----- Release Notes for Archiva 1.2-M2 ----- Release Notes for Archiva 1.2-M2 The Apache Archiva team would like to announce the release of Archiva 1.2-M2. Archiva is {{{http://archiva.apache.org/download.html} available for download from the web site}}. Archiva is an application for managing one or more remote repositories, including administration, artifact handling, browsing and searching. If you have any questions, please consult: * the web site: {{http://archiva.apache.org/}} * the archiva-user mailing list: {{http://archiva.apache.org/mail-lists.html}} * Compatibility Changes * The Audit log filename has been renamed to <<>> instead of <<>> so that the log directory can be shared with other applications. * New in Archiva 1.2 ** Struts 2 The Archiva web application has been migrated from Webwork to Struts 2. ~~TODO add more info ** Repository Statistics Repository statistics are now available to help in monitoring the Archiva repositories. Statistics include the number of artifacts and size of the repository, the number of plugins, jars, wars, etc. For more details about this feature, see {{{adminguide/reports.html}Reports}}. ** Advanced Search An advanced or filter search feature is added for more specific searching of artifacts. More details are available in {{{userguide/searching.html}Searching}}. ~~TODO ** Web Services A web service for administrative tasks has been provided. It uses the Atlassian XML-RPC Binder which leverages the Apache XML-RPC. ~~TODO * Release Notes The Archiva 1.2-M2 feature set can be seen in the {{{tour/index.html} feature tour}}. * Changes in Archiva 1.2-M2 *Date TBA* * Changes in Archiva 1.2-M1 *14 November 2008* ** Bug * [MRM-514] -

Initial development focused on repository conversion, error reporting, and indexing. From January 2006 a web application was started to visualise the information and to start incorporating functionality from the unmaintained maven-proxy project. Development continued through many stops and starts. Initial versions of Archiva were built from source by contributors, and the first alpha version was not released until April 2007. Some significant changes were made to improve performance and functionality in June 2007 and over the next 6 months and a series of alpha and beta releases, a concerted effort was made to release the 1.0 version. Archiva became an Apache "top level project" in March 2008.
