Hi JSecurity Community,

After a months of pondering, discussion and debate, the development community has voted in favor of changing the project name from 'JSecurity' to 'Ki' (pronounced "key").

This change comes due to many reasons:

• To ensure that, as a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the project name can be as free and clear as possible from any potential naming conflicts that might be cause for legal conflict. After much research, we discovered that the name 'jsecurity' might potentially be a risk, and we wanted to avoid that

Dear JSecurity Community,

We have some very exciting news!

We're proud to announce that JSecurity has been voted in to the the Apache Incubator!

This will be a great benefit to you, our community, in many ways:

• Further community adoption from the Apache organization, its members, and Apache end-users, engaging a wider user base.
• Better and more diverse support as more people become contributors in the project
• Apache infrastructure support (mailing lists, Jira, Confluence Wiki, etc).

Hi all,

I made a quick Spring/Hibernate sample application last night. After doing an SVN update, you'll see it in the samples/spring-hibernate directory. This directory has the format of an exploded .war.

I highly encourage everyone to check it out and look through the files. It has many best practices employed and convenient features like:

• A good Entity base class for 'hibernated' POJOs
• Hibernate *.hbm.xml mapping files for User/Role database relationships
• A UserDAO using a nice base 'springified' HibernateDAO

When I released 0.9.0-beta2, I forgot to upload the jsecurity.jar to the Maven repo.

The .jar is now in our local Maven 2 repo, located here: http://jsecurity.sourceforge.net/m2repo/.

It should be propagated to the master Maven2 repo within 24 hours if you'd rather use that one.

Cheers,

Les

Dear JSecurity Community,

A quick point release was made from 0.9.0-beta to the latest 0.9.0-beta2. Download.

It includes a single bug fix related to RememberMe cookies not being set correctly. If you use the RememberMe feature, you will need to upgrade to 0.9.0-beta2 as soon as possible.

Release early, Release often, right? :)

Dear JSecurity community,

We're proud to announce that JSecurity 0.9.0-beta has been released! Download

This release constitutes numerous bug fixes from 0.9.0 alpha and features the following:

• Enhanced support for multiple realms: coding and using more than one realm is easier than before with a type-safe PrincipalCollection.
• Remember Me serialization now defaults to standard JDK serialization, allowing serialization of any Serializable principal (previous implementation only supported JavaBeans-compliant classes).

Last night's JSecurity presentation went well and it was great getting to know the Charlotte JUG group - really nice folks.

For everyone's benefit, I've posted the presentation slides PDF on the Documentation page directly under the Quickstart link at the top.

We also videoed the presentation, and we hope to have the edited video online as soon as possible (maybe a week or two, depending on our time/availability). I'll make another announcement when that happens.

Regards,

Les
