The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Source-Release Assembly Descriptor, version 1.0.2.
This is a standardized assembly descriptor for use in the
maven-assembly-plugin. Source-release artifacts are archives which
contain the full project structure (sources only, no build output) that
are the subject of an ASF release vote.
The new version of the descriptor fixes the erroneous exclusion of some
file types like IDE files from the source archive even if those files
are located in the src/ directory tree of a project, i.e. denote actual
project sources (e.g. required for unit testing).
http://maven.apache.org/apache-resource-bundles/apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor/
This new descriptor will eventually be incorporated into the Apache
Parent POM. If you want to try out the source-release descriptor in the
meantime, you can include a configuration like the following:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>

Release 2.9.1 of Apache Lucene java is now available.
This release fixes bugs from 2.9.0, including one serious bug whereby
BooleanQuery could silently fail to retrieve certain matching
documents.
There are also some minor API changes, including a Version parameter
added to QueryParser and contrib Analyzers, so that version dependent
defaults are consistent across classes, as well as un-deprecating of
certain methods (we were too zealous in a few cases!).
Otherwise the changes are all bug fixes and documentation
improvements.
This release is fully compatible with 2.9.0. We strongly recommend
upgrading to 2.9.1 if you are using 2.9.0. Furthermore, because some
additional APIs were deprecated in 2.9.1, to ensure a clean ("JAR drop
in") upgrade to 3.0 you'll need to verify your code compiles against
2.9.1 without deprecation warnings.
See core changes at
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_1/changes/Changes.html and contrib
changes at
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_1/changes/Contrib-Changes.html.
Binary and source distributions are available at
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/
Lucene artifacts are also available in the Maven2 repository at

The Apache Jackrabbit community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta1. The release is available for download at:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.html
See the full release notes below for details about this release.
Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.0-beta1
Introduction
------------
This is a beta release of Apache Jackrabbit 2.0. This release is a fully
compliant implementation of the JCR 2.0 API that was specified by the
Java Specification Request 283 (JSR 283, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283).
However, the beta status of this release means that some parts of the
implementation are not yet ready for normal production use.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
Jackrabbit 2.0 is a major upgrade from the earlier 1.x releases. The most
notable changes in this release are:
* Upgrade to JCR 2.0. This Jackrabbit release implements and is based
on the official JCR 2.0 API. All of the features required by the JSR 283
specification have been implemented.
* Upgrade to Java 5. All of Jackrabbit (except the jcr-tests component)
now requires Java 5 as the base platform. Java 1.4 environments are no
longer supported.
* Removal of deprecated classes and features. Jackrabbit 2.0 is not
backwards compatible with client code that used any classes or features
that had been deprecated during the 1.x release cycle.
* Separate JCR Commons components. Many of the general-purpose JCR
components like JCR-RMI and OCM are now developed and released
separately from the Jackrabbit content repository. See the individual
components for their most recent releases.
* Data store feature enabled in the default repository configuration.
* Full text indexing with Apache Tika. Jackrabbit can now extract and
index the full text content of many new types of documents, including
the Office Open XML files produced by Microsoft Office 2007 and higher.

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Source-Release Assembly Descriptor, version 1.0.1.
This is a standardized assembly descriptor for use in the
maven-assembly-plugin. Source-release artifacts are archives which
contain the full project structure (sources only, no build output) that
are the subject of an ASF release vote.
The new version of the descriptor fixes the erroneous inclusion of some
build output in the source archive. Please see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-446 for more details on the issue.
http://maven.apache.org/apache-resource-bundles/apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor/
This assembly descriptor should be coming to a parent POM near you, and
should eventually be an automatic part of every ASF release. For now, it
has been configured into the release process for Maven projects that
inherit from maven-parent version 14 (also recently released). If you
want to try out the source-release descriptor in the meantime, you can
include a configuration like the following:
<build>

Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools. We wanted something that's simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that's a joy to use. New in Buildr 1.3.5: * Added: Interactive shell (REPL) support * Added: BeanShell as default shell for java projects, bsh is small and it's syntax provides the closest to an interpreted java. The BeanShell console includes a graphical class browser. Shell is named :bsh * Added: Mandriva (urpmi) installation support (with help from Franck Villaume). * Added: BUILDR-56 Download Scala artifacts if not available locally * Added: BUILDR-163 cobertura:check (Marko Sibakov, Daniel Spiewak). * Added: BUILDR-295 Eclipse task: make 'M2_REPO' repository variable configurable * Added: BUILDR-300 Make Eclipse task more configurable (Antoine Toulme, Alex Boisvert) * Change: Upgraded to rubyforge-1.0.5 and net-ssh 2.0.15 * Change: Monkey-Patched FileUtils::sh on JRuby to use POSIX `system` * Change: Updated to Rake 0.8.7, RSpec 1.2.8 and JRuby-openssl 0.5.2. * Change: Updated to easyb 0.9 (Joel Muzzerall) * Change: Updated to TestNG 5.10 * Change: Updated to JRuby 1.3.1 * Fixed: BUILDR-23 Support for setting file mode when packaging (Ittay Dror). * Fixed: BUILDR-278 tasks/*.rake files are loaded after the buildfile (Rhett Sutphin) * Fixed: BUILDR-282 release goal should not strip leading '0' digits from version numbers. * Fixed: BUILDR-289 Improved error message when JAVA_HOME points to an invalid JRE/JDK installation * Fixed: BUILDR-290 Dependencies cannot be downloaded over SSL. * Fixed: BUILDR-291 Local tasks do not support arguments (Ittay Dror). * Fixed: BUILDR-292 Workaround for JRUBY-3381 on FileUtils.mv * Fixed: BUILDR-301 TestNG doesn't report failure if more than one test fails * Fixed: BUILDR-307 Failures are not reported correctly for ScalaTest (Jeremie Lenfant-Engelmann) * Fixed: BUILDR-313 Prevent release with uncommitted_files on Git 1.4.3+ (Alexis Midon) * Fixed: BUILDR-315 Fix Eclipse .classpath for local libraries (Mat Schaffer) * Fixed: BUILDR-304 Referencing an existing package task using the package method fails if the package has a custom filename (Rhett Sutphin) * Fixed: BUILDR-322 When specifying files (instead of directories) as sources for compile task, Buildr uses target directory timestamp only (not compiled output timestamp) * Fixed: BUILDR-324: Regression - baseDir system property is not set when executing tests [Alexis Midon] * Fixed: BUILDR-325: Overriding package spec with classifer doesn't work (Antoine Toulme)

Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 2.2.14 of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache"). This version of Apache is principally a security
and bug fix release. Notably, this version bundles the APR Library
version 1.3.9, which addresses a security concern with the Prefork
and Event MPMs on Solaris 10.
We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available,
and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14 is available for download from:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Apache 2.2 offers numerous enhancements, improvements, and
performance boosts over the 2.0 codebase. For an overview of new
features introduced since 2.0 please see:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html
Please see the CHANGES_2.2 file, linked from the download page, for a
full list of changes. A condensed list, CHANGES_2.2.14 provides the
complete list of changes since 2.2.14. A summary of security
vulnerabilities which were addressed in the previous 2.2.13 and
earlier releases is available:
http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_22.html
Apache HTTP Server 1.3.41 and 2.0.63 legacy releases are also
currently available. See the appropriate CHANGES from the url above.
See the corresponding CHANGES files linked from the download page.
The Apache HTTP Project developers strongly encourage all users to
migrate to Apache 2.2, as only limited maintenance is performed on
these legacy versions.
This release includes the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) version 1.3.9
bundled with the tar and zip distributions. The APR libraries libapr
and libaprutil (and on Win32, libapriconv) must all be updated to
ensure binary compatibility and address many known security and
platform bugs.
This release builds on and extends the Apache 2.0 API. Modules
written for Apache 2.0 will need to be recompiled in order to run
with Apache 2.2, and require minimal or no source code changes.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x/VERSIONING
When upgrading or installing this version of Apache, please bear in
mind that if you intend to use Apache with one of the threaded MPMs
(other than the Prefork MPM), you must ensure that any modules you
will be using (and the libraries they depend on) are thread-safe.
The Felix team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Felix
Web Console version 2.0.0.
The Apache Felix Web Console is a Web Based Management Console for OSGi
Frameworks. See http://felix.apache.org/apache-felix-web-console.html

Another important aspect is that plugins do not need to extend from
AbstractWebConsolePlugin anymore to have the common header and footer
rendered (FELIX-1013).
This release is available from
http://felix.apache.org/site/downloads.cgi and Maven:

