## Description: The mission of Traffic Server is the creation and maintenance of software related to a fast, scalable and extensible HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 compliant caching proxy server. ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing with moderate activity Issues for the board: none ## Membership Data: Apache Traffic Server was founded 2010-04-20 (14 years ago) There are currently 71 committers and 56 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:7. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Damian Meden on 2022-12-14. - Josiah VanderZee was added as committer on 2024-01-07 - Zhengxi Li was added as committer on 2023-11-16 ## Project Activity: We made two bug fix and security related releases last quarter (8.1.9 and 9.2.3). These releases had patches to help with the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset attack. We are working on the next major release, scheduled for Q1 2024. We have moved our build and CI system to cmake as part of this release. The release will have HTTP/2 to origin support and experimental HTTP/3 support. ## Community Health: We had our ATS Fall Summit remotely on November 14th and 15th with good attendance numbers, approximately 45 people. We are in the process of figuring out if we will have our spring summit remote or in person and where. Due to the holidays some of our standup meetings were canceled, but they are back on schedule for the new year. We are meeting on Monday for PR and issue scrubs and on Tuesdays for the ATS 10 release. Most of the community health metrics are down, which normally happens in Q4 of each year, because of holiday vacations.

The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 9:8. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Damian Meden on 2022-12-14. - No new committers. Last addition was Chris McFarlen on 2022-10-11. ## Project Activity: We had two security releases last quarter (8.1.8 and 9.2.2). We were pulled into the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset security issue and made security enhancements to ATS to mitigate the issue. Those changes were released in Q4 (8.1.9 and 9.2.3). We are working on our next major release (ATS 10.0.0) that will have HTTP/3 client support and HTTP/2 to the origin support. We are in the process of moving to cmake for the ATS 10 release and restructuring our code base to remove circular dependencies and clean up the dependency hierarchy. Our current goal is to branch ATS 10 on November 1st and release ATS 10 in Q1 of next year. There is one company, at the moment, testing the new release in production. ## Community Health: The ATS Fall Summit is scheduled for November 14th and 15th. The summit will be remote, due to limited travel budgets of companies. Yahoo hired an intern during the summer that made great progress on converting our build system over to cmake. Most of our GitHub PR build jobs have moved over to use cmake. He is continuing to work on ATS on his own time while attending school. We started having ATS 10 and HTTP/3 status meetings alternating every week to help track the progress of the release. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday. All of the community health metrics are up. The community is actively working on getting features completed for the ATS 10 release. All of the community health metrics are up. The community is actively working on getting features completed for the ATS 10 release.

We are working on our next major release (ATS 10.0.0) that will have HTTP/3 client support and HTTP/2 to the origin support. We are also going to have a JSON RPC for clients to read stats and modify configuration. There is one company at the moment testing the new release in production. ## Community Health: We had a remote ATS Spring Summit on May and plan to have another remote summit in October. It doesn't look like companies are opening up budgets to travel until next year at this point. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday and HTTP/3 meetings on Tuesdays. All of the community health metrics are up. We have a couple new people that have joined the community during this time and are being paid to work on ATS full time.

Last addition was Chris McFarlen on 2022-10-11. ## Project Activity: We released our latest feature release of 9.2.0 this quarter. We are currently working on our next major release that will have: HTTP/3, HTTP/2 to the origin, JSON RPC, and many more features. We are testing HTTP/2 to the origin and JSON RPC in production and will start testing HTTP/3 very soon. Giving the amount of work we still have to do for ATS 10, the release date should be sometime in Q3. ## Community Health: We have scheduled our ATS Spring Summit for May 16th and 17th. Unfortunately we are going to have the summit remote, due to travel restrictions from companies that what to reduce their budgets. This is a setback from having our Fall Summit in person in December after having the summits for three years remotely. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday and HTTP/3 meetings on Tuesdays. GitHub PRs opened and closed have greatly increased over Q4, 72% and 59% respectively. This seems to be a normal pattern where development slows around the holidays and picks up in Q1. All stats were up except for the number of contributors, which is surprising at -6%.

Last addition was Chris McFarlen on 2022-10-11. ## Project Activity: We released 8.1.6 and 9.1.3 this quarter fixing security issues and bugs. We are working on the 9.2.0 release, which is our next feature release and that will be completed in Q1 of 2023. We are also preparing for our next major release, 10.0.0, and we are planning to release that in Q2 of 2023. Companies will start testing 10.0.0 in production in Q1 of this year. It will have features: HTTP/3, HTTP/2 to the origin, JSON RPC, and many more features. ## Community Health: We had our first in person event since the fall of 2019 (before COVID). Linkedin generously hosted the event. There were 62 people that signed up for the summit and 36 signed up in person. This is much lower than our pre-COVID numbers of 82 people signed up to attend in person. Hopefully attendance will pick up for our fall summit this year. We are planning on having a developer focused summit this spring. We are looking at the possibility of having it in Ireland. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday. Commits and unique committers were down in Q4 of 2022, 21% and 16% respectively. This normally happens around the holidays and picks up Q1.

