Security:
- We received a vulnerability report against MyFaces Trinidad on July 20th and
responded to the reporter the same day. We released patched versions of
Trinidad 1.2.x, 2.0.x, and 2.1.x on Sept 29th along with CVE-2016-5019.
Issues:
mt asked: Is it time to retire CODI and Orchestra? Also, a quick look at
myfaces.a.o doesn't make it clear that CDI/Deltaspike is the
recommended approach for new users.
There was no comment by the MyFaces PMC on these questions. There was a
trivial contribution for Orchestra on Aug 10th which was applied on Aug
11th, so support is still being provided when requested. My personal
opinion is that it is time to retire these projects, but I do not know of
anyone who is willing to take the time to accomplish these tasks. On Oct
12th, I posted a request for help on the dev@deltaspike and dev@myfaces
lists to see if anyone there would be willing to update the pages for CODI
and Orchestra.
