The log4j developers are pleased to announce that the Board of
Directors of the Apache Software Foundation unanimously passed a
resolution for the creation of the Apache Logging Services project. A
copy of the resolution can be found at:
The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language
logging services for purposes of application debugging and
auditing. The discussions leading to the submission of this resolution
can be found at:
We should also mention that thanks to the relentless efforts of many developers and in particular those of Scott Deboy, we currently have inter-operability between the following projects:
There is still much work ahead bringing in the various projects to work together within the Logging Services Project. The process is likely to take a little while. In the mean time, we will continue to do what we like best, that is developing open source software. 18 December 2003 - Apache Ant 1.6.0 ReleasedThe Apache Ant Team and Apache Software Foundation are happy to announce that Apache Ant 1.6.0 is now available.

For more information see here. 20 November 2003 - Incubated-JaxMe 0.2 ReleasedJaxMe is an incubated subproject under the sponsorship of the Apache Software Foundation's (ASF) Web 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.
14 November 2003 - Apache Cocoon 2.1.3 ReleasedThe Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release of Apache Cocoon. This new release is a major maintenance release focusing on minor improvements and bug fixes. Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web RAD. Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where these components can be hooked together into pipelines without requiring further programming. We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides, improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts. For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.1.3, please go to the Apache Cocoon website 31 October 2003 - Apache Axis C++ v1.0 (Alpha) ReleasedApache Axis C++ Team is proud to announce the release of Apache Axis C++ v1.0 (Alpha). This implementation of a C++ SOAP engine provides a stable platform for developing Web services using C/C++ as well as a client side library for developing C/C++ client applications. This release includes the following features:
Both binary and source are available at Apache mirror sites: We invite all interested Web services developers and users to evaluate Axis C++ and give us feedback and help improve Axis C++ to be the best C/C++ SOAP engine. Please direct user questions to axis-user@ws.apache.org and any bug reports, patches, suggestions for improvement etc. to axis-dev@ws.apache.org. The Axis C++ Development Team. 30 October 2003 - Apache Xalan Java 2.5.2 ReleasedThe Xalan team is pleased to announce the availability of Xalan Java 2.5.2.

Xalan Java 2.5.2 can be downloaded from one of the Apache mirrors at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xml/xalan-j Updates in this release include:
29 October 2003 - Apache HTTP Server 2.0.48 ReleasedThe Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are pleased to announce the eleventh public release of the Apache 2.0 HTTP Server. This Announcement notes the significant changes in 2.0.48 as compared to 2.0.47. This version of Apache is principally a bug fix release. A summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of this document. Of particular note is that 2.0.48 addresses two security vulnerabilities:
mod_cgid mishandling of CGI redirect paths could result in CGI output
going to the wrong client when a threaded MPM is used.
A buffer overflow could occur in mod_alias and mod_rewrite when
a regular expression with more than 9 captures is configured. This release is compatible with modules compiled for 2.0.42 and later versions. We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade.
Apache 2.0.48 is available for download from Please see the CHANGES_2.0 file, linked from the above page, for a full list of changes.

This Announcement notes the significant changes in 1.3.29 as compared to 1.3.28. The Announcement is also available in German from http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement.html.de.
This version of Apache is principally a bug and security fix release.
A partial summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of this
document. o CAN-2003-0542 (cve.mitre.org) Fix buffer overflows in mod_alias and mod_rewrite which occurred if one configured a regular expression with more than 9 captures. We consider Apache 1.3.29 to be the best version of Apache 1.3 available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions, especially of the 1.1.x and 1.2.x family, upgrade as soon as possible. No further releases will be made in the 1.2.x family.
Apache 1.3.29 is available for download from:
This service utilizes the network of mirrors listed at: Please consult the CHANGES_1.3 file for a full list of changes. As of Apache 1.3.12 binary distributions contain all standard Apache modules as shared objects (if supported by the platform) and include full source code. Installation is easily done by executing the included install script. See the README.bindist and INSTALL.bindist files for a complete explanation. Please note that the binary distributions are only provided for your convenience and current distributions for specific platforms are not always available. Win32 binary distributions are based on the Microsoft Installer (.MSI) technology. While development continues to make this installation method more robust, questions should be directed to the news:comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroup.
For an overview of new features introduced after 1.2 please see In general, Apache 1.3 offers several substantial improvements over version 1.2, including better performance, reliability and a wider range of supported platforms, including Windows NT and 2000 (which fall under the "Win32" label), OS2, Netware, and TPF threaded platforms. Apache is the most popular web server in the known universe; over half of the servers on the Internet are running Apache or one of its variants. 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) are of an acceptable quality, Apache 1.3 is not optimized for these platforms. Security, stability, or performance issues on these non-Unix ports do not generally apply to the Unix version, due to software's Unix origin. Apache 2.0 has been structured for multiple operating systems from its inception, by introducing the Apache Portability Library and MPM modules. Users on non-Unix platforms are strongly encouraged to move up to Apache 2.0 for better performance, stability and security on their platforms. For more information, see the Apache HTTP Server Project WebSite. 15 October 2003 - The Apache Newsletter Issue #2 ReleasedThe Apache Newsletter Issue 2 has finally arrived!

It is now now available for download. As we've already said in the announcements of Ant 1.5.4, this release requires JDK 1.2 or later to run. We encourage user to give this beta a release a try and report any bugs found so that we get a chance to fix them before we make the final release of Ant 1.6. Ant 1.6 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks. For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release notes. 29 September 2003 - Apache Maven 1.0 Release Candidate 1 Released!The Maven team is pleased to announce Release Candidate 1! Maven is a Java project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object model (POM) in that all the artifacts produced by Maven are a result of consulting a well defined model for your project. Builds, documentation, source metrics, and source cross-references are all controlled by your POM. Maven has many goals, but in a nutshell Maven aims to make the developer's life easier by providing a well defined project structure, well defined development processes to follow, and a coherent body of documentation that keeps your developers and clients apprised of what's happening with your project. Maven alleviates a lot of what most developers consider drudgery and lets them get on with the task at hand. This is essential in OSS projects where there aren't many people dedicated to the task of documenting and propagating the critical information about your project which is necessary in order to attract potential new developers and clients. This version is primarily a bugfix release.

05 August 2003 - Apache Geronimo -- participation in Apache J2EE effortsAs you may have heard by now, the Apache Software Foundation has initiated a project to develop an open source, Apache-licensed implementation of the J2EE specification. In addition, the project is committed to certifying the implementation as J2EE compliant. This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification. The project (tentatively named "Apache Geronimo") builds upon the many Java projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation. The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship with Sun Microsystems, provides the Foundation with access to the J2EE TCKs, making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own solutions upon the platform. Apache Geronimo has been launched within the Apache Incubator. You can find more information about the Incubator at http://incubator.apache.org/.

Check out the Cocoon website http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/ for more information. Apache Cocoon is an XML framework that raises the usage of XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style. A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching top this all off and help you to create, deploy and maintain rock-solid XML server applications. Today, most web engineers consider XML as the key for an improved web model and web site managers see XML as a way to reduce costs and ease production. In an era where services rather than software will be key for economic success, a better and less expensive model for web publishing will be a winner, especially one based on open standards.
