<p>Apache Aries delivers a set of pluggable Java components enabling an enterprise OSGi application programming model.</p>
<p>Users have asked for a release of the Aries JPA bundles and hence the snapshot bundles it depends on (Aries Util) - in particular due to:</p>
<ul>
<li>the new 'runtime enhancer' that will mean entities can be enhanced as they are used in the runtime, rather than at development time.</li>
<li>the support for EclipseLink (in addition to Apache OpenJPA) as a JPA provider</li>
</ul>
<p>The release process has just started. This will exercise our per bundle release process adhering to the OSGi Alliance Semantic Versioning recommendations.</p>
<p>There have also been enhancements to the Aries JMX (whiteboard pattern) and Aries Subsystem (to use OSGi Core 4.3).</p>
<p>Apache Geronimo, which consumes Apache Aries to implement its enterprise OSGi application programming model, has been readying a release. The performance enhancements in the Aries Proxy module which now makes use of the new Weaving Hooks OSGi specification, has had a few teething problems for Geronimo. All known problems are now resolved.</p>

<p>Roughly same number of dev@ subscribers at 119, user@ 148 subscribers up 14 since last report. John Ross was voted in as a committer after his significant work to the 'subsystem' module.</p>
<p>There are no board level issues.</p></div>