We are working on another bug fix release and the next feature release that will happen this coming quarter. We will also be branching for the next major release (10.0.0). It will have features: HTTP/3, HTTP/2 to the origin, JSON RPC, and many more features. ## Community Health: We are having our ATS Fall Summit in person for the first time in three years, this December. It will be hosted by LinkedIn at their Mountain View office. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday. On a positive note it was great to see that the number of code committers increase this quarter by 16%. However, the number of closed issues was down this quarter by 23%. We had some support issues filed and we need to do a better job of resolving them quickly.

We are also testing out next feature release of 9.2.0 in production at multiple companies. ## Community Health: We had our ATS Spring Summit on May 24th and 25th remotely after trying to plan for it in person. It was not feasible to have it in person at the time. We hope to have our Fall Summit in person in the bay area this year. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub. Some people are taking summer vacation, so the attendance has fluctuated. The number of code committers dropped this quarter by 23% after increasing last quarter by 39%. We are keeping up with our PRs and issues with a net positive closing of 7 for PRs and for issues we have a net opening of 3.

We are preparing another bug and issue release for this quarter along with our next feature release of 9.2.0. Multiple companies are currently testing 9.2.0 in production before the release. ## Community Health: We tried to schedule an in person ATS Spring Summit this quarter. However, it is not feasible at this time with companies limiting travel and offices starting to open up. We are going to have the our summit online May 24th and 25th and will try to have an in person summit in the fall. We continue to have our weekly PR and issues scrub and it has been well attended. It has been very helpful on assigning people PR to review and issues to fix. We saw a good increase in the number of contributors by 39%. We also had two developers hired by a large company to work on ATS development this quarter. The number of issues closed was down this quarter by 30%. In our weekly issue meetings we have been primarily focusing on current PRs and issue and haven't had enough time in the meetings to look at the backlog of older issues.

We are preparing a 9.1.2 bug fix release that will happen in the next couple weeks and the next feature release of 9.2.0 that will happen in Q1 this year. ## Community Health: We had a remote ATS Fall summit on 11/17 and 11/18, which was attended by 40 people. We are continuing to have our weekly PR and issue scrub meeting. These have been helpful on assigning PR and issues as well as getting the community involved with the project and knowing what changes are being made. We will start to plan our Spring Summit event. We have not determined if it will be remote of in person. If it is in person we will hold our summit in the Bay Area. Github PR open and closes are down, 46% and 47% respectively. This is normal to see a drop in community activity in Q4, with people taking vacation.

We are planning for another two bug fix releases in Q4 of this year. We branched for our 9.2.0 release and already have close to 400 changes on the branch. We are planning to have this release completed in January of next year. ## Community Health: We are going to have our ATS Fall Summit on 11/17 to 11/18 (remote). We continue to have weekly PR and issue scrub meetings every Monday and they have been well attended. The number of PR and commits have dropped in the last quarter (both down 23%). This is something that we need to continue tracking and see if it continues to be lower.

We are working on our next minor release 9.1.x and testing it in production. We have created a road map for the year and when major features will be added to our release branches. A couple of our major features this year will be HTTP/3 support and HTTP/2 origin support. ## Community Health: We started having weekly PR and issue scrubs, which has greatly increased the amount of opened (67% increase) and closed PRs (95% increase) and closed GitHub issues (45% increase) for the quarter. Code commits also jumped by 125% and the number of contributors by 36%. The stats around community engagement for the first quarter of the year is great news. We are also continuing to hold monthly half day meetings and we are planning on having a remote Spring summit.

We also made two additional security and bug fix releases for the 7.1.x and 8.1.x branches. With the 9.0.0 release we are ending support for the 7.1.x branch. ATS 8.1.x is now our LTS release branch. ## Community Health: We held our Fall summit remote in October of last year. The summit was well attended and we had people join and present from countries around the world. Our Spring and Fall summit this year will be remote. We are continuing to have monthly meetups during the pandemic to help keep the community socializing and communicating about current projects and corrdinate releases. In general statistics for the mailing lists and GitHub are down last quarter and this is normal for the time of year. The activity on GitHub and the mailing lists should increase this quarter.

LinkedIn and Verizon Media have fully deployed ATS 9.0.0 prerelease into production. There is one other large company that has deployed the prerelease on a few servers into production. We are also continuing to support the 8.1.x and 7.1.x release branches. ATS 8.1.0 was released on 8/28/2020 and large companies running 8.0.x have moved over to the feature release. ATS 7.1.x will stop being supported when the ATS 9.0.0 final release is made. ATS 8.1.x will become our LTS release branch. ## Community Health: We have been having monthly online meetups to help with getting the community together and talk about the ATS 9.0.0 release and current projects and issues. We are having our Fall Summit on 10/27/2020 and 10/28/2020 and have finalized the schedule. The summit will be remote and follow the format of the ATS Spring Summit. Activity on dev and users mailing lists is down significantly, by 44% and 47% respectively. However, there was a large increase the previous quarter. Issues closures are up by 43%, due to closing issues in preparation of the ATS 9.0.0 release. New GitHub PRs are down by 24% as we are focusing on stability before the 9.0.0. release.

