Apache HTTP Server 1.3.42 Released
The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.42 of the Apache HTTP
Server ("Apache"). This release is intended as the final release of
version 1.3 of the Apache HTTP Server, which has reached end of life
status.
There will be no more full releases of Apache HTTP Server 1.3.
However, critical security updates may be made available from the
following website:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/
Our thanks go to everyone who has helped make Apache HTTP Server 1.3
the most successful, and most used, webserver software on the planet!
This Announcement notes the significant changes in
1.3.42 as compared to 1.3.41.
This version of Apache is is principally a bug and security fix release.
The following moderate security flaw has been addressed:
* CVE-2010-0010 (cve.mitre.org)
mod_proxy: Prevent chunk-size integer overflow on platforms
where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long). Reported by Adam Zabrocki.
Please see the CHANGES_1.3.42 file in this directory for a full list
of changes for this version.
Apache 1.3.42 is the final stable release of the Apache 1.3 family. We
strongly recommend that users of all earlier versions, including 1.3
family releases, upgrade to to the current 2.2 version as soon as possible.
For information about how to upgrade, please see the documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html
Apache 1.3.42 is available for download from
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
This service utilizes the network of mirrors listed at:
http://www.apache.org/mirrors/
Binary distributions may be available for your specific platform from
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/
Binaries distributed by the Apache HTTP Server Project are provided as a
courtesy by individual project contributors. The project makes no
commitment to release the Apache HTTP Server in binary form for any
particular platform, nor on any particular schedule.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS
variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or
OS2) will function for some applications, Apache 1.3 is not designed for
these platforms. Apache 2 was designed from the ground up for security,
stability, or performance issues across all modern operating systems.
Users of any non-Unix ports are strongly cautioned to move to Apache 2.
The Apache project no longer distributes non-Unix platform binaries from
the main download pages for Apache 1.3. If absolutely necessary, a binary
may be available at http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/.

The Apache UIMA development community is pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.0 of UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture). Apache UIMA is a framework supporting combining and reusing components that annotate unstructured information content such as text, audio, and video. This release consists of 4 packages: - UIMA Java SDK - the base framework, with development tools and examples - UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scalout capability) - UIMACPP (c++ support framework, for components written in c++ and other languages) - UIMA Addons - a growing set of annotators and other tools. This release is generally backwards compatable with previous releases, except that Java 5 is now the minimum Java level required. The add-ons package contains many new components and annotators, including: - Bean Scripting Framework supporting annotators written in popular scripting languages - Lucas - an interface to using UIMA with Apache Lucene - TikaAnnotator - an annotator using the Apache Tika project text extractors The UIMA-AS (Asynchronous Scaleout) framework is extensively enhanced with much more support for error/failure recovery, driven by feedback from actual use in several large scale deployments (1000's of nodes). The base framework now supports Java 5 generics, and is enhanced to make it even more light-weight and efficient; for example, it now supports a new network serialization format for communicating with remote annotators using a "delta-CAS" - limiting the response sent to just those items which have changed. Full information and summaries of the changes are contained in the release notes, which you can find on our downloads page - scroll down to the 2.3.0 release section, and click on the package of interest in the release notes column. Apache UIMA welcomes your help. Any contribution (code, testing, documentation, bug reporting/fixing) is always appreciated.

