The Legion of the Bouncy Castle has released version 1.32
of the Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography API, an open source,
clean-room implementation of the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE).
It supports X.509 certificates, PKCS12, S/MIME, CMS, PKCS7, and lots of other juicy acronyms. It also includes its own light-weight crypto API that works in Java 1.0 and later, and does not depend on the JCE.
Version 1.32 adds support for F2m elliptic curves and ECDSA with CMS and S/MIME.
Download it while it's still legal.
Version 1.1.7 of the

It also includes ports
to DROPS, the Blackfin CPU, DragonFly BSD.
ia64-freebsd, alpha-freebsd, and powerpc-openbsd;
and of course there are numerous speedups and bug fixes.
Atlassian has released version 3.5.3 of JIRA, a $1200-$4800 payware J2EE-based bug
tracking and project management server application. This is a bug fix release.
I've been using Jira lately with Jaxen and Apache.
It's a definite improvement over Bugzilla. I'm not sure it really does anything
that Bugzilla doesn't do (at least not anything I use) but the user interface is about a hundred times cleaner.