Three companies have deployed prerelease versions of 9.0.0 to some of their production servers. We are also continuing to support the 8.0.x and 7.1.x release branches. We made two security releases on each of our release branches, which closed out two CVEs. ## Community Health: We had our ATS Spring Summit remotely. We had at least 30 people attend and had a guest speaker from Apple talk about MPTCP (the author of the RFC). We are planning on having monthly meetups to discuss releases and significant bugs. Also, we are planning on having our fall summit remote this year. Activity on dev and users mailing lists has increased significantly, by 77% and 85% respectively.

Verizon Media has deployed a prereleases version of ATS 9.0.0 in one colo. We are also continuing to support making bug fixes and updates to the 8.0.x and 7.1.x release branches. We made two security releases 8.0.6 and 7.1.9, which closed out 3 CVEs regarding various smuggle attacks. ## Community Health: We has an ATS Spring Summit planned for June in London, England. However, do to the coronavirus we canceled the summit and will have a 2 day remote summit. We also are planning on a Hackathon in late April of May for the ATS 9.0.0 release. Activity on dev and users mailing lists has increased significatly, by 76% and 97% respectively. I believe this is do to winter vacations in the preceding quarter.

We had 18 presentations over a two day period and had one day designated for a hackathon. The number of commits are up for the quarter by 37%, which is surprising considering winter break. Also, the number of code contributors also went up by 14%, which is another pleasant surprise.

There are currently 71 attendees singed up for the event and we are going to to have two guest speakers. - We made four security releases related to HTTP/2 security issues this quarter. We are currently working on our next major release 9.0.0 and it is currently being used on a few production servers while we work out some issues. ## Community Health: - Community engagement is down across the board. I feel this is the biggest area of concern for the project. Overtime the number of subscribers to the mailing lists have been declining.
## Description:
Apache Traffic Server is a HTTP and HTTP/2 proxy server and cache. What makes
ATS unique across the landscape of HTTP proxy caches is a focus on
extensibility (plugins), HTTP and HTTP/2 protocol conformity, and performance.
ATS is driving some of the largest CDNs in the world, delivering a significant
portion of all Internet traffic.
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- We had our ATS Spring Summit in Beijing China and it had great attendance
with 24 people singing up for the event. The event was hosted by one of our
PMC members from Skyguard and they did a fabulous job on scheduling meals and a
social event to see the Great Wall.
- Our ATS Fall Summit will be held in the Bay Area and will be hosted by
Verizon Media. Summits in the Bay Area tend to have a much larger number of
attendees.
## Health report:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors heretofore appointed Leif Hedstrom (zwoop) to the office of Vice President, Apache Traffic Server, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation of Leif Hedstrom from the office of Vice President, Apache Traffic Server, and WHEREAS, the Community of the Apache Traffic Server project has chosen to recommend Bryan Call (bcall) as the successor to the post; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Leif Hedstrom is relieved and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office of Vice President, Apache Traffic Server, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bryan Call be and hereby is appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Traffic Server, to serve in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of Directors. and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death, resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a successor is appointed. Special Order 7A, Change the Apache Traffic Server Project Chair, was approved by Unanimous Vote of the directors present.
## Description:
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid
and Varnish in functionality and features. What makes ATS unique across the
landscape of HTTP proxy caches is a focus on extensibility (plugins), HTTP
protocol conformity and performance. ATS is driving some of the largest CDNs
in the world, delivering a significant portion of all internet traffic.
## Issues:
- I (Leif Hedstrom) have decided to step down as PMC chair. The ATS PMC has
voted on a replacement, and is recommending Bryan Call as new PMC chair.
(See Special Orders 7A).
- This is my last Board report for the project , and I'd like to thank the
Board and the entire Apache Community for the support and trust.
## Activity:
- No events were planned or held in the last quarter, however the community
has worked hard organizing our upcoming ATS Fall Summit. Details for the
summit is still being finalized, see our Wiki for more information:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Fall+2016+Summit
## Health report:
- ATS v7.0.0 is in its final stages of being released, hopefully in the next
few weeks we'll have a candidate.
- We expect continued increase in committers, partially thanks to the Github
migration which we feel continues to encourage and simplify user
participation.
## PMC changes:
- Currently 39 PMC members.
- Chao Xu was added to the PMC on Sun Sep 18 2016

