| |
| The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts #.#.# is available as a "[Beta | General Availability]" |
| release. [[The Beta designation indicates that we believe the distribution needs wider testing before being upgraded |
| to a "General Availability" release. Your input is essential.] The GA designation is our highest quality grade.] |
| |
| Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework |
| is designed to streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to maintaining applications over time. |
| |
| [This release includes one important security fix:] |
| |
| All developers are strongly advised to update existing Struts 2 applications to Struts #.#.#. |
| |
| Struts #.#.# is available in a full distribution, or as separate library, source, example and documentation distributions, |
| from the releases page. |
| * http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts### |
| |
| The release is also available from the central Maven repository under Group ID "org.apache.struts". |
| |
| The #.#.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum requirement of the following specification versions: |
| * Java Servlet 2.4 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.0 |
| * Java 2 Standard Platform Edition (J2SE) 7 |
| |
| The release notes are available online at: |
| * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version+Notes+#.#.# |
| |
| Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the Struts framework, please post your comments to the user list, |
| and, if appropriate, file a tracking ticket.appropriate, file a tracking ticket: |

| <p>When a serious security issue arises, we should try to create a #.#.#.# branch from the last GA release, and apply |
| to that branch only the security patch.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>If the patch first applies to some other dependency, implore the other group to do the same, to avoid side-effects |
| from other changes.</li> |
| <li>If the release manager would like to “fast track” a vote, so as to make a security fix available quickly, the preferred |
| procedure is to |
| <ul> |
| <li>Include the term “fast-track” in the subject, as in <code class="highlighter-rouge">[VOTE] Struts 2.0.9.1 quality (fast track)</code></li> |
| <li>In the vote message, specify voting terms like:</li> |

| Everyone who has tested the build is invited to vote. Votes by PMC members are considered binding. A vote passes |
| if there are at least three binding +1s and more +1s than -1s. |
| |
| This is a "fast-track" release vote. If we have a positive vote after 24 hours (at least three binding +1s and more +1s |
| than -1s), the release may be submitted for mirroring and announced to the usual channels. |
| |
| The website download link will include the mirroring timestamp parameter [1], which limits the selection of mirrors |
| to those that have been refreshed since the indicated time and date. (After 24 hours, we *must* remove the timestamp |
| parameter from the website link, to avoid unnecessary server load.) In the case of a fast-track release, the email |
| announcement will not link directly to <download.cgi>, but to <downloads.html>, so that we can control use of the timestamp |
| parameter. |