The Felix team is pleased to announce the release of Felix Karaf version 1.0.0 This release along with the associated release notes and change log are available from http://felix.apache.org/site/karaf-100.html Apache Felix Karaf is a small OSGi based runtime which provides a lightweight container onto which various components and applications can be deployed. Karaf features: * Hot deployment: Karaf supports hot deployment of OSGi bundles by monitoring jar files inside the [home]/deploy directory. Each time a jar is copied in this folder, it will be installed inside the runtime. You can then update or delete it and changes will be handled automatically. In addition, the Karaf also supports exploded bundles and custom deployers (blueprint and spring ones are included by default). * Dynamic configuration: Services are usually configured through the ConfigurationAdmin OSGi service. Such configuration can be defined in Karaf using property files inside the [home]/etc directory. These configurations are monitored and changes on the properties files will be propagated to the services. * Logging System: using a centralized logging back end supported by Log4J, Karaf supports a number of different APIs (JDK 1.4, JCL, SLF4J, Avalon, Tomcat, OSGi) * Provisioning: Provisioning of libraries or applications can be done through a number of different ways, by which they will be downloaded locally, installed and started. * Native OS integration: Karaf can be integrated into your own Operating System as a service so that the lifecycle will be bound to your Operating System. * Extensible Shell console: Karaf features a nice text console where you can manage the services, install new applications or libraries and manage their state. This shell is easily extensible by deploying new commands dynamically along with new features or applications. * Remote access: use any SSH client to connect to Karaf and issue commands in the console * Security framework based on JAAS * Managing instances: Karaf provides simple commands for managing multiple instances. You can easily create, delete, start and stop instances of Karaf through the console. * Supports the latest OSGi 4.2 containers: Apache Felix Framework 2.0.0 and Eclipse Equinox 3.5 Enjoy! -The Felix team

