## Description: The mission of Shiro is the creation and maintenance of software related to Powerful and easy-to-use application security framework ## Issues: We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. ## Membership Data: Apache Shiro was founded 2010-09-22 (11 years ago) There are currently 13 committers and 11 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 7:6. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Benjamin Marwell on 2020-12-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Benjamin Marwell on 2020-04-23. ## Project Activity: - Shiro released v1.8.0 last quarter (2021-08-26), no release this quarter. - Work is close to finished moving the project's site to an OSS static site generator. - Recent changes include generating more secure hashes as required by the infra team. We had interesting discussions started in slack, e.g. if Apache Shiro should support the Jakarta Security API. Since only little interest was shown by Jakarta core committers and there has not been any user demand, the topic was not brought up on the mailing list. ## Community Health: The overall community health is steady. We observed less issues, probably due to a mature codebase. This resulted in less emails on the dev and user lists. There were also no urgent security issues to solve. Issue notifications had been moved to their own mailing list, which is why we see a further decrease on the dev mailing list. There were occasional questions on the user list which were answered by the PMC members.

Community & Project: - Brian Demers accepted his nomination to the Shiro PMC. We're happy to have him aboard! - Efforts towards a 2.0 distribution are slow going, as the last quarter has been particularly busy for the entire Shiro team. The community is advocating a few issues that probably should be represented in a 1.3 interim release, so they don't have to wait for 2.0 (JSF release + bug fixes). - User mailing list has been quite active the last month. We're grateful for a community that helps each other out a lot without as much guidance by the core shiro team as might have been necessary earlier in the project's history.

Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - We released a new 1.2.2 bugfix release on May 30th encompassing 18 bug fixes. Community & Project: - We have finally moved over to Apache Infra's svnpubsub mechanism for publishing website updates. This is working really well so far. We are still flushing out the best authoring system to use - we are currently using a custom file-based CMS, but recently found Octopress, which looks much more feature rich and powerful. - Initial efforts towards a 2.0 distribution have started in the svn trunk. It is still quite early, and a new release is probably at least 6 months away. - Outside of the Shiro codebase, there is a significant effort to secure Apache ActiveMQ with Shiro located here: https://github.com/lhazlewood/activemq/tree/trunk/activemq-shiro Once complete, the ActiveMQ development team has indicated they will be happy to include it in ActiveMQ's distribution. - Les presented at the 2013 Cassandra Summit showing how to use Cassandra as a distributed data store for clustering Shiro sessions: https://github.com/lhazlewood/shiro-cassandra-sample
Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - We have not released anything since our previous 1.2.1 bugfix release. However, enough community desire has surfaced for a 1.2.2 patch release as well as a 1.3.0 release. We are making strong efforts this and next week to accomplish this. - After these next 1.2.1 and 1.3.0 releases, we might start targeting a 2.0 distribution, which would incorporate a lot of desired changes. We have been careful about this because this would very likely introduce backwards incompatible changes that we can't do on minor or patch releases as we follow the APR versioning guidelines. Community & Project: - Les presented Intro to Apache Shiro at ApacheCon this year - it was a good experience to see so many Apache folks. - We still haven't had the time/volunteers to convert over to infra@'s CMS system for our public website, even though we're well past the deadline. This means that our public website can't be updated with new content until this occurs since (as we understand it) the confluence wiki is no longer supported. - The Shiro community remains helpful, with steady month-after-month mailing list traffic. No noticeable changes here. - Everyone on the Shiro dev team has been quite busy w/ their respective full time jobs. Coupled with the holidays, not much development was accomplished last quarter, but efforts are ramping up significantly for a 1.2.2 and 1.3.0 release.

Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - We are very happy to announce that we have released Apache Shiro 1.2 on Tuesday, January 24 2012, after our last report. While 'just' a point release, this effort constituted over a year's worth of work. We are very excited for the community to have this release. Community & Project: - We are happy to report that Jared Bunting has become our newest PMC member. He has been a valuable member of the team overall, and especially helpful with Shiro's Guice integration. - More articles, blog posts, tweets and tutorials are being written about Apache Shiro every day. Google Analytics shows almost 100,000 page views and 10,000 unique visitors per month, showing significant continued project interest and community growth after leaving the Incubator a little over a year ago.
Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - No new releases. Community & Project: - In our last report, we were considering voting on 1.2 as soon as possible. Instead, we delayed the vote to allow finishing a number of issues related to making password hashing much easier for applications. That work is 95% complete and it is expected that a 1.2 vote will happen within a week or two. - The community continues to grow, with new articles being written by the community. We appreciated and were excited to see an extremely thorough article written by Meri covering Shiro cryptography: http://meri-stuff.blogspot.com/2011/12/apache-shiro-part-3-cryptography.html - The mailing lists remain healthy. Much of the community is awaiting the 1.2 release, and this has become our highest priority.

