+<h1>SmartFrog 3.17.010</h1>
+
+<p>
+ This is a new release of SmartFrog, the Java-based, LPGL-licensed distributed
+ deployment framework developed by HP Laboratories. SmartFrog enables
+ applications to be deployed across multiple machines, configuring different
+ aspects of the system so that they are all consistently configured, and managing
+ the life-cycle of the application as a whole. The project's home page is
+ <a href="http://smartfrog.org/">http://smartfrog.org/</a>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The release artifacts are available at

+</p>
+
+<p>
+ This release is 3.17.010; built from revision 7598
+ of the SVN repository.
+</p><p>
+ It was compiled with the Java version set to Java 6
+ -it will not work on Java1.5 JVMs.
+</p><p>
+ This release includes the following items:
+</p>
+<ul>
+
+ <li> Core smartfrog daemon, including services to manage files, start and stop
+ Java and native programs.
+ </li>
+ <li> Example components and applications.
+ </li>
+ <li> Ant support: ant tasks to deploy and terminate applications from a build.
+ </li>
+ <li> Ant components: the ability to execute ant tasks in a deployment.
+ </li>
+ <li> Anubis: a partition aware tuple-space that can be used to implement fault
+ tolerant systems.
+ </li>
+ <li> Database: components to issue database commands, and deploy HSLDB and MySQL
+ databases.
+ </li>
+ <li> Hadoop: a version of Apache Hadoop with SmartFrog management, and
+ support components to interact with Hadoop: filesystem operations and
+ Job submission. This is still experimental and must be considered unstable.
+ </li>
+ <li> JMX: the ability to configure and manage JMX components, and to manage
+ SmartFrog components over JMX.
+ </li>
+ <li> Logging: integration with Apache commons-logging and Log4J, and the
+ SLF4J framework.
+ </li>
+ <li> Networking: email, FTP, SSH, DNS support.
+ </li>
+ <li> Quartz: scheduled operations using Quartz libraries.
+ </li>
+ <li> RpmTools: components for working with or deploying with RPMs</li>
+ <li> Scripting: support for BSF-hosted scripting languages
+ </li>
+ <li> Testing: Distributed JUnit and component testing with SFUnit.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Velocity: generation/transformation of text files during deployment
+ </li>
+ <li> WWW: deployment of WAR and EAR files to application servers. deploy-by-copy
+ is provided for all application servers that support, and a tomcat-specific
+ component can communicate with Apache Tomcat.</li>
+ <li>Jetty: The Jetty component can
+ configure and deploy individual servlets, eliminating much of the need for WAR
+ files themselves.
+ </li>
+ <li> XML: XML support with XOM.
+ </li>
+ <li> XMPP: Presence and messaging over Jabber.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+

+ All the JAR files are also published to a repository that is compatible with
+ Apache Maven and Ivy. Add
+ <a
+ href="http://smartfrog.sourceforge.net/repository">http://smartfrog.sourceforge.net/repository</a>
+ to your repository list to pull SmartFrog artifacts into your Ivy- or Maven- based build.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ There are also SmartFrog components to retrieve artifacts from such a repository
+ (the Library components under /org/smartfrog/services/os/java/library.sf ),
+ which can be used for dynamic download of SmartFrog and other artifacts.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Security warning</h3>
+
+<p>
+ Unless SmartFrog is configured with security, a running daemon
+ will listen on its configured port for incoming deployment requests, and deploy
+ the applications with the rights of the user running the daemon. When the
+ smartfrog-daemon RPM is installed, that means that a process running as root
+ will be listening on an open port for incoming deployment requests.
+ Do not deploy SmartFrog this way on any untrusted
+ network, not without turning security on.
+</p>
+<p>
+ There is a special distribution .tar.gz file that can be used to generate
+ a private set of secure RPM files.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Building SmartFrog</h3>
+
+<p>
+ SmartFrog requires Java 1.6+ and Ant 1.7+ to build.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+
+ The distribution does not include a source tree adequate to build the entire
+ system. Please follow the instructions at
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=87384">http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=87384

