some new features like web configurations, optional configurations,
or basic reloading support. In the future we plan to further enhance these
features and to perform some refactoring. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Daemon</u>
+
+<p>Daemon had release 1.0.1, after more than a year after 1.0.0. Stop and wait
(until started) features have been added; Known bugs have been fixed. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Digester</u>
+
+<p>Digester had release 1.7, about 9 months after 1.6. The changes are pretty
small; Digester is now a very stable library. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-HttpClient</u>
+
+<p>3.0 RC2 fixed a number of bugs and we will be having one more RC release
shortly as a few more have popped up. Jakarta HttpClient is starting to come
together in SVN. This work has been lead by Oleg Kalinchevski and it's looking
really good. HttpClient 4.0 should prove to be a really flexible, reusable,
and powerful release. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Jelly</u>
+
+<p>The previous release of Jelly had proven to be stable for several months,
and after the memory leak was corrected and underwent sufficient testing, it
was decided to release version 1.0 as a stable base on June 16. This is the
first stable release of Jelly. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Lang</u>
+
+<p>Lang 2.1 was released. It contains several bug fixes, a package name change
for compatiblity with JDK 1.5, a new mutables package, and several new utility
classes and methods. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Logging</u>
+
+<p>No release yet, but work continues on commons-logging. Hopefully a new
release will be out within the next few months to address the long-term user
complaints about classloader issues when using commons-logging in containers.
</p>
+
+<u>Commons-Net</u>
+
+<p>Commons-Net 1.4.0 was released which contains a brand new date handling
mechanism. It also now contains an FTP parser for MVS, and the variety of date
formats which the FTP client can handle has been extended. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Transaction</u>
+
+<p>Transaction had a final 1.1 which includes new features like deadlock
detection, more locking types and fixing of some oddities from 1.0. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-VFS</u>
+
+<p>This is the first Board Report with VFS out of sandbox. The decision to cut
a release now has been delayed as a bug report uncovered a problem with
filename encoding which needs to be solved. </p>
+
+<u>HiveMind</u>
+
+<p>HiveMind 1.1 has reached its first beta release; in addition, we've
switched over to Subversion for source code control. We're in the process of
voting in a new commiter, Achim Hugen. </p>
+
+<u>Tapestry</u>
+
+<p>The upcoming release has been renumbered from 3.1 to 4.0. We have released
additional alpha releases of 4.0 and are very close to a first beta release,
which will include portlet support and JDK 1.5 annotation support. Meanwhile,
the 3.0.3 bug fix release closed an annoying security gap. </p>
+
+<u>Tomcat</u>
+
+<p>This has been an active quarter for Tomcat. Work has been focused on the
5.5 branch, which had several releases targeted at increased reliability,
performance, documentation, and bug fixing. The 5.5.9 release was voted stable
in mid-April, and has been gathering good reviews from users since then: in
fact, no significant issues have been found with it. </p>
+
+<p>In May, the Apache Software Foundation's Board of Directors also approved
the Tomcat team' request to be moved out of Jakarta into its own top-level
project. Accordingly, this is the last Jakarta board report which will include
Tomcat: watch for the Tomcat PMC to address its own reports to the board as
required by foundation bylaws. The Tomcat team would like to thank the Jakarta
community for its outstanding support over the years: we plan to continue
working together tightly on issues and projects of mutual interest. </p>
+
+<u>Velocity</u>
+
+<p>Migration from Bugzilla to Jira approved. OSGi packaging contributed for
Velocity core. </p>

+<p>(based on projects that have had a notable event, ie) release, change of
location within Jakarta) </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Configuration</u>
+
+<p>The 1.1 release of Configuration contains a couple of bug fixes and
introduces some new features like web configurations, optional configurations,
or basic reloading support. In the future we plan to further enhance these
features and to perform some refactoring. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Daemon</u>
+
+<p>Daemon had release 1.0.1, after more than a year after 1.0.0. Stop and wait
(until started) features have been added; Known bugs have been fixed. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Digester</u>
+
+<p>Digester had release 1.7, about 9 months after 1.6. The changes are pretty
small; Digester is now a very stable library. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-HttpClient</u>
+
+<p>3.0 RC2 fixed a number of bugs and we will be having one more RC release
shortly as a few more have popped up. Jakarta HttpClient is starting to come
together in SVN. This work has been lead by Oleg Kalinchevski and it's looking
really good. HttpClient 4.0 should prove to be a really flexible, reusable,
and powerful release. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Jelly</u>
+
+<p>The previous release of Jelly had proven to be stable for several months,
and after the memory leak was corrected and underwent sufficient testing, it
was decided to release version 1.0 as a stable base on June 16. This is the
first stable release of Jelly. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Lang</u>
+
+<p>Lang 2.1 was released. It contains several bug fixes, a package name change
for compatiblity with JDK 1.5, a new mutables package, and several new utility
classes and methods. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Logging</u>
+
+<p>No release yet, but work continues on commons-logging. Hopefully a new
release will be out within the next few months to address the long-term user
complaints about classloader issues when using commons-logging in containers.
</p>
+
+<u>Commons-Net</u>
+
+<p>Commons-Net 1.4.0 was released which contains a brand new date handling
mechanism. It also now contains an FTP parser for MVS, and the variety of date
formats which the FTP client can handle has been extended. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-Transaction</u>
+
+<p>Transaction had a final 1.1 which includes new features like deadlock
detection, more locking types and fixing of some oddities from 1.0. </p>
+
+<u>Commons-VFS</u>
+
+<p>This is the first Board Report with VFS out of sandbox. The decision to cut
a release now has been delayed as a bug report uncovered a problem with
filename encoding which needs to be solved. </p>
+
+<u>HiveMind</u>
+
+<p>HiveMind 1.1 has reached its first beta release; in addition, we've
switched over to Subversion for source code control. We're in the process of
voting in a new commiter, Achim Hugen. </p>
+
+<u>Tapestry</u>
+
+<p>The upcoming release has been renumbered from 3.1 to 4.0. We have released
additional alpha releases of 4.0 and are very close to a first beta release,
which will include portlet support and JDK 1.5 annotation support. Meanwhile,
the 3.0.3 bug fix release closed an annoying security gap. </p>
+
+<u>Tomcat</u>
+
+<p>This has been an active quarter for Tomcat. Work has been focused on the
5.5 branch, which had several releases targeted at increased reliability,
performance, documentation, and bug fixing. The 5.5.9 release was voted stable
in mid-April, and has been gathering good reviews from users since then: in
fact, no significant issues have been found with it. </p>
+
+<p>In May, the Apache Software Foundation's Board of Directors also approved
the Tomcat team' request to be moved out of Jakarta into its own top-level
project. Accordingly, this is the last Jakarta board report which will include
Tomcat: watch for the Tomcat PMC to address its own reports to the board as
required by foundation bylaws. The Tomcat team would like to thank the Jakarta
community for its outstanding support over the years: we plan to continue
working together tightly on issues and projects of mutual interest. </p>
+
+<u>Velocity</u>
+
+<p>Migration from Bugzilla to Jira approved. OSGi packaging contributed for
Velocity core. </p>