Jared has been a great help to the project and he is a welcome addition to the team. - The team has decided to release Shiro 1.2 as soon as possible. A release vote is likely this week. - Significant effort has gone into improving Shiro's reference manual the last three months. It is much better than before and continues to grow as new features are added. Some talk was discussed about finding a new authoring format beyond using Confluence, but no changes have been implemented as of yet.
Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - No releases since our first 1 Nov 2010 1.1.0 release Community & Project: This last quarter has been focused more on community building than coding, with great success. The Shiro average website visitor traffic has increased more than half (59%) in only 3 months! We continue to grow and help the JVM security community. Following are the most important points from the last quarter. - The Apache Shiro team is excited to report that we have added Brian Demers as our first new committer after becoming a TLP. We're excited that our community continues to grow with quality folks like Brian. - There has been minor discussion of creating a 1.2 release soon. A few minor issues need to be resolved, and hopefully this will be done before our next board report. - While Shiro doesn't receive many complaints, the most frequent one has been that non-JavaDoc documentation has been lacking. Significant work has gone into improving Shiro's documentation over the last month, and we believe this will serve the community much better. - To improve project publicity, Les Hazlewood wrote an intro article on Apache Shiro published on InfoQ: http://www.infoq.com/articles/apache-shiro This has contributed to site traffic and community adoption significantly.
Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - No releases since our first 1 Nov 2010 1.1.0 release Community & Project: - No new committers or PMC members - The project team is discussing the possibility of releasing a 1.1.1 bug fix point release or moving directly to a 1.2 release. - Documentation efforts have increased significantly the last two months, with new Authentication and Authorization guides being written with many cleanup edits of the existing framework documentation. February (last month) represented the highest traffic volume to date for the Apache Shiro website (just shy of 10k site visits), indicating these edits are paying off. - Some new integration efforts by both committers and end-users for integrating with third party authentication systems seems to have picked up lately, with discussions about supporting OpenId, OAuth, and maybe Oracle SSO - In the last three months, the community has indicated areas for significant improvement in the codebase which will probably make their way into a 2.0 release. There is currently no timeline for 2.0, but ideas are being tracked at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SHIRO/Version+2+Brainstorming. Most notable of the improvements are the continued migration to favoring architecture that emphasizes OO composition over inheritance, affording our end-users an even more pluggable approach to application security.
Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - No releases since our first 1 Nov 1.1.0 release as a TLP Community & Project: - No new committers or PMC members - Continued user participation on the mailing lists. This last month probably represents the highest user activity with regards to opening Jira issues and providing patches, a healthy sign that our project continues to grow as a new TLP. - The development team is discussing as to when our next release might be, whether it will be before or after the holidays. It is not currently decided if it will be a 1.1.1 point release or a 1.2 minor release. - There has been a lot of discussion in the last month by both users and developers as to the best way to support Shiro integration with 3rd-party (ASF compatible) frameworks and libraries - either include the code as 'support modules' within Shiro's codebase, or to have the code reside somewhere else, like a 'shiro-extras' project, similar in concept to Apache Wicket's 'Wicket Stuff' project. The difficulty in deciding is based on 1) the likelihood of the dev team supporting an increasing number of integration modules directly at the level of quality we wish to maintain and 2) whether or not a security framework like Shiro should support frameworks (like Wicket and Struts2) that sit 'higher' in the application stack. Ideally we'd like the respective web communities to support Shiro since we believe it is in their scope to do so, rather than Shiro (a security framework) writing integration for multiple web frameworks. This is an ongoing discussion and we've yet to come to a decision.
Suggest that apache-extras.org might be a good place to host third-party integrations. Check it out.
Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. We have no issues that require Board assistance at this time. Releases: - We are proud to announce that we have made our first release as a TLP, Apache Shiro version 1.1.0 on November 1st, 2010. Community & Project: - No new committers or PMC members - Community interaction and user list traffic has grown significantly since becoming a TLP, with over 400 emails on the user and dev mailing lists last month. This is more than double the average monthly traffic we had while in incubation, showing continued growth and a healthy community as a TLP. - We experienced our first security vulnerability CVE issue. It wasn't handled as appropriately as it should have, with the issue becoming public (in a roundabout way) before it should have been made known. We dealt with the issue, fixed the source code, and very shortly thereafter released version 1.1.0. This was a bit difficult as this CVE issue overlapped with the other issues required for 1.1 and because we had not yet released a TLP version, we couldn't simply create a point release and just 'get it out the door' quickly. Instead we needed to coordinate the fix in the context of our first TLP release, which was a little more challenging. In any event, it was a great learning experience, and we are confident any further CVE issues will be handled appropriately.

