UNDER DEVELOPMENT...

Since our last report in August, the Roller project has been making progress on two fronts: testing the Roller 4.0 release and moving ahead with 1 development and Roller 4.1 development.

Some post graduation work still TBD

Apache Roller graduated back in March and announced graduation and the Apache 0 release candidate testing. And there are two areas where progress is needed: the Roller 3.1 release on April 23, 2007. However, we've still got some work to do. We're still waiting for our JIRA instance to be setup (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-813Image Removed).

We also need to change our downloads page (http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/Roller+DownloadsImage Removed) to make use of Apache Mirrors. We need volunteers to help with these tasks.

Thanks to Vadim Gritsenko we now have a statistics page for Roller.1 release is stalled at RC6 and there is still some post graduation work to be done.

Roller 4.1 development

Roller 4.1 development has been proceeding in the roller_4.1_dev branch. The proposal to externalize user management has been implemented, as has the proposal to add a Tag Data API so other apps can get Roller's tag cloud data.

Apache Roller 4.0 RC9 available for testing

Roller 4.0 is a major new release that upgrades Roller to Jave SE 5, Struts 2, Velocity 1.5 and OpenJPA. This is will be the first release that does not require Hibernate or any other LGPL code to run. We released the first RC on August 11, 2007 (announcement here: http://tinyurl.com/22wq7yImage Removed) and we've been testing RCs ever since. We're now up to RC9 and are hopeful that RC9 or RC10 will be the final.

Apache Roller 3.1 completed, 3.1.1

RC6 ready for testing

We shipped 3.1 on April 23, 2007. A number of significant problems (including an XSS bug) were found and fixed. We are now testing a fix release known as 3.1.1 RC2RC6, made available August 12October 4, 2007 (announcement here: http://tinyurl.com/34dq3lImage Removed).

Community health

Community health is good. Developers and users are active on the mailing lists, reporting bugs, submitting patches and seeking support. WeThere are two very active committers at this time who are very busy with new development, which is good. But we've been having some problems getting new releases tested and voted out the door and getting some of our other tasks done (e.g. getting setup to use the mirrors properly) so we still need to work on community development and growth.New contributors are appearing on the mailing list, submitting patches and detailed bug reports. Hopefully, some of these will show sustained interest and we'll see some committer nominations. difficulties getting 4.0 out the door because committers don't always have time to test each new RC, but on the other hand we are going though the process, fixing bug and the end result will be more solid release.
