Board, Below is the report due for Tomcat for your board meeting this month. Thank you,
The Tomcat PMC -------------------------------------------------------- Attachment [TBD]: Status report for the Apache Tomcat Project - We have no issues that require attention from the Board at this time Development: - Continued work on Tomcat 6.0 development: we expect to have release 6.0.0 ready roughly at the same time that Servlet Specification v2.5 and JSP Specification v2.1 are finalized. No change here since previous Board report. - Much work has been done on the mod_jk connector, improving reliability, performance, and monitoring options for httpd / mod_jk administrators. It's been great to see the increased level of energy and enthusiasm around the connectors, and the new connector releases have been getting pre-release testing from a number of committers on various platforms. - We've also added a non-blocking HTTPS protocol connector written in Java to provide users with another choice on platforms that handle non-blocking IO threads well. - We're also diversifying release managers: Mark Thomas is the current release manager for Tomcat 4.x, Filip Hanik for Tomcat 5.x, Remy Maucherat for 6.x, and Rainer Jung for the connectors. Releases: - mod_jk 1.2.17 and 1.2.18 were released. 1.2.18 is currently the stable release (it was put out on July 20th). mod_jk 1.2.19 is in the works, expected to release in the first half of September. - Tomcat 4.1.34 was released in the first week of September, and addresses virtually all the issues reported against the previous 4.1 release. - Tomcat 5.5.18 and 5.5.19 were cut, but did not make it into final release: 5.5.20 is in the works. Tomcat 5.5.17 is still the latest stable Tomcat release. People: - No changes since last Board report. -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