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.

Cryptography API and implementation adjustments had to be made prior to the 1.0 release, delaying the 'code complete' stage before incubator vote by 2 weeks. That effort is being finished this week. As soon as this code is complete, and we resolve 4 outstanding Jira bugs, we will go immediately initiate the voting process to clear our first 1.0 release (hopefully next week). The project team is not considering graduation at this point, but after the first release, the team will decide on a roadmap targeting graduation.

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. During the period, the project has made steady progress towards releasing the first 1.0.0 release as part of Apache incubator. All IP clearance issues have been resolved and the team has verified there are no known remaining issues open. Previous issues related to project's name change have been largely resolved. Community involvement remains high and many users are eagerly waiting for the first official release. The team is planning on making the release during the next period. There's been an on-going effort to clean up the codebase and prioritize open JIRA issues before the release. Project's API documentation (javadoc) is in a fairly good state, but the remaining issue is where and how to automatically publish the javadoc for general consumption. In addition, a wiki-based documentation effort for creating a reference guide was launched. The project team is not considering graduation at this point, but after the first release, the team will decide on a roadmap targeting graduation.

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. We are very excited to report we have added Kalle Korhonen as our first new committer since joining the incubator. This marks a big project milestone for us as we continue to grow our community. There remain a few project infrastructure inconsistencies resulting from our previous name change as described in this email thread: http://tinyurl.com/yznnogv Resolving these inconsistencies are a high priority and should be resolved as soon as possible. An issue of how Shiro is configured was the largest issue impeding our first Apache release. That issue has been largely resolved and once finalized, we should be able to focus on our first Apache release. The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is not ready for an Apache release. Once IP clearance is complete, we'll attempt our first incubator release.

Previously JSecurity/Ki. Apache Shiro is a powerful and flexible open-source application security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. Apache Shiro has been incubating since June 2008. * Due to potential naming conflicts with the previously chosen name of 'Ki', the ASF community at large helped us change our name to 'Shiro'. This was a large collaborative effort that really showed the power of the Apache Way and resulted in a name with which a large majority of people were content. * Project infrastructure has been switched over to support this name change and all seems to be running well. We have yet to properly configure Hudson for continuous integration builds, but that should be done shortly. The new CWIKI space is available here: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SHIRO * The name change also affords us to start publishing incubator Maven snapshot builds which will help foster adoption to all Maven end-users (which there are many). * We're very happy to report that the the name change and community support resulting from it have allowed the development team to return focus to developing the framework and resolving issues rather than spending time on name-related administrative issues. The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is not ready for an Apache release. Once IP clearance is complete, and Maven snapshots are working, we'll attempt our first incubator release. The status is being maintained at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shiro/STATUS
Ki (previously JSecurity) is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. Ki has been incubating since June 2008. The project team voted at the end of February to change the project name from JSecurity (its previous name prior to entry into the ASF Incubator) to 'Apache Ki' for a number of reasons, which are documented in full detail here: http://markmail.org/thread/zcmi4pjv2bbf4574 Project infrastructure is being changed to match this name change, but is not yet fully complete. Mailing lists are pending still. There was a post on the old jsecurity.org website by an individual stating that they would appreciate if we used a different name other than Ki, posted here: http://www.jsecurity.org/node/1081#comment-289. One of our project members responded and have not received any responses further. The project team is now internally debating whether we need to change the project name yet again. The old jsecurity.org project website has entered an archival state, clearly pointing that all users should be redirected to the new Incubator ki site. A crontab entry has been created to auto-export the cwiki to here: http://incubator.apache.org/ki We're happy to report that development and user list activity has steadily increased since we started incubation last year, with March (last month) being the most active month to date. The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is not ready for an Apache release. Once IP clearance is complete, we'll attempt our first incubator release. One mentor, Emmanuel Lecharny, decided to step down from the project. The number of mentors is now down to three, which is the quorum. Finding a few more mentors should be a good idea at this point.

