July 2015 Board report

Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model.

Releases

After some discussion at the end of May, we resolved to alter our release process. The new process means we’ll be compromising slightly on OSGi semantic versioning at the bundle level in favour of making the release process simpler and easier to do often.

The following releases have been created with dates they were promoted to maven central:

  • Apache Aries Transaction Manager (transaction-manager) 1.2.0 2015/05/09

  • Apache Aries Parent POM (parent) 2.0.1 2015/06/08

User list activity has decreased over the past few months, whereas the dev@ traffic remains fairly consistent. This may be due to Aries 'library' nature.

There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
