The Wakame Project is now using the latest OpenSAML libraries which are now in version 2.2.3, released December 21, 2008. The update was relatively painless and provides improved memory usage:

This release contains a few minor bug fixes and a significant
improvement in memory usage. This improvement is especially profound
for metadata which is usually kept in memory. An average metadata file
should see about a 60-70% decrease in consumed memory when it is loaded.

Wakame is now being used in an interesting project based in the U.K. - as soon as this becomes public I’ll tell you more. We are now working on completing the People Service Client. Once this has been completed, Wakame will be a fully functioning ID-WSF 2.0 WSC Library.

If you live in New England, I hope you are enjoying the cold snap. I just returned from balmy Oslo where there seems to be an almost perpetual sunset during the 6 daylight hours this time of year.