## Releases:
- 6.2.0 was released on Sun Jul 24 2016
## Mailing list activity:
- Again, the drop in email activity is because of our changes to Github, and
we ended up duplicating a noticeable amount of automated emails for a
quarter. That has now settled, and we're back to normal levels. Hence the
dramatic changes in traffic to some lists, which are as expected.
- users@trafficserver.apache.org:
- 500 subscribers (up 16 in the last 3 months):

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- We held our Spring Summit in Vancouver, just before the ApacheCon
conference. In a packed room, we shared and discussed use cases of ATS,
complex problems and solutions, and some future directions. Emails and
Jira's were created where we agreed on concrete proposals (such as the
updated release schedules).
- At ApacheCon, several ATS related presentations were made during the
conferences.
- We have decided to skip one releaes this release year, bringing us down to
only 3 planned releases. Details on the planned releases is available at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Release+Management
- We have migrated to the new MATT system succesfully, and we are seeing a
stready stream of contributions on the Github pull requests. Not only from
current committers, but also from new contributors. We have had two minor
issues with the synchronization, both of which were automatically detected
by MATT, and subsequently quickly resolved by Infra.
- In addition, we've added support for our Jenkins CI to also allow for
builds on two platforms (Linux and FreeBSD) of all Github PRs. This has
helped us tremedeusly in code reviews as well as quality, avoding
committing changes that would otherwise break the CI builds.
- Committers from the ATS community are participating in the upcoming HTTP
Workshop in Stockholm, in July.
## Health report:
- ATS v6.2.0 is currently in RC3 release, and we're aiming for a final
release in July. v7.0.0 is now scheduled for mid-october (pushed out by ~1
month).
- Activity on mailing lists is normal. However, the numbers below are
somewhat skewed due to the Github integration. This has been addressed
(thanks infra!) and we expect the number of emails to dev@ to return to
normal for the next report.
- It's still early to say, but our migration to Github and the eco-system
around Github Pull Requests seems to have a postive impact on community
participation. We are seeing roughly a 20% increase in contributors
compared to previous report. This is very positive, and we hope this will
also lead to new committers being added in the upcoming months and year.

## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
- Planning for the 2016 Spring Summit has begun, and we're finalizing our
agenda. Details are on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Spring+2016+Summit
- The ATS project is as of 4/10/2016 enabled to use the Git-Dual system
provided by Infra! This is very exciting, and we think this will continue
increasing community participation and growth. It also really simplifies the
work done by committers dealing with an increase in Pull Requests (we've had
over 500 github PRs, total).
Many thanks to the entire Infra team for making this happen! Special thanks
to Daniel Gruno for for going above and beyond his duty, making the
migration seemless and painless (so far :).
## Health report:
- Activity in the community is healthy, with pretty significant increase in
mailing list activity and community participation. We continue adding new
committers this quarter as well.
- ATS v6.2.0 is being prepared as we speak, and we expect this LTS release to
be ready for the planned 05/15/2016 release schedule.
- ATS is becoming recognized as a leader in the HTTP/2 server space, and the
team developing this is continuing making significant improvements with every
release.

## Health report:
- The lack of new committers has been discussed, and we have at least 3 more
candidates that we are considering for vote. But we are seeing normal
activity both on releases, contributions and mailing lists.
- The PMC voted to remove 6 PMC members that were unreachable or unresponsive
to several emails. This was a "Special Orders" agenda for the July 2015

Community ========= Two new committers were added since last report, leaving us with a total of 38 committers (note, there was a typo in the last report, which claimed we had 35 committers, when in reality it was 36). Our last committer was added on 05/28/2014. Activity on mailing list is normal, and we are seeing normal, steady growth in mailing list subscribers: users@ - 432 subscribers (up 4% since last report) dev@ - 281 subscribers (up 2.5% since last report) In Jira, 218 new tickets were opened and 136 were resolved or closed since the last board report, which had 222 and 241 respectively. 830 changes were committed to our git repository from 38 contributors. The number of unique contributors is identical to the last report, but the number of commits were almost twice as high. Events ====== At ApacheCon 2014, we were represented with a full day track dedicated to Traffic Server. Our spring Summit was held over two days at the same venue in Denver, and was well received. We're planning for a fall Summit, the initial idea was to do it in Budapest, but there seems to be little interest from the community so far. We'll make a decision on where to host the next Summit soon, but right now it looks like we'll do it in California instead. Two Traffic Server community members will go to Velocity China in August and talk about our project. Releases ======== Two new releases were made since last report: Apache Traffic Server v4.2.1 (released 4/29/2014) Apache Traffic Server v5.0.0 (released 6/17/2014) The v4.2.x family of releases is also a LTS branch, and this release marks the EOL of all v4.1.x releases. The v4.2.x version will be supported until v6.0.0 is released, roughly May 2015, and we expect a number of releases to be made in the next year. Upcoming releases include: * Soon: v4.2.2, fixing a few critical cache related issues etc. * Possibly: v5.0.1 in July * August: v5.1.0 Our v5.0.0 release also marked the End-Of-Life of the old v3.2.x release. No further releases will be made for this version.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the board's attention. Community ========= No new committers were added since last report, leaving us with a total of 35 committers. We do however expect a number of new committers and PMC members to get voted on in the near future. Our last committer was added on 11/7/2013.

