Report from the Apache Jackrabbit committee [Michael Dürig] (submitted 2017.06.14) ## Description: The Apache Jackrabbit™ content repository is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java™ Technology API (JCR, specified in JSR 170 and 283). The Jackrabbit content repository is stable, largely feature complete and actively being maintained. Jackrabbit Oak is an effort to implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository as a modern successor to the Apache Jackrabbit content repository. It is targeted for use as the foundation of modern world-class web sites and other demanding content applications. In contrast to its predecessor, Oak does not implement all optional features from the JSR specifications and it is not a reference implementation. ## Issues: There are no issues requiring board attention at this time. ## Activity: Apache Jackrabbit Oak receives most attention nowadays. All maintenance branches and the unstable development branch are continuously seeing moderate to high activity. Apache Jackrabbit itself is mostly in maintenance mode with most of the work going into bug fixing and tooling. New features are mainly driven by dependencies from Oak. The PMC resolved the impact of the recently published SHA-1 collisions in the development branch. Back ports to maintenance branches are under consideration. The last quarter saw a much needed and anticipated refactoring of the Oak code base leading to an overall improved and simplified module structure. While some of this work is still ongoing we expect it to have a positive effect on the overall evolvability and maintainability of the code base. We will be holding an Oak Hackathon August 21st to 25th in Basel, Switzerland (https://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/Oakathon%20August%202017). Attendance is open and free to everybody wanting to hack Oak. ## Health report: The project is healthy with a continuous stream of traffic on all mailing lists reflecting the activity of the respective component. There is a wide range of topics being discussed on the dev and user lists as well as on the various JIRA issues. Commit activity is moderate to high mirroring the activity on the JIRA issues. ## PMC changes: - Currently 51 PMC members. - Robert Munteanu was added to the PMC on Mon May 22 2017 ## Committer base changes: - Currently 51 committers. - Robert Munteanu was added as a committer on Mon May 22 2017 ## Releases: - jackrabbit-2.12.7 was released on Mon Apr 03 2017 - jackrabbit-2.14.1 was released on Mon May 29 2017 - jackrabbit-2.15.2 was released on Mon May 01 2017 - jackrabbit-2.15.3 was released on Fri Jun 09 2017 - oak-1.0.38 was released on Tue Mar 28 2017 - oak-1.2.25 was released on Tue Apr 11 2017 - oak-1.2.26 was released on Mon Jun 05 2017 - oak-1.4.15 was released on Mon Apr 03 2017 - oak-1.4.16 was released on Mon Jun 05 2017 - oak-1.6.2 was released on Mon Jun 12 2017 - oak-1.7.0 was released on Wed May 24 2017 - oak-1.7.1 was released on Tue Jun 06 2017 - vault-3.1.38 was released on Mon Mar 27 2017 ## JIRA activity: - 451 JIRA tickets created in the last 3 months - 397 JIRA tickets closed/resolved in the last 3 months
