Current Roadmap for future versions of CXF. (this is an ongoing "work in progress", subject to change.)
CXF versions 2.0.x
These should just be a bug fix releases for bugs users encounter with 2.0.x versions. These will be done on a branch by selectively merging fixes from trunk/2.1.x on an as-needed basis. For the most part, there would be fixes for:
- XFire migration issues
- Any interopability issues
- Critical show stoppers
- etc....
In general, 2.0.x releases occur about every 12 weeks.
CXF version 2.1.x
These should just be a bug fix releases for bugs users encounter with 2.1.x versions. These will be done on a branch by selectively merging fixes from trunk on an as-needed basis. For the most part, there would be fixes for:
- XFire migration issues
- Any interopability issues
- Critical show stoppers
- etc....
However, some new features have been back ported from the 2.2 branch (trunk) to provide some new functionality to users quicker. These include: - Continuations
- True asynchronous client requests
- Request/Response contexts for simple frontend clients and Dynamic clients
- New spring based JMS transport
In general, 2.1.x releases occur about every 8 weeks.
CXF version 2.2
New features are being developed here to be released "when ready". The current plan is in Q1/09, but subject to slippage if we the features aren't releasable. Features on the roadmap include:
- JAX-RS 1.0 support
- WS-SecurityPolicy support
- WS-Trust support
- WS-SecureConversation support
Future version - some will likely go into 2.2
- XmlBeans tooling (wsdl2java support)
- JiBX databinding (runtime, tooling is lower priority)
- Better Acegi integration
- Other WS-* stuff