In addition, the spring 2014 ATS Summit is being held at the same conference venue, Thursday and Friday. Many thanks to the ACNA organizers for helping us planning this summit! Dinners are planned for the community both on Wednesday night and Thursday night. Releases ======== One new release was made since last report, and it's worth repeating that all ATS releases are considered stable. Apache Traffic Server v4.2.0 (released 3/19/2014) The v4.2.x family of releases is also a LTS branch, and this release marks the EOL of all v4.1.x releases. The v4.2.x version will be supported until v6.0.0 is released, roughly May 2015, and we expect a number of releases to be made in the next year. Our normal release cycles continues of course, with the next stable release being v5.0.0. Upcoming releases include * Soon: v4.2.1, fixing a few critical cache related issues * May: v5.0.0, which starts our new major release cycle. The release of v5.0.0 will also see the end of life of the old v3.2.x releases. No further releases in the v3.2.x family is expected, we will make public announcements of this in the near future. We know the ASF is still running some servers on v3.2.x, and we'd be happy to provide resources to help a smooth migration to a newer version.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the board's attention. Community ========= One new committer (and PMC) member joined our ranks, bringing us to a total of 35 currently active committers. Activity on mailing list is normal, but the increase to mailing list subscriptions are slightly lower than usual: users@ - 402 subscribers (up 3% since last report) dev@ - 263 subscribers (up 4% since last report) In Jira, 215 new tickets were opened and 115 were resolved or closed since the last board report, which had 226 and 171 respectively. 405 changes were committed to our git repository from 39 contributors. Although the number of commits are very similar to last report, the number of contributors has increased by over 50%. That is good news. Events ====== Our first official Summit was held October 16-17, hosted by Yahoo Inc! This was well received, and one of the outcomes was to aim for two summits per year going forward. Hence, our next Spring Summit is planned for April 2014. A mini-BarCamp is planned for January 20-21, in Zurich, Switzerland. Releases ======== Two releases were made since the last report, including one new minor release which is our currently supported stable release: Apache Traffic Server v4.1.2 (current stable, recommended release) Apache Traffic Server v4.0.2 (EOLifed by v4.1.2) Upcoming releases include * Likely: v4.1.3, fixing any critical v4.1.2 issues * February: v4.2.0 (which will also be an LTS release)

Community ========= One new committer (and PMC) member joined our ranks, bringing it to a total of 34 currently active committers. Our primary mailing lists are seeing more activity, and more new subscribers than normal: users@ - 388 subscribers (up 12.5% since last report) dev@ - 252 subscribers (up 6.5% since last report) In Jira, 226 new tickets were created, and 171 were resolved or closed since the last board report. 425 changes were committed to our git repository from 25 contributors. The project made the "Apache Software Foundation: 10 Projects That Are Making a Difference" EWeek article. Yahoo! officially announced their intention to once again become a large, active contributor to the project. The community is very excited to see Yahoo! return, with all their expertise and experienced developers. Events ====== A BarCamp was held July 9-10th in Denver. This was received as an overall positive experience, and as such, we're doing it again. October 16-17 we'll hold our 2013 Fall Summit, hosted by Yahoo! More information is available at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Fall+2013+Summit The tentatively planned BarCamp in China was unfortunately canceled. We hope to revisit this next year. Releases ======== Three releases were made in the last quarter, 1 development and two stable releases. This includes the latest, new stable release, v4.0.1. Apache Traffic Server v4.0.1 Apache Traffic Server v3.2.5 Apache Traffic Server v3.3.5 This also marks a major update to our release process. For more details, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/Release+Management. Some highlights from this are: * Strict Semantic Versioning. Upgrading within a major version is always compatible from APIs, ABIs and configurations perspective. * Patch releases (e.g. v4.0.2) are made for security and critical bugs. * All releases are considered stable (i.e. no more development release). * Quarterly minor releases, on fixed schedules (May, Aug, Nov and Feb). * Major releases at the most once a year, but could be longer. Upcoming releases include * Imminent: v4.0.2, fixing 4 critical bugs in v4.0.1. * November: v4.1.0
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the board's attention. Community ========= No new committers or PMC members were added since last report, we're still at 33 currently active committers. Our primary mailing lists are seeing small but steady increase, and normal activity: users@ - 344 subscribers (up 4.5% since last report) dev@ - 236 subscribers (up 2% since last report) In Jira, 167 new tickets were created, and 150 were resolved or closed since the last board report. 292 changes were committed to our git repository from 23 contributors. Participation from community members on our official Blog site and Twitter account is good, but this is still an area that needs more work. We're to the point where we need to evangelize the project and software to attract more contributors, to continue innovation and improve code stability. Events ====== Comcast made an interesting presentation at the CDN Summit in New York, showing how they built their next generation CDN on Apache Traffic Server. At Velocity, LinkedIn presented their entire content management and delivery tools stack, based on Apache Traffic Server and plugins. They also announced their PageSpeed plugin, which they will release to the ASF and the Apache Traffic Server project soon. A BarCamp is planned for July 9-10th in Denver. More details are available at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/BarCamp+Denver+2013 . We are also contemplating either hosting or participating in a BarCamp in China this year. This is an area where there is a lot of potential growth for our community, and we already have many active contributors and committers in the area. Releases ======== Two developer releases were prepared: Apache Traffic Server v3.3.2 Apache Traffic Server v3.3.4 Our last stable release was v3.2.4, released on January 25. Our hope is that the next major release, v3.4.0, should be ready by the end of July. This is later than expected, we're currently 4-6 weeks behind schedule. A v3.2.5 stable release is also imminent.

