The Apache Software Foundation

The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache Portable Runtime Project are proud to announce the General Availability of version 0.9.19 of the APR Apache Portable Runtime library, and version 0.9.19 of the companion APR-util Apache Portable Utility library.

  The corresponding version 0.9.7 of the companion APR-iconv library, an alternative portable implementation of the 'iconv' library, remains current.

  APR is available for download from:

    http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi

  This version of APR is a security and bug fix release, and is provided only for users requiring APR 0.9 compatibility.  Most developers are encouraged to adopt the latest APR 1.x version to ensure the most comprehensive support and access to the latest features and enhancements.  For example, the Apache HTTP Server Project's httpd 2.0 release uses APR 0.9 for binary compatibility, while later httpd 2.2 releases require APR 1.2 or later for better support and additional features.

  The security fixes in the APR library release 0.9.19 and APR-util library release 0.9.19 must be evaluated in the context of how APR-consuming applications use them to determine if the application provides untrusted input to these specific functions, to determine if they represent vulnerabilities to the specific application.

 Refer questions to such APR-consuming projects for further guidance.  These fixes, which are also included in the current APR and APR-util 1.x releases announced previously, include:

  * APR: SECURITY: CVE-2009-2412 (cve.mitre.org)

    Fix overflow in pools and rmm, where size alignment was taking place.

    [Matt Lewis <mattlewis@google.com>, Sander Striker, William Rowe]

  * APR-util: SECURITY: CVE-2010-1623 (cve.mitre.org)

    Fix a denial of service attack against apr_brigade_split_line().

    [Stefan Fritsch]

  * APR-util: SECURITY: CVE-2009-3560, CVE-2009-3720 (cve.mitre.org)

    Fix two buffer over-read flaws in the bundled copy of expat which

    could cause applications to crash while parsing specially-crafted

    XML documents.  [Joe Orton, Rainer Jung]

  * APR-util: SECURITY: CVE-2009-2412 (cve.mitre.org)

    Fix overflow in rmm, where size alignment was taking place.

    [Matt Lewis <mattlewis@google.com>, Sander Striker]

  The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime Project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behavior regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.

  APR and its companion libraries are implemented entirely in C and provide a common programming interface across a wide variety of operating system platforms without sacrificing performance.

  Currently supported platforms include:

    UNIX variants

    Windows

    Netware

    Mac OS X

    OS/2

  To give a brief overview, the primary core

  subsystems of APR 0.9 include the following:

    Atomic operations

    Dynamic Shared Object loading

    File I/O

    Locks (mutexes, condition variables, etc)

    Memory management (high performance allocators)

    Memory-mapped files

    Network I/O

    Shared memory

    Thread and Process management

    Various data structures (tables, hashes, priority queues, etc)

  For a more complete list, please refer to the following URLs:

    http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr/modules.html

    http://apr.apache.org/docs/apr-util/modules.html

  Users of APR 0.9 should be aware that migrating to the APR 1.x

  programming interfaces may require some adjustments; APR 1.x is

  neither source nor binary compatible with earlier APR 0.9 releases.

  Users of APR 1.x can expect consistent interfaces and binary backwards

  compatibility throughout the entire APR 1.x release cycle, as defined

  in our versioning rules:

    http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html

  APR is already used extensively by the Apache HTTP Server

  version 2 and the Subversion revision control system, to

  name but a few.  We list all known projects using APR at

  http://apr.apache.org/projects.html -- so please let us know

  if you find our libraries useful in your own projects!

Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools.

This release comes less than 4 weeks after 1.4.2 to address a critical issue where created .jar/.zip packages may be corrupted (BUILDR-517).   All users are encouraged to upgrade.

The Apache CXF team is proud to announce the availability of the 2.3.0 release.

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs like JAX-WS and JAX-RS.

These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or  CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.

CXF includes a broad feature set, but it is primarily focused on the following areas:

* Web Services Standards Support: CXF supports a variety of web service standards including SOAP, the WSI Basic Profile, WSDL, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-Trust, and WS-SecureConversation.

* REST based service creation based on JAX-RS 1.1 standard API's.

* Frontends: CXF supports a variety of "frontend" programming models. CXF provides a JAX-WS 2.2 Compliant frontend. It also includes a "simple frontend" which allows creation of clients and endpoints without annotations.

CXF supports both contract first development with WSDL and code first development starting from Java.

* Ease of use: CXF is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. There  are simple APIs to quickly build code-first services, Maven plug-ins to make tooling integration easy, JAX-WS API support, Spring  XML support to make configuration a snap, and much more.
