2010 October - Board report for Shiro as an Apache top level project Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - In the few weeks since graduating from the Incubator, we haven't yet released a new version, although we plan on making our first TLP release (version 1.0.1 or 1.1) in the next month. Community & Project: - No new committers or PMC members - All project migration issues are complete and http://shiro.apache.org is up and running. - Community interaction and user list traffic is growing steadily after graduating from the Incubator. Google Analytics reports that our web site has received about a 40% average increase in site visitors after going TLP. - Significant new features are slated for 1.1 later this month, notably improved salting support for authentication tokens and a much-improved JNDI-based LDAP realm for using LDAP for authentication and authorization