The Apache Jackrabbit community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Jackrabbit 2.0.0. 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 2.0.0
Introduction
------------
This is Apache Jackrabbit 2.0.0, a fully compliant and production-ready
implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API, version 2.0
(JCR 2.0, http://jcp.org/en/jsr/summary?id=283).
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. Note that the remote
access layers (RMI and WebDAV) only support a subset of JCR 2.0.
* 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.
* Separate JCR Commons components. Many of the general-purpose JCR
components like OCM are now developed and released separately from
the Jackrabbit content repository. See the individual components
for their most recent releases.
* Database connection pooling is now available for all database backends.
Non-pooled versions of the bundle persistence managers are still
available in the org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle package.
To enable connection pooling in an existing Jackrabbit repository,
replace the package name with org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.pool
in your repository and workspace configuration files.
* 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.
* Apache Commons Collections, Apache Derby, Jetty, SLF4J and Apache Xerces
dependencies have been upgraded to more recent versions.
* OracleFileSystem class does not use special blob handling anymore as it
is not required for Oracle versions since 10R1. Use the Oracle9FileSystem
class if you need support for Oracle 9 or earlier.
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
Backwards compatiblity
----------------------
Jackrabbit 2.0 is designed to be compatible with existing Jackrabbit
1.x clients and repositories. The main exceptions to this goal are:
* Removal of deprecated classes and features. Jackrabbit 2.0 is not
backwards compatible with client code that used classes or features
that had been deprecated during the 1.x release cycle. Most notably
the temporary org.apache.jackrabbit.api.jsr283 interfaces have been
removed in favor of the official JCR 2.0 API in javax.jcr.
* Repositories that have used the new JSR 283 security features included
as a development preview in Jackrabbit 1.5 and 1.6 may face problems
when upgrading to Jackrabbit 2.0. See especially JCR-1944 and JCR-2313
for more details.
* The JCR-RMI layer no longer implements the Jackrabbit API extensions.
Code that uses JCR-RMI with distributed transactions or for administration
operations like creating workspaces or registering node types needs to
be updated accordingly.
* The JCR-RMI layer in Jackrabbit 2.0 only supports JCR 2.0 repositories.
To access a JCR 1.0 repository implementation like Jackrabbit 1.x over
RMI, you need to use the 1.x versions of JCR-RMI.
Please contact the Jackrabbit user mailing list or issue tracker for more
information on how to handle the upgrade if you face some of these issues.

Leading Open Source Email Filtering Package Offers First Major Code Release Since 2007
FOREST HILL, MD – 26 January, 2010 – The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) today announced
the release of Apache SpamAssassin 3.3.0, the first major code release from the Apache SpamAssassin
Project since May 2007. Apache SpamAssassin v3.3.0 marks the Project's 4th major (and 24th
overall release) since the SpamAssassin Project joined the ASF in December 2003.
Apache SpamAssassin is an award winning, mature, wide-spectrum, extensible email filtering
package deployed by hundreds of thousands of organizations world-wide.
"Apache SpamAssassin is the leading Open Source email spam filtering software package that
is in use by national, regional and local ISPs, email service providers, Fortune Global 500
companies, small to
enterprise businesses, all levels of the education sector, governments and private individuals,"
said Daryl C. W. O'Shea, Chair of the Apache SpamAssassin Project Management Committee (PMC)
and Information Technology Coordinator at the Township of Tay in Ontario, Canada. "SpamAssassin
is also in use at the core of many commercial offerings of premier email and spam filtering
firms: with its automatic update feature, sa-update, SpamAssassin now not only saves the time
of end-users, it saves the time of email administrators, further increasing the software's
ROI. We're very proud that SpamAssassin has become the standard for extensible and effective
spam filtering software."
Apache SpamAssassin 3.3.0 represents a major shift in how SpamAssassin rules (the actual patterns
that help to identify spam) are updated. Starting with version 3.3.0, rules are now separate
from the core product and are instead downloaded using "sa-update", SpamAssassin's automatic
update software. This method was optional with the 3.2.x series of releases and has proven
to be very popular.
SpamAssassin provides a comprehensive set of features and support for methods and standards
such as text based patterns, bayesian scoring, DNS based black and white lists, DKIM and SPF
sender authentication, and email signature clearing houses. The software utilizes a principle
of identifying multiple reasons for classifying an email as spam to improve accuracy and decrease
the chance of legitimate emails being incorrectly identified as spam.
Les Tutkaluke, President of netGUARD Solutions said, "NetGUARD Solutions has been utilizing
SpamAssassin for 8 years starting with version 1.0. The advanced e-mail scanning functions
within the processing engines of netGUARD Solutions manages in excess of 75 million messages
per day for our vast customer subscriber base. SpamAssassin is an integral and admirable addition
to our filtering system and is a significant part of the accurate identification of unwanted
e-mail. The success of netGUARD Solutions is directly tied to SpamAssassin and the solid programming
within it."
"Over the past 365 days, SpamAssassin has blocked 516,975 unsolicited junk mails while letting
through 85,032 clean ones. Without SpamAssassin email would simply be unusable. It is an essential
component to our business activities," said Jean-Yves Avenard, SysAdmin at Hydrix Pty Ltd,
Australia.
Released under the Apache Software Licence v2.0, Apache SpamAssassin 3.3.0 can be downloaded
at http://spamassassin.apache.org/; additional user reviews and industry testimonials are
available at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Testimonials

