Current Roadmap for future versions of CXF. (this is an ongoing "work in progress", subject to change.)

CXF versions 2.0.x

2.0.13 was the last version of 2.0.x to be released at Apache. It is now considered unsupported. Users are highly encouraged to migrate to newer versions of CXF.

CXF version 2.1.x

2.1.10 was the last version of 2.1.x to be released at Apache. It is now considered unsupported. Users are highly encouraged to migrate to newer versions of CXF.

CXF version 2.2.x

These should just be a bug fix releases for bugs users encounter with 2.2.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 may be back ported from trunk to provide some new functionality to users quicker if it doesn't affect the existing stuff or can enhance some of the new features in 2.2.

CXF version 2.3

New features are being developed here to be released "when ready". Features on the roadmap include:

• JAX-RS 1.1
• JAX-WS 2.2
• SOAP/JMS spec compliance (GSoC project)
• SDO databinding (GSoC project)
• Additional Annotation driven development/configuration

More may be added if people submit new code. If you want something added, please contribute!

Future version

• SOAP/TCP support (GSoC project)
• JiBX databinding (runtime, tooling is lower priority)
• Better Acegi integration
• Update to WS-RM 1.1
• Enhancements to WS-Trust support (STS possibly, SAML2 support through new WSS4J, etc...)
• Other WS-* stuff