The Apache PhotArk team is pleased to announce the release of Apache PhotArk M1-incubating. Apache PhotArk will be a complete open source photo gallery application including a content repository for the images, a display piece, an access control layer, and upload capabilities. The idea is to have a rigid design for the content repository with a very flexible display piece. The images in the content repository will be protected with granular access control. PhotArk gallery currently allows you define a set of albums hosted locally, and also allows you to aggregate external albums exposed as feeds (e.g from Flickr or Picassa web) and provides a default web UI for album navigation. For full details about the release and to download the distributions please go to: http://incubator.apache.org/photark/downloads.html Apache PhotArk welcomes your help. Any contribution, including code, testing, contributions to the documentation, or bug reporting is always appreciated. For more information on how to get involved in Apache PhotArk visit the website at: http://incubator.apache.org/photark/ Thank you for your interest in Apache PhotArk! The Apache PhotArk Team. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://lresende.blogspot.com/
As you know, the ASF turned 10 this year — our celebrations kicked off with cake at ApacheCon
Europe this past March. We were thrilled to receive birthday wishes from so many members from
the Apache community from across the world.
Our festivities will continue at ApacheCon US (Oakland, California), where we will be holding
the Big Feather Birthday Bash and related community events during the conference. We anticipate
seeing many of you there!
Some of you are unable to join us in person, but we don't want you to miss out on the fun.
As such, we're inviting our global community to "Raise a Glass to Apache" and celebrate this
landmark event at your own local gathering. Recognizing Apache developers and users as part
of the ASF's 10th Anniversary is very important to us. We want you to join the fun, meet other
Apache enthusiasts, make new friends, put faces to the names behind those emails, and, of
course, engage in all things Apache.
We understand that communities have their own local culture and preferences: you are welcome
to host the type of event best suited to your needs. Preferably, this will take place during
the week of ApacheCon (2-6 November, 2009; the Big Feather Birthday Bash is on Wednesday,
4 November) — your event can be held on any day of that week, at any time of the day or
night that is most convenient for you. Events include but are not limited to:
- Social Gatherings – getting together over coffee, lunch, drinks, or dinner
- Tech Talks – individual or industry presentations given about ASF projects and actvities
- Product Demos – showcasing how Apache technologies are powering creative and robust solutions
- Hackathon – collaborating on Apache code bases with ASF Committers
- MeetUps or GetTogethers – featuring talks or presentations on a specific Apache Project
or activity
- Networking and Job Match – connecting developers with users, employers with potential
hires, clients with contractors/consultants, etc.
Can't wait until ApacheCon? That's OK: we're always up for a celebration, so feel free to
get started as soon as you'd like — you can Raise a Glass to Apache at an upcoming conference
such as the OpenWorld Forum (Paris), SpringOne 2GX (New Orleans), CPOSC 2009 (Harrisburg,
PA), FOSS4G 2009 (Sydney), NLUUG Open Web (Amsterdam), UTOSC 2009 (Sandy, UT), and OSMC 2009
(NĂĽrnberg), among others.
So let's get started! There are three steps to make your event happen:
Step 1: Organize. Decide who will be the host(s)/main point(s) of contact, where the event
will be held, the day and time, the format, and any costs.
Step 2: Publicize. Spread the word to your coworkers, the press, and your friends. Post details
on your event on blogs, mailing lists, event listings, etc. Drive enthusiasm by discussing
the event details to the media and on podcasts. Ask people who will be there to invite other
groups who may be interested.
Step 3: Apprise. Share your goodwill with the Apache community. Wish the ASF a happy anniversary
on the Foundation blog; post photos of your event online; and submit a "MyApache" video tribute
(can be one or more of the following -- 1-2 minutes describing why you love Apache; 1-2 minutes
of your group Raising a Glass to Apache/singing Happy Birthday; 2-5 minutes describing the
cool ways you use ASF technologies ... be sure to mention which Apache projects you use as
well as your results.)
The important thing is to have fun! Get inspired by checking out the ASF's YouTube channel
at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheApacheFoundation. "MyApache" submissions received by 2 October
(midnight US Pacific time/GMT-8) will receive priority consideration to be featured in the
ASF's ApacheWay channel and at the Big Feather Birthday Bash!
A schedule of all confirmed events will be posted on the ApacheCon site. To be included in
the list, please send a copy of your invitation (including the date, time, and location) to
sk@apache.org. I will send you information on how to add your event in the ApacheCon network,
how to submit your "MyApache" tributes, as well as suggestions on how to organize and publicize
your event.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Lucene users,
On behalf of the Lucene dev community (a growing community far larger
than just the committers) I would like to announce the release of
Lucene 2.9.
While we generally try and maintain full backwards compatibility
between major versions, Lucene 2.9 has a variety of breaks that are
spelled out in the 'Changes in backwards compatibility policy' section
of CHANGES.txt.
We recommend that you recompile your application with Lucene 2.9
rather than attempting to “drop” it in. This will alert you to any
issues you may have to fix if you are affected by one of the backward
compatibility breaks. As always, its a really good idea to thoroughly
read CHANGES.txt before upgrading.
Lucene 2.9 comes with a bevy of new features, including:
* Per segment searching and caching (can lead to much faster reopen
among other things)
* Near real-time search capabilities added to IndexWriter
* New Query types
* Smarter, more scalable multi-term queries (wildcard, range, etc)
* A freshly optimized Collector/Scorer API
* Improved Unicode support and the addition of Collation contrib
* A new Attribute based TokenStream API
* A new QueryParser framework in contrib with a core QueryParser
replacement impl included.
* Scoring is now optional when sorting by Field, or using a custom
Collector, gaining sizable performance when scores are not
required.
* New analyzers (PersianAnalyzer, ArabicAnalyzer,
SmartChineseAnalyzer)
* New fast-vector-highlighter for large documents
* Lucene now includes high-performance handling of numeric fields.
Such fields are indexed with a trie structure, enabling simple to
use and much faster numeric range searching without having to
externally pre-process numeric values into textual values.
---
And many, many more features, bug fixes, optimizations, and various
improvements. You can find the full list of changes here:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/changes/Changes.html
Many changes have also occurred in Lucene's Contrib area:
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_9_0/changes/Contrib-Changes.html
Binary and source distributions are available at
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/
Lucene artifacts are also available in the Maven2 repository at
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/lucene/
The Next Release:
The next release will be Lucene 3.0. This should come along shortly,
and will
remove all of the deprecated code in Lucene 2.9. Lucene 3.0 will also
be the
first release to move from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5 as a requirement.
Thanks,
Mark Miller

