| |
| <p>The objective of the <strong>Struts 1.1 Beta 1</strong> release is to |
| create a milestone release against which a final series of bug fixes and |
| documentation updates can occur before a <strong>Struts 1.1 Final</strong> |
| release is created.</p> |
| |
| </section> |
| |
| |
| <section name="The Plan" href="Plan"> |
| |
| <p>Many new features have been added to the nightly builds since the release |
| of Struts 1.0, and many bugs have been fixed. Several of the new features are |
| in high demand by current Struts users, and so it is time to start the process |
| of making this new code base available as a formal release. The first step in |
| this process is an initial beta release, with the goal of moving towards a |
| release candidate and then a final <strong>Struts 1.1</strong> release as |
| soon as is practicable.</p> |
| |
| <p>Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.1 Beta 1: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><em>Code Freeze / Tag Date</em> - Monday, March 18, 2002</li> |
| <li><em>Release Manager</em> - Martin Cooper</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> |
| |
| </section> |
| |
| |
| <section name="Release Criteria" href="Criteria"> |
| |
| <p>Prior to the release of Struts 1.1 Beta 1, the following action items |
| must be completed:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The Struts 1.1 Release Notes document shall be updated to describe |
| substantial changes and improvements since the Struts 1.0.2 release, |
| along with associated updates to the main Struts Documentation |
| Application pages describing the new release.</li> |
| <li>All of the Struts example applications that are included with the release |
| shall operate successfully in the following servlet containers: |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat">Tomcat 3.3</a></li> |
| <li><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat">Tomcat 4.0.3</a></li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>A release vote shall take place on the STRUTS-DEV mailing list to |
| approve this plan. The release vote MUST pass by "Majority Approval" |
| of Struts committers.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Prior to the release of a subsequent Struts 1.1 release candidate, the |
| following action items must be completed:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>All <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/">Bugzilla</a> bug reports |
| against Struts 1.1 nightly builds MUST be marked as "Resolved", with any |
| of the legal Bugzilla resolutions (FIXED, INVALID, WONTFIX, LATER, |
| REMIND, WORKSFORME).</li> |
| <li>Bug reports that are resolved as LATER or REMIND will include comments |
| as to whether those specific issues will be dealt with in a subsequent |
| release candidate, or final release, or whether they will be scheduled |
| for consideration in a subsequent release time frame.</li> |
| </ul> |
