Otherwise it's "just typing", I hope to be done with Attribute definitions this week and then move on to the "easy" Data Connectors (in cooperation with Daniel). Then back to Attribute Filters (which are still only partially implemented)

FInishing up testing on 2.4, need to get security advisories from Brent, and need to write up upgrade material in wiki. Release probably mid-week.
Completed additional refactoring work on web flow, looking into how to reduce the complex boilerplate code in the actions by separating it from the execution logic, but need a place to store the data extracted from the message context. Could do this in two obvious places, the beans themselves (by making them stateful, non-singletons) or by creating one-off temp contexts in the context tree. Some concern about lack of experience with stateful web flow beans, but general sense is that using the context tree for scratch storage isn't a great approach. Scott and Brent both seem to prefer stateful beans at this point, Scott will try this out.
Also looking at dumping the Event annotation type and moving to a javadoc taglet approach, in turn should be able to move many existing actions into OpenSAML.

Have been thinking about gradle, ant, java, and spring-shell for installation and upgrades.
Some discussion about the installation issues. No strong feelings about the options. Marvin mentioned needing to do a custom installer at VT, may need to get more input from the community about the real needs here.