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 CVE-2009-2901: Apache Tomcat insecure partial deploy after failed undeploy Severity: Low Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Tomcat 5.5.0 to 5.5.28 Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.20 The unsupported Tomcat 3.x, 4.x and 5.0.x versions may be also affected. Description: By default, Tomcat automatically deploys any directories placed in a host's appBase. This behaviour is controlled by the autoDeploy attribute of a host which defaults to true. After a failed undeploy, the remaining files will be deployed as a result of the autodeployment process. Depending on circumstances, files normally protected by one or more security constraints may be deployed without those security constraints, making them accessible without authentication. Mitigation: 6.0.x users should upgrade to 6.0.24 or apply this patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=892815&view=rev 5.5.x users should upgrade to 5.5.29 when released or apply this patch: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=902650&view=rev Note: the patches also address CVE-2009-2693 and CVE-2009-2902. Alternatively, users of all Tomcat versions may mitigate this issue by manually ensuring that an undeploy removes all files. If one or more files cannot be deleted, it may be necessary to stop Tomcat before the files can be deleted.

In addition, the Project announced the release of Apache Pivot 1.4, the fourth update since joining the Apache Incubator in January 2009. Apache Pivot is a platform for building rich Internet applications (RIAs) in Java. It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern RIA toolkit with the robustness of the industry-standard Java platform. Pivot provides a foundation upon which sophisticated and engaging applications can be easily built and deployed over the Web. Because Pivot applications are written in Java, they can take full advantage of the comprehensive feature set and extensive industry support of the Java platform. "Users have much higher expectations for Web applications now than they did 10 years ago," said Greg Brown, Chair of the Apache Pivot Project Management Committee (PMC) and Principal Consultant at Cantina Consulting. "This is why we're seeing tools like Flex and Silverlight beginning to gain traction; however, both of these require developers who are otherwise happy using Java to switch technologies. Pivot is an attempt to create a modern, rich client development platform in Java." Pivot provides a comprehensive set of standard user interface elements ranging from simple buttons to editable tree and table controls. It also includes a number of features that significantly simplify development of modern GUI applications, including an XML markup language for declaring the structure of a user interface, data binding, animated effects and transitions, and Web services integration. "I've tried the demos and I was stunned," said Pivot user Trelieux Einagen. "The framework uses easy to understand markup for the applet front end while at the same time taking advantage of the power of Java for business logic and server side processing...I think the Java community in general is fortunate enough to have those guys at Pivot stand up and build something that can actually compete RIGHT NOW with the likes of Flash/Flex and Microsoft Silverlight/WPF without losing your sanity." Pivot user Scott Lanham said, "The current default theme has a nice clean look and feel...I am impressed with the good selection of widgets. They appear to cover just about every need of an application...Well done with Pivot!" "Thank you guys with coming up with Pivot," said Java developer and Pivot user N. Forbes. "Java really, really needs a smooth, coherent RIA next generation framework to 'seriously' compete with the likes of Flex and SilverLight/WPF...I saw someone comment on the Pivot Framework that it leverages existing Java skills to make the transition to the framework as seamless as possible. I looked at the source code and screamed out in joy: you guys may actually end up bailing out the Java RIA from pure academic obscurity and back into the more popular sphere of mind."

http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.html
See the full release notes below for details about this release.
Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 2.0-beta6
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.
* Database connection pooling is now available for all database backends.
Non-pooled versions of the bundle persistence managers are still
available in the org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle package.
To enable connection pooling in an existing Jackrabbit repository,
replace the package name with org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.pool
in your repository and workspace configuration files.
* 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.
* Apache Commons Collections, Apache Derby, Jetty, SLF4J and Apache Xerces
dependencies have been upgraded to more recent versions.
* OracleFileSystem class does not use special blob handling anymore as it
is not required for Oracle versions since 10R1. Use the Oracle9FileSystem
class if you need support for Oracle 9 or earlier.

