20 July 2008 - Apache Archiva 1.1 Released

The Apache Archiva team is pleased to announce the release of Archiva 1.1

Archiva is a build artifact repository manager for use with build tools such
as Maven, Continuum and Ant.

It has features like repository search and browse, securing repositories,
identifying unknown artifacts and reporting of repository problems.

Aside from these, it can also act as a nearby (proxy) cache of popular
global repositories.

The latest release is now available here:

New in Archiva 1.1
================

* Artifact Uploads

To simplify adding artifacts to a repository, an upload form has been put in
place that allows you to put an artifact and POM into the repository without
the need for the Maven deploy-file command.

* RSS

RSS is now available for getting a feed of new artifacts being added to a
given repository. Two types of feeds are generated by Archiva: new artifacts
in a repository and new versions of a specific artifact.

* Virtual Repositories

Virtual repositories or repository groups allows downloading from a group of
repositories via one url (group url).

* Timeouts

Connections to remote repositories can now have a configurable timeout value

* New Runtime Bundle

The application is now distributed using Jetty 6.1 and it's documented
configuration, rather than the previous Plexus application server bundle. It
continues to use the Java Service Wrapper (v3.2.3) for application
monitoring, though the configuration has been improved, particularly with
regard to separating the application configuration from the installation.

* Using Spring

Archiva now uses the Spring Framework as it's underlying container instead
of Plexus. This results in a boost in performance and stability for the web
application in particular.

* Using Apache Jackrabbit WebDAV Servlet

Archiva now uses Apache Jackrabbit's WebDAV servlet for serving repository
content instead of plexus-webdav. The change results in reduced codebase
complexity, increased standards compliance, better webdav client support and
a small peformance boost.
