2015 March - 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:

- No new releases since our previous 1.2.3 bugfix release on
  25 February 2014.  A 1.3 release may be possible as an interim
  before 2.0, but development work last quarter has targeted the 2.0
  branch.

Community & Project:

- Mailing list traffic remains steady compared to last quarter.

- Efforts towards a 2.0 distribution remain active on a separate dev branch.
  Changes are ongoing, and we hope to make a 2.0 release soon!

- One of the PMC members, Les Hazlewood, joined the JEE Application Security
  expert group (JSR 375) where hopefully some security ideas from Shiro will
  influence the specification as well as benefit Shiro by ideas discussed in
  the expert group.