+SmartFrog 3.17.010
+======================
+
+This is a new release of SmartFrog, the Java-based, LPGL-licensed
+distributed deployment framework developed by HP Laboratories. SmartFrog
+enables applications to be deployed across multiple machines,
+configuring different aspects of the system so that they are all
+consistently configured, and managing the life-cycle of the application
+as a whole. The project's home page is http://smartfrog.org/
+
+The release artifacts are available at
+
+http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87384&package_id=176308
+
+This release is 3.17.010; built from revision 7598
+of the SVN repository.
+
+It was compiled with the Java version set to Java 6 -it will not work
+on Java1.5 JVMs.
+
+This release includes the following items:
+
+* The core SmartFrog daemon, including services to manage files, start and stop
+ Java and native programs.
+* Example components and applications.
+* Ant support: ant tasks to deploy and terminate applications from a build.
+* Ant components: the ability to execute ant tasks in a deployment.
+* Anubis: a partition aware tuple-space that can be used to implement fault
+ tolerant systems.
+* Database: components to issue database commands, and deploy HSLDB and
+ MySQL databases.
+* Hadoop: a version of Apache Hadoop with SmartFrog management, and
+ support components to interact with Hadoop: filesystem operations and
+ Job submission. This is still experimental and must be considered
+ unstable.
+* JMX: the ability to configure and manage JMX components, and to manage
+ SmartFrog components over JMX.
+* Logging: integration with Apache commons-logging and Log4J, and the
+ SLF4J framework.
+* Networking: email, FTP, SSH, DNS support.
+* Quartz: scheduled operations using Quartz libraries.
+* RpmTools: components for working with or deploying with RPMs
+* Scripting: support for BSF-hosted scripting languages
+* Testing: Distributed JUnit and component testing with SFUnit.
+* Velocity: generation/transformation of text files during deployment
+* WWW: deployment of WAR and EAR files to application servers. deploy-by-copy
+ is provided for all application servers that support it, and sample templates
+ are provided to start and stop Tomcat and JBoss.
+* Jetty: The Jetty components can
+ configure and deploy individual servlets, eliminating much of the need for WAR
+ files and application servers.
+* XML: XML support with XOM.
+* XMPP: Presence and messaging over Jabber.
+
+
+Packaging
+=========
+
+This release is available as:
+
+* RPM files inside a .tar.gz file.
+* A JAR installer.
+* The original core smartfrog distribution as .zip and .tar.gz (deprecated).
+* A .tar.gz file containing everything needed to create a private set of RPM files
+ containing JAR files signed by a private Certification Authority.
+
+
+The RPM installation is for RPM-based Linux systems. The archive contains the
+following RPM files:
+
+smartfrog: The core SmartFrog distribution.
+smartfrog-daemon: The shell scripts to add the smartfrog distribution to the
+ path, and to run the daemon on start-up.
+smartfrog-demo: Example code and documentation.
+smartfrog-javadocs: Javadocs for the project
+smartfrog-ant: Ant task and build file execution
+smartfrog-anubis: Distributed partition-aware tuple space
+smartfrog-csvfiles: Support for reading/writing CSV Files.
+smartfrog-database: Database access
+smartfrog-jetty: Jetty support
+smartfrog-jmx: JMX integration though MX4J
+smartfrog-junit: Junit 3.8.2 test execution
+smartfrog-hadoop: Hadoop support
+smartfrog-logging: Logging through Log4J and commons-logging
+smartfrog-networking: SSH, SCP, FTP and email
+smartfrog-quartz: Scheduled operations
+smartfrog-rpmtools: RPM support tools
+smartfrog-scripting: Scripted components
+smartfrog-velocity: Velocity template processing
+smartfrog-www: Web support: Deployment and liveness pages
+smartfrog-xml: XML Support
+smartfrog-xmpp: XMPP/Jabber communications
+smartfrog-xunit: Distributed testing and reporting
+
+All the JAR files are also published to a repository that is compatible with
+Apache Maven and Ivy. Add http://smartfrog.sourceforge.net/repository/
+to your repository list to pull SmartFrog artifacts into your Ivy- or
+Maven- based build.
+
+There are also SmartFrog components to retrieve artifacts from such a repository
+(the Library components under /org/smartfrog/services/os/java/library.sf ),
+which can be used for dynamic download of SmartFrog and other artifacts.
+
+
+Security warning
+================
+
+Unless SmartFrog is configured with security, a running daemon will
+listen on its configured port for incoming deployment requests, and
+deploy the applications with the rights of the user running the daemon.
+When the smartfrog-daemon RPM is installed, that means that a process
+running as root will be listening on an open port for incoming
+deployment requests. Do not deploy SmartFrog this way on any untrusted
+network, not without turning security on.
+
+There is a special distribution .tar.gz file that can be used to generate
+a private set of secure RPM files.
+
+Building SmartFrog
+==================
+
+SmartFrog requires Java 1.6+ and Ant 1.7+ to build. The izpack and source .zip and
+.tar.gz distributions include a source tree adequate to build the
+entire system. To build a later release, please follow the instructions at
+ http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=87384
+to check out smartfrog/trunk/core from our repository.
+
+This release was built with revision 7598 of the repository, which
+is available under the SVN branch
+https://smartfrog.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/smartfrog/tags/release3.17.010
+
+We strongly encourage anyone interested in building or extending
+SmartFrog to get involved in the SmartFrog developer mailing list, which
+can be found from the sourceforge project page
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartfrog/

+** Bug
+ * [SFOS-495] - for dynamic classloading, we need a way to set the security policy in the ant tasks, and a default one if none is provided

+ * [SFOS-1013] - Test JobTracker isn't getting its file system URL right
+ * [SFOS-1031] - TaskTracker not shutting down
+ * [SFOS-1043] - CI tools are picking up the wrong version of the main distribution .zip file
+ * [SFOS-1051] - Ant <start> tests failing on Hudson