JSecurity is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. JSecurity has been incubating since June 2008. At the end of November, the JSecurity team released a final external (non-Apache) release: 0.9.0 final. All modifications after the release were made under the assumption that the next release will be an Apache incubating release. After the November final release, there has been lengthy discussion for the month and half following about JSecurity's name and whether or not it should be changed to something else. 3 mentors voted in favor of chainging the name to something else, 1 voted against, and 1 abstained. Those voting in favor cited concerns of a few external (3rd party) products that might cause a name conflict. Concensus was not reached, resulting in the vote. However, it is considered still an open issue with continued discussion as other IPMC members are contributing to the discussion. More recently, the team has debated about how the source tree should be configured to allow easy modular builds and to clearly delineate the differnece of JSecurity core versus web support and 3rd party support. The team came to concensus about an initial directory organization and the ant build files were modified to reflect the new structure. It was also discussed that two build systems, both Ant+Ivy and Maven, could be used to build the framework, allowing the one building to choose based on their preference. Infrastructure migration (noted in our STATUS file) is almost complete - all that needs to be done is migration of the jsecurity.org website into our incubator snapshot. A volunteer is currently in the process of enabling the existing JSecurity theme in the ASF's Confluence export mechanism. Low-hanging fruit to be cleared hopefully by the next board report is all IP clearance: the Copyright & Licensing and Distribution Rights sections of the STATUS file should be able to be completed in their entirety. The biggest exit criteria remaining is Team Collaboration. Although the team is satisfying all collaboration directives and has a good community, we need to attract new committers. Hopefully that will be a significant difference in the upcoming months and throughout 2009. Finally, one of our mentors, Alex Karasulu, had to step down and remove himself as a mentor, citing busy schedules and not enough time to dedicate (http://markmail.org/message/hkh6pjwjlnmtkrjp). We are very grateful for the time he was able to contribute! The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is not ready for an Apache release. Once IP clearance is complete, we'll attempt our first incubator release. The status is being maintained in SVN (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jsecurity/STATUS)
We just have to report that the code base has been imported into the ASF repository, and as it was a long waited move, it's good to have it announced in this monthly report !
JSecurity is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. JSecurity has been incubating since June 2008. Last month, a new external release was issued (0.9.0-RC2). After this, a single bug fix has been implemented and committed to the external SourceForge SVN repository. Many other commits have been made, but all were nonfunctional and were made to round out the project's JavaDoc. The JavaDoc is already quite good, but not 100%. The team has discussed on the development list that it would be a good idea to get the JavaDoc completed at 100% before releasing 0.9 final, with 0.9 final being the last external release. After this point, we wanted to inject the code source into the Apache repository as a 'clean slate' initiative. The idea is that perhaps 0.9.1 would be an Apache release, allowing that release to focus only on adherence to Apache policy and not dependent on code or documentation. Then all subsequent releases could benefit from the experience of this 'first run', continuing to maintain Apache policy. The JavaDoc is currently being updated intermittently, as the development team has the opportunity to update it in their spare time. It is certainly desirable to finish this effort soon, hopefully no more than a week or two. But this time frame is ultimately dependent upon the number of contributors. The project team is not considering graduation at this point, as the code is not ready for an Apache release. The community is working well, with decisions being made in public.

JSecurity is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. JSecurity has been incubating since June 2008. Since last month, a new external release has been issued (0.9.0-RC2), and some bug fixes, and discussion about the configuration format. The code source should be injected to the Apache repository soon, when the external 0.9.0 release will be out. It's a matter of days, may be a week, accordingly to the latest discussion on the mailing list. JIRA is set up, but it should be used.

JSecurity is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. JSecurity has been incubating since June 2008. The project has been very active, with plenty of discussion around features, implementation, and strategy, on both user and dev lists. The code is still at codehaus, with the plan to migrate the code base with all history to the apache repository once a release has been made. Once the code is in the apache repository, additional releases of the org.jsecurity code may be published via codehaus, while the packages are renamed to org.apache.jsecurity. Mailing lists have been set up, and most email traffic has been migrated from the previous lists at codehaus. The JIRA project is set up and is tracking new issues. Issues will be migrated from the existing bug tracking system in due time. The status is being maintained at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jsecurity/STATUS
JSecurity is a powerful and flexible open-source Java security framework that cleanly handles authentication, authorization, enterprise session management and cryptography. JSecurity has been incubating since June 2008. The project has kicked off with some basic infrastructure now in place. Mailing lists have been set up. The svn repository is ready for code. The JIRA project is set up. The initial committers have sent ICLA's and all accounts have been created. Discussion is underway as to migration of the existing code into the Apache repository. There is an existing code base with users that will need to have releases and maintenance while the project is incubating. PMC comments: * jukka: JSecurity status page is missing
