Apache Geronimo Board Report

The Apache Geronimo Project has released Geronimo 2.0.1 in August. Our initial attempt to release 2.0 was aborted due to a late discovery of a security problem. Given that the release was in process we simply aborted 2.0 and corrected the problem and released as 2.0.1.

Releases

Geronimo
2.0.1 was released in August
2.0.2 is in process for release in mid-October.

Much of current trunk development is concerned with improving runtime server modularity. We are also working to provide "prepackaged" integrations of other apache projects running in Geronimo, including Roller and Apache Directory.
