## Apache BVal Report September 2013 ## The Apache BVal project implements the Java EE Bean Validation specification(s) and related extensions, and became a top-level project of the foundation on February 15, 2012. ### 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. ### Legal ### No concerns at present. ### Infrastructure ### Nothing needed at the moment.