Community ========= One new committer was added since the last report, for a total of 33 currently active committers. The mailing lists are seeing an increase in growth on the users mailing list, but flat on the developer list: users@ - 344 subscribers (up 5% since last report) dev@ - 231 subscribers (same as last report) Several ATS or ATS related presentations were given at ACNA-13. Thanks to the conference organizers, and our presenters! We had several ATS Hackathon / Bar Camp events, with participants from all over the world. All in all, it was a great event for the community. There is renewed activity among our committers, with a large number of commits and Jira tickets resolved in the last few months. Overall activity is up about 20% compared to the last 12 months average. It is exciting to see the increased commercial use of Apache Traffic Server. For some examples of who are using ATS, see http://trafficserver.apache.org/users.html Releases ======== Two releases were prepared: Apache Traffic Server v3.2.4 (stable branch) Apache Traffic Server v3.3.1 (developer branch) We are planning one developer release per month going forward, with a new stable release planned for June/July 2013 time-frame.

The mailing lists are seeing less growth than previous quarters: users@ - 328 subscribers (up 1% since last report) dev@ - 231 subscribers (up 5% since last report) An introduction to Apache Traffic Server was presented at ApacheCon-EU in November. Two ATS presentations were accepted to ACNA-13, and one plugin authoring tutorial session is scheduled. Many of our committers are attending ACNA13, and we look forward to meet and hack with the communities. A Usenix LISA presentation on the topic of choosing HTTP intermediaries, including ATS, was given in December. Releases ======== No releases since last report, but we have two releases planned for the very near future.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= Three new committers were added since the last report, bringing us to a total of 31 active committers. Paul Querna has stepped down from the PMC, going emeritus for the time being. We would like to thank Paul for all his contributions to the project, in particularly during incubation and the early stages joining the Apache Foundation. The mailing lists are seeing slightly less growth than previous quarters: users@ - 324 subscribers (up 8% since last report) dev@ - 219 subscribers (up 8% since last report) The PMC has decided to combine the committer and PMC membership votes into one. Going forward, new committers that are voted in have a choice to join either as both committer and PMC member, or just as a committer. We had a successful Traffic Server Hackathon at OSCON in Portland, and on 10/18 several of our committers are attending the Web Caches Meetup hosted by Yahoo (http://s.apache.org/c1a). An introduction to Apache Traffic Server will be presented at ApacheCon-EU in November. Releases ======== Development has been somewhat slow over the summer months, but we made one release: 3.3.0 - The first development release after v3.2. This version includes several new experimental plugins, including a Lua plugin framework (to write plugins in Lua scripts), and a plugin to handle stale content (RFC 5861). On further positive notes, a SPDY plugin has been committed to the main git repository. It's still in somewhat rough shape, but shows promise of having full SPDY support soon. Parties interested in SPDY are encouraged to help with the development on this plugin.

