| Apache ServiceMix is a flexible, open-source integration container that |
| unifies the features and functionality of Apache ActiveMQ, Camel, CXF and |
| Karaf to provide a complete, enterprise-ready ESB powered by OSGi. |
| |
| Project Status |
| -------------- |
| |
| The project focus of Apache ServiceMix is the assembly of the integration |
| container, the actual functionality is being maintained in related projects |
| like Apache Karaf, Apache CXF, Apache Camel and Apache ActiveMQ. |
| |
| Activity on the mailing lists and in JIRA has been a bit slow over the year |
| change, but is picking up again now that we're planning to do new releases. |
| |
| We have focused on providing users with latest and greatest technology and |
| worked on upgrade of Karaf, Camel and CXF versions. Apart from the first |
| release on the 5.4.x branch, based on Karaf 2.4.x, we have released 2 transition |
| releases on 5.2.x and 5.3.x branches to help people choose the right upgrade path |
| from the current maintenance release. |
| |
| We have also released the first preview of ServiceMix 6.0.0, which is based on |
| Karaf 3.0.x and includes numerous new features. |
| |
| We have decided to decouple ServiceMix Bundles and ServiceMix Specs from |
| ServiceMix 4 code and maintain them a separate subprojects. We have also migrated |
| the source code form svn to git repositries. |
| |
| There are no outstanding issues requiring board attention. |

| After the 5.4.0 release, the goal is to make the branch 5.4.x as a new stable line |
| of ServiceMix. We plan to keep a steady release schedule and keep up with new fix |
| releases of our dependency projects. |
| |
| We're also working towards further 5.x releases and a 6.0.0 release to |
| provide our users with major version upgrades of Karaf, Camel, CXF. |
