Turbine core project
We are in the process of migrating old applications to the new Turbine framework. It turns out that a number of bugs have to be fixed, mostly in supporting Fulcrum components. Also the new security model showed some weaknesses which need to be addressed.
The last released version was Turbine 4.0-M2 (2015/12/22).
Fulcrum component project
Some bigger changes to the Fulcrum Security component. A few bugfixes to others. A new release of Fulcrum Security Torque will probably require a Torque 4.1 release first.
The last released component was Fulcrum Yaafi 1.0.7 (2015/10/09).