Apache Portable Runtime 1.3.9 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache Portable Runtime
Project are proud to announce the General Availability of
version 1.3.9 of the APR Apache Portable Runtime library, and
version 1.3.9 of the companion APR-util Apache Portable Utility
library.
The corresponding version 1.2.1 of the companion APR-iconv library,
an alternative portable implementation of the 'iconv' library,
remains current.
APR is available for download from:
http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi
This version of APR is primarily a bug fix release, including
fixes for specific platforms' configuration, feature detection,
and run time behavior. Most developers and users are encouraged
to adopt the latest APR 1.x version to ensure the most comprehensive
support and access to the latest features and enhancements.
Note that the APR library release 1.3.8 introduced security fixes,
users of prior versions are strongly cautioned to upgrade to a later
release.
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime Project is to create
and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and
consistent interface to underlying platform-specific
implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to
which software developers may code and be assured of predictable
if not identical behavior regardless of the platform on which
their software is built, relieving them of the need to code
special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of
platform-specific deficiencies or features.
APR and its companion libraries are implemented entirely in C
and provide a common programming interface across a wide variety
of operating system platforms without sacrificing performance.
Currently supported platforms include:
UNIX variants
Windows
Netware
Mac OS X
OS/2
To give a brief overview, the primary core
subsystems of APR 1.3 include the following:
Atomic operations
Dynamic Shared Object loading
File I/O
Locks (mutexes, condition variables, etc)
Memory management (high performance allocators)
Memory-mapped files
Multicast Sockets
Network I/O
Shared memory
Thread and Process management
Various data structures (tables, hashes, priority queues, etc)
For a more complete list, please refer to the following URLs:
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/modules.html
http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr-util/modules.html
Users of APR 0.9 should be aware that migrating to the APR 1.x
programming interfaces may require some adjustments; APR 1.x is
neither source nor binary compatible with earlier APR 0.9 releases.
Users of APR 1.x can expect consistent interfaces and binary
backwards compatibility throughout the entire APR 1.x release
cycle, as defined in our versioning rules:
http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html
APR is already used extensively by the Apache HTTP Server
version 2 and the Subversion revision control system, to
name but a few. We list all known projects using APR at
http://apr.apache.org/projects.html -- so please let us know
if you find our libraries useful in your own projects!
The Apache Jackrabbit community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 alpha1. The release is available for download
at:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.html
See the full release notes below for details about this release.
Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.0-alpha11
Introduction
------------
This is an alpha release of Apache Jackrabbit 2.0. This release implements
a pre-release version of the JCR 2.0 API, specified by the Java Specification
Request 283 (JSR 283, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283).
The purpose of this alpha release is to allow people to test and review
the new Jackrabbit and JCR 2.0 features before they are finalized. Feedback
to both the Jackrabbit project and the JSR 283 expert group is highly
appreciated. Note that an alpha release is not expected to be feature-complete
or otherwise suitable for production use.
Changes in this release
-----------------------
Jackrabbit 2.0 is a major upgrade from the earlier 1.x releases. The most
notable changes in this release are:
* Upgrade to JCR 2.0. This Jackrabbit release implements and is based
on a pre-release version of the JCR 2.0 API. All of the features
required by the JSR 283 specification have been implemented.
* Upgrade to Java 5. All of Jackrabbit (except the jcr-tests component)
now requires Java 5 as the base platform. Java 1.4 environments are no
longer supported.
* Removal of deprecated classes and features. Jackrabbit 2.0 is not
backwards compatible with client code that used any classes or features
that had been deprecated during the 1.x release cycle.
* Separate JCR Commons components. Many of the general-purpose JCR
components like JCR-RMI and OCM are now developed and released
separately from the Jackrabbit content repository. See the individual
components for their most recent releases.
* Data store feature enabled in the default repository configuration.
* Full text indexing with Apache Tika. Jackrabbit can now extract and
index the full text content of many new types of documents, including
the Office Open XML files produced by Microsoft Office 2007 and higher.
For more detailed information about all the changes in this and other
Jackrabbit releases, please see the Jackrabbit issue tracker at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR
Release Contents
----------------
This release consists of a single source archive packaged as a jar file.
The archive can be unpacked with the jar tool from your JDK installation.
See the README.txt file for instructions on how to build this release.
The source archive is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP
signature that you can use to verify the authenticity of your download.
The public key used for the PGP signature can be found at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/dist/KEYS.

The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce the release of HttpComponents HttpCore 4.1-alpha1. This is the first public release from the 4.1 branch of HttpCore. This release adds a number of new features, most notable being introduction of compatibility mode with IBM JREs and other JREs with naive (broken) implementation of SelectionKey API. Please note that new classes and methods added in this release are still considered API unable and may change in the future releases. Download - <http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi> Release notes - <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpcore/RELEASE_NOTES.txt> HttpComponents site - <http://hc.apache.org/> About HttpComponents Core - HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO. The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner.
The Felix team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Felix