The mailing lists are seeing normal steady growth, the current tallies are: users@ - 301 subscribers (up 16% since last report) dev@ - 203 subscribers (up 9% since last report) A new "who's using" page was created, to show some of the users and supporters of our software and community: http://trafficserver.apache.org/users.html A Traffic Server Hackathon and get-together is planned for the upcoming OSCON in Portland, for both Monday and Tuesday. Many of the core Traffic Server developers will be there, and we look forward to meet many of our users. Releases ======== Three releases have been made since the last status report: 3.2.0 - Our latest, greatest stable release 3.0.5 - Patch release for our 3.0.x stable release 3.1.4 - The final development release before 3.2.0. A press announcement was made for the v3.2.0 release, for more details see https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/media_alert_the_apache_software2 Many thanks to Sally and the PR team for helping us with this milestone release. A year in the making, v3.2.0 fixes hundreds of bugs and adds many significant new features. Development on the v3.3.0 branch has begun already, and we will use the OSCON sessions to work on several interesting new projects. Of particular interest is the new Lua plugin, which will (hopefully) make it into either v3.3.0 or v3.3.1.
(Traffic Server)
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= Three new committers and PMC members were added since the last report, and we're very excited with our developer community growth. The mailing lists are seeing somewhat less growth than normal, the current tallies are: users@ - 259 subscribers (up 7% since last report) dev@ - 187 subscribers (up 7% since last report) The community dealt with a security incident, CVE 2012-0256, which led to the release of v3.0.4 and v3.1.3. Everything went very well, and it showed that our process for dealing with security incidents is solid. The Apache Traffic Server community volunteered to participate in the git trials. As of 1/28 we are fully migrated to the new git infrastructure. So far, it's been a good experience, with an expected hurdle of the steep learning curve of git. The infrastructure team have been tremendously helpful getting everything configured, and minor issues resolved. Releases ======== Four releases have been made since the last status report: 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 - New stable releases. 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 - Development releases. Primary focus right now includes * Stability and bug fixes, without performance regressions * Finishing up for a v3.2 release in April - May time frame Many interesting features have been added since v3.0, including SNI and NPN support for TLS. NPN is an enabler for developing a SPDY plugin for example. Full IPv6 support is also completed. Many performance improvements have been made, including better connection pooling. A number of stable plugins are now included with the main software distribution, and will be part of the next stable release. In total, over 200 bugs, improvements and new features have been fixed since v3.0.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= No new committers were added since the last report, but several new contributors have appeared, submitting excellent bug reports and patches. The hope is that some of these contributors will become committers in the future. The mailing lists are seeing our normal growth, the current tallies are: users@ - 243 subscribers (up 15% since last report) dev@ - 175 subscribers (up 11% since last report) Three presentations related to Apache Traffic Server were given in the last quarter: two at ApacheCon 2011 (Vancouver), and one at Usenix LISA (Boston). We're planning a Feathercast session in the near future. Releases ======== Two releases have been made since the last status report: 3.0.2 - The second stable release update on the 3.0 branch 3.1.1 - Additional trunk development towards v3.2. Primary focus right now includes * Stability and bug fixes, without performance regressions * Full IPv6 * Improvements related to SSL and addition of features such as SNI and NPN, and public APIs related to such features. * Continued improvements and additions to the plugin APIs. The v3.2 release is delayed, probably close to 3 months later than we had initially expected (and hoped for). v3.1.2 is almost ready for release, and will be followed by at least a v3.1.3 and most likely a v3.1.4 release. The new goal is for a v3.2 release sometime in Q1 of 2012.

