| |
| <p>The objective of the <strong>Struts 1.1 Release Candidate 2</strong> |
| release is to create a milestone release in preparation for an imminent |
| <strong>Struts 1.1 Final</strong> release. As a release candidate, this |
| milestone release currently contains no known showstoppers.</p> |
| |
| </section> |
| |
| |
| <section name="The Plan" href="Plan"> |
| |
| <p>A number of bugs have been fixed since and other internal changes made |
| since the first release candidate of Struts 1.1. |
| All remaining tickets have been categorized either as enhancements, or as |
| problems which can be fixed in a release subsequent to Struts 1.1 Final. |
| Therefore it is time to make the latest code base available as a first Release |
| Candidate. The goal is to move towards a final <strong>Struts 1.1</strong> |
| release as soon as is practicable. </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| This release candidate includes the Commons FileUpload RC1 JAR, |
| which is required to compile and use Struts 1.1. |
| A final release of Struts must depend only on final releases of other |
| required products. Consequently, the Struts 1.1 Final release cannot |
| be made unitl the Commons FileUpload 1.0 Final Release is available. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| However, Pending the final release of Commons FileUpload 1.0, |
| and should there be no showstoppers found in this release candidate, |
| <strong>Sunday June 29, 2003</strong>, is set as the anticipated release date of |
| Struts 1.1 Final. |
| Anyone wishing to test the product before the final release |
| is encourged to do so before that date. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.1 Release Candidate 2: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>Code Freeze / Tag Date</em> - Friday, June 6, 2003, 23:59:59</li> |
| <li><em>Release Manager</em> - Ted Husted</li> |
| <li><em>Release Announcement</em> - To the following mailing lists: |
| <ul> |
| <li>announcements@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| <li>struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| <li>struts-user@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| </ul></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| This plan is being prepared and executed in accordance with a positive vote |
| held on the STRUT-DEV list, beginning on May 29, |
| the results of which were posted on June 3, 2003. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The release process shall follow the same |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/">general procedures</a> |
| established the Jakarta Commons products. |
