2010-July Shiro Incubator status report Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. Shiro has been incubating since June 2008. The team is pleased to report the project made its first incubation release, version 1.0.0-incubating. The release was made following the best practices of an Apache release process. The team encountered only minor issues during the process and the release vote demonstrated strong support from the community. Prior to the release, the team made a concentrated effort to clean up the codebase, updated the Javadocs and close out any remaining JIRA issues. The project website and wiki-based user documentation was greatly improved. The project also designed new logos and chose a new one for the project in a community vote that was met with enthusiasm. Kalle Korhonen was voted in to join the PPMC. Existing PPMC members identified a new potential committer and discussed the matter but no vote was held yet. Some concern was expressed about the small number of active committers. The team feels confident about the mid-term roadmap. Progress is made towards making a 1.0.1 maintenance release as well as a new 1.1.0 minor release. The project is targeting graduation by October.
