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/22wq7y^{Image 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/34dq3l^{Image Removed}ynmrtj).

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}).

Thanks to Vadim Gritsenko we now have a statistics page for Roller
