INCOMPLETE DRAFT

Since our last report in November the Roller project has been making progress on two fronts: Roller 4.0 and Roller 4.1. Community is healthy, though we have seen some slow-down in mailing list activity. Here are the details.

...

Roller 4.0 is a major new release that upgrades Roller to Jave SE 5, Struts 2, Velocity 1.5 and OpenJPA. It's the first release that does not require Hibernate or any other LGPL code to run. It was released on December 5, 2007 and announced on the Roller mailing lists and the project blog.

We've made enough bug fixes in the Roller 4.0 branch that it's probably time to start thinking about a bug 4.0.1 bug fix release. Here's the list of issues fixed for 4.0.1

Roller 4.1 development, now in trunk

Roller 4.1 development is underway and since the Roller 4.0 release, we have merged the work into the trunk.
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 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 RC6, made available October 4, 2007 (announcement here: http://tinyurl.com/ynmrtj^{Image Removed}).

Some post graduation work still TBD

...

Apache Roller graduated back in March and announced graduation and the Apache 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-813^{Image Removed}).
