| THIS IS AN UNRATIFIED DRAFT DOCUMENT PROVIDED FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY! |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The objective of the <strong>Struts 1.2.0</strong> release is to provide an official version of all the |
| changes that have been made to the main trunk of the jakarta-struts CVS since the release of Struts 1.1 |
| Final. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="The Plan" href="plan"> |
| <p> |
| Since the release of version Struts 1.1 Final, we have removed many of the elements deprecated between |
| Struts 1.0 and Struts 1.1 and made several bug fixes and minor enhancements. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.2.0: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <em>Tag Date</em> - Saturday, September 7, 2003, 23:59:59 |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Release Manager</em> - Ted Husted |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Alpha Release Announcement</em> - To the following mailing list: |
| <ul> |
| <li>struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <em>Beta/General Release Announcement</em> - To the following mailing lists: |
| <ul> |
| <li>struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| <li>struts-user@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| <li>announcements@jakarta.apache.org</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| The release process shall follow the same general procedures established for the |
| <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html">Apache HTTPD project</a> and |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/">Jakarta Commons products</a>, and utilize the |
| HTTPD numbering scheme. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The release will initially be given an Alpha status and made available through the Release Manager's home |
| directory. |
| Pursuant to a Majority Vote on the <em>struts-dev</em> Mailing List, the release may be moved to the |
| public release directory. |
| The vote may also serve to reclassify the release to be of <strong>Beta</strong> or <strong>General Availability</strong> (GA) |
| quality, as defined by the Apache HTTPD project. |
| Subsequent votes may reclassify the release, either to promote it or to demote it, as need be. |