Jackrabbit releases, please see the Jackrabbit issue tracker at

The following notice has been sent by Daryl C.W. O'Shea, VP of Apache SpamAssassin --
I've posted the following note on the Apache SpamAssassin website [1] about an issue with
a rule that may cause wanted email to be classified as spam by SpamAssassin. If you're running
SpamAssassin 3.2.x you are encouraged to update you rules (updates were released on sa-update
around 1900 UTC Jan 1, 2010).
Y2K10 Rule Bug - Update Your Rules Now!
2010-01-01:
Versions of the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX [2] rule released with versions of Apache SpamAssassin 3.2.0
thru 3.2.5 will trigger on most mail with a Date header that includes the year 2010 or later.
The rule will add a score of up to 3.6 towards the spam classification of all email. You
should take corrective action immediately; there are two easy ways to correct the problem:
1) If your system is configured to use sa-update [3] run sa-update now. An update is available
that will correct the rule. No further action is necessary (other than restarting spamd or
any service that uses SpamAssassin directly).
2) Add "score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0" without the quotes to the end of your local.cf file to
disable the rule. If you require help updating your rules to correct this issue you are encouraged
to ask for assistance on the Apache SpamAssassin Users' list. Users' mailing list info is
here. [4]
On behalf of the Apache SpamAssassin project I apologize for this error and the grief it may
have caused you.

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Parent
POM, version 7.
This POM provides a base configuration for ASF projects build with
Apache Maven [0]. Besides some updated plugin versions, the most
interesting change in this version of the POM is the inclusion of a
configuration for the Maven Assembly Plugin to produce ASF-compliant
source distributions. Please see [1] for a detailed diff to the previous
version.
In more detail, the Assembly Plugin configuration for the source
distribution is part of the profile "apache-release" that was already
introduced in version 6 of the parent POM. This configuration creates a
ZIP archive containing the project's sources at the root module of the
release process.
Projects with different needs regarding the source distribution and/or
release process have the following options:
a) Create a custom assembly descriptor (see [2]) for the source
distribution and set the POM property "sourceReleaseAssemblyDescriptor"
to its name.
b) Disable the predefined execution "source-release-assembly" of the
Assembly Plugin via the following POM snippet:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>source-release-assembly</id>
<configuration>
<skipAssembly>true</skipAssembly>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
c) Configure the Maven Release Plugin to use another release profile
than the predefined "apache-release" via something like this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-9</version>
<configuration>
<arguments>-Pcustom-release</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin
Note: Version 2.2-beta-5 of the Maven Assembly Plugin is required for
proper creation of the source distribution. Please be sure to check the
plugin version used is not locked down to an older version in some of
your downstream POMs.
Use the following snippet to inherit from this POM for your Maven
managed projects:
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache</groupId>
<artifactId>apache</artifactId>
<version>7</version>
</parent>
Enjoy,
-The Maven team

Each individual JAR is accompanied by a -sources.jar. Two new maven modules were added poi-ooxml-schemas
and poi-examples.
* Program elements intended for POI internal use only are annotated @Internal.
These may be removed or access changed from 'public' to 'default' or less in future versions
of POI.

About Log4PHP
-------------
Log4php is logging framework for PHP undergoing incubation at the Apache
Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Logging Services project.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF
projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has
yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
log4php supports:
* Configuration through xml and properties file (same structure as
log4j).
* File, RollingFile, DailyFile, Echo, Console, Mail, PDO, PHP error,
Syslog or NT events and Socket appenders.
* Simple, TTCC, Pattern, Html and Xml Layouts.
* Nested (NDC) and Mapped (MDC) Diagnostic Contexts.

The Apache Jackrabbit community is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Jackrabbit 2.0 beta4. 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-beta4
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.
* Database connection pooling is now available for all database backends.
* 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
