Hi, Here's an updated draft with PMC feedback. Take a day or two to comment if you'd like: I'm aiming to send this in to the Board by 5pm EST tomorrow (Monday).
Yoav --- Begin Draft --- Apache Tomcat Board Report, December 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Issues requiring the Board's attention: none. Development ------------------ Work continues apache on Tomcat 6 and the mod_jk connector. Both products have done multiple alpha- and beta-level releases since the last Board report. Both have received increased testing from the committers as well as outside contributors, resulting in some interesting issues discovered and addressed. We hope to have a stable mod_jk release, 1.2.20, in the next week or two, and the first stable Tomcat 6 release before the next Board report. Several of the fixes found in Tomcat 6 have been back-ported to Tomcat 5.x as well, but there has been no 5.x release since 5.5.20 in September. Community ---------------- Not much going on here: no new committers, no new PMC members, but no one resigning or leaving either ;) Security ------------ On December 7th a possible security issue was reported to us by the Struts PMC, which had been notified of it earlier. After some discussion, we concluded this was a fairly minor issue with responsibility on both the Tomcat and Struts sides. There was a patch available in SVN within a day or so, and it was back-ported to previous Tomcat branches as well. Because the issue has yet to be publicly announced and this Board report may become public before the issue is announced, we are omitting the actual details here. The Tomcat PMC will be glad to provide any details required, and the discussions are archived on the mailing list archives of [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- End Draft --- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