Community
=========
Lian Zhang ("mohan_zl") and William Bardwell have joined the community as
committers and PMC members. Both are great additions, welcome! Activity on
mailing lists is healthy, and subscriptions continue to grow:
users@ - 210 subscribers (up 13%)
dev@ - 158 subscribers (up 11%)
Three presentations are scheduled for November and December: Two for
ApacheCon 2011 (Vancouver), and one for Usenix LISA (Boston)
Releases
========
Two releases have been made since the last status report:
3.0.1 - Our first stable update to the 3.0 release
3.1.0 - Our first development release
We're moving steadily towards both a 3.0.2 release, and a v3.2 release
later this year, or possibly early next year. The goal is to try to keep
up with frequent releases (monthly) as well as major releases on a
rough 6 month schedule.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid and Varnish in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= The Apache Traffic Server community is very happy to announce the addition of Zhao Yongming as a committer. Zhao is a hero on mailing lists, bugs, patches and all other community activities. Activity on mailing lists and Jira tickets continue to increase. Our mailing lists are now reaching well over 100 users and contributors each: users@ - 186 subscribers dev@ - 142 subscribers Three Traffic Server presentations are scheduled so far for 2011. Two for ApacheCon 2011, and one for OSCON 2011. We're looking forward to meet and talk about our projects and software. Releases ======== The community is incredibly excited to announce our first stable release in over a year: Apache Traffic Server v3.0.0 was released June 14 2011. We would also like to thank the PR group for coordinating a press release for this occasion. We got some significant media attention for our 3.0.0 release. The old 2.0.x branch is being phased out, and instead we will focus our efforts on the 3.0.x stable branch, as well as the bleeding edge trunk. Igor Galic is the release manager for the 3.0.x branch. Going forward, the community is planning on at least two stable major releases per year (6 months schedule) as well as patch releases on the stable branch. Buildbots are setup for all major platforms, and now also includes builds for the 3.0.x release branch. Many thanks to the infra-ops team for supporting our CI infrastructure, it's truly invaluable. Branding ======== We believe the project has completed all the Branding requirements.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= Activity in the community has slowed down a little bit, but a couple of new contributors have emerged. Overall, the community seems healthy and we expect to add a few new committers in the next quarter. Documentation efforts are well underway, migrating all our docs (and eventually site) to use the new Apache CMS. A presentation on Apache Traffic Server was accepted to the "Russian Internet Technologies" conference, to be held in April 2011. Releases ======== The community has produced two releases since our last report: v2.1.6 - Major plugin API improvements and updates v2.1.7 - Bug fixes primarily to improve cache efficiency The v2.1.6 once again breaks compatibility with previous releases, as is our intended goal with the v2.1.x release cycle. v3.0 will be the next stable release, where existing APIs and ABIs are frozen. Branding ======== We believe the project has completed the Branding requirements, the final piece was to add a DOAP file (done).
Jim asked if Shane needed help in reviewing branding compliance after a project reports completion. Shane would like volunteers to help in this task.
Apache Traffic Server is an HTTP proxy server and cache, similar to Squid in functionality and features. Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= Igor Galic has joined the Traffic Server PMC. Activity on mailing lists is very good, and the community is still seeing a slow, but healthy, growth. Several community members are actively working towards including Apache Traffic Server in various Linux distributions. Releases ======== The community has produced two releases since our last report: v2.1.4 - Primarily a large bug fix release v2.1.5 - Many Bug fixes and several new features (see below) Version 2.1.5 adds several new interesting features, including - WCCP v2 (experimental) - Per transaction overridable configurations - IPv6 has finally landed (for client connections) - Much better (consistent) 64-bit support, particularly in the plugin SDK APIs. Some of the changes made in the v2.1.5 (and upcoming v2.1.6) release makes it incompatible with earlier releases. Therefore, the community has decided that the next major, stable release will be v3.0. The expectation is that we'll do at least one more developer release (v2.1.6) before v3.0.
Issues ====== There are no issues that needs the boards attention. Community ========= The community has added one new committer since our last report, Igor Galic has joined as a committer. We are seeing continued increase in mailing list traffic as well as IRC chat room. Apache Traffic Server was presented at OSCON 2010. We got some very positive feedback about the software and the progress we're making with our community building efforts. A proposal for a Bylaw is being developed, and discussed on the dev@ mailing list. Releases ======== We have made three releases since the last report: v2.0.1 - Primary a security release, to improve DNS resilience. v2.1.2 - Same DNS fixes, and a number of other improvements. v2.1.3 - Fixes for the cache corruptions introduced earlier. v2.1.4 is expected to be released soon, which we hope will be the final release before the next stable release, v2.2. Detailed descriptions of all releases are available on our website. Finally, we are very excited to announce that support for intercepting (aka transparent) proxy has landed on trunk. This is currently only supported on the Linux platforms.
The TS community is continuing work on closing all new feature requests and bugs for a v2.2 release. No date has been set for this release, but we are still aiming for a "late summer" target. No other releases have been made in the last month. The Traffic Server community is pleased to report the addition of two new committers and PMC members this month! The community is vibrant, and we see a steady increase in interest and attention from both users and developers. Our CI infrastructure is continuously improving, with additions of Solaris and Fedora Core buildbots. This is in addition to our existing Ubuntu and FreeBSD builds. Props to infra ops for providing these critical services! Apache Traffic Server was presented at Velocity 2010, and another presentation is planned for OSCon 2010.
The Traffic Server community has released our first two development releases, TS v2.1.0 and v2.1.1. These releases includes a number of improvements, and feature additions: * Major performance improvements in most layers, increasing throughput by up to 2x in some benchmarks. * Increased cache capacity, we now support up to 0.5PB per disk spindle. A new RAM cache algorithm is also added. * Support for most Unix flavors, including FreeBSD, MacOSX and Solaris. * Completely new, flexible configuration layout, simplifying the build and packaging task for binary distributions. * Improved 64-bit support. The project is on track for a late summer / early fall release of v2.2.0, which will probably be the next public release (there is no immediate need for a v2.0.x release). This schedule will be adjusted as necessary though. The community is continuing to see an increase in activity, with questions, bugs and patches from several new (and returning) participants. At least one new committer is expected to join the team in the next few weeks. There are no outstanding issues with our transition from Incubator to TLP.
This is the first report for Apache Traffic Server since our graduation from the Incubator in April 2010. Working with the Infra-ops team, we have successfully moved all our resources out of the incubator area, and into the trafficserver.apache.org domain. This includes our new web site, at http://trafficserver.apache.org/. The community has released the first official Apache Traffic Server release, v2.0.0. This release is available from the dist mirrors, in the appropriate trafficserver area. The community has also grown with the addition of Jason Giedymin as a new committer. Work is in progress to release the first developer release (v2.1.0), the goal is to have this completed before end of May. In parallel, we are making fixes to the 2.0.0 release branch, in preparation for our first bug-fix release (v2.0.1).

This last month, the team has worked hard on code cleanup, preparing the code for submission into the Incubator SVN server. We still have some cleanup to do, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Traffic Server is having a Meetup at ApacheCon, Tuesday night, where we will present our progress, as well as give an overview of the code architecture, and typical use case scenarios for TS. Our goal is of course to be done with the code cleanup, and SVN migration, well before ApacheCon.
