Releases

No new releases.

Activity

Java Bean Validation v1.1 has been implemented in a branch that successfully passes the TCK. Previous reports have mentioned that BVal awaited the availability of the new Commons [weaver] component, which is mostly baked and should have been released by the time that PMC reports again in December. The PMC must next determine a strategy to finalize its 1.0 API and merge this work with that having been done on the 1.1 branch to release both codebases.

Mailing list traffic continues to be minimal.

Community

A new committer, Romain Manni-Bucau, has been welcomed to the BVal roster. Romain is the driving force behind the implementation of spec v1.1.

Branding

Nothing to report.

No concerns at present.

Infrastructure

Nothing needed at the moment.
