2012 July - Board report for Apache Shiro Apache 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: - We released Shiro 1.2 last quarter and we are currently planning on releasing a 1.2.1 bugfix release hopefully sometime this or next week. Community & Project: - Shiro continues to grow, both in the number of downloads and the size of its community. We've received a lot of feedback lately on integration with other protocols like OAuth, OpenID and open-source frameworks like Scribe (for OAuth). The development team will continue to work with the community to provide the best Java security experience possible. - We're excited to represent Shiro at OSCON this year with the rest of the ASF team. One of our team members, Les Hazlewood, will be at the Apache hackathon helping anyone wishing to use or integrate with Shiro.
