<h4 id="a20071023">23 October 2007 - Struts 2.0.11 General Availability Release</h4>
<p>
The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.11 is
available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is
our highest quality grade.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
This release includes a number of fixes and improvements since the
2.0.9 GA release. Struts 2.0.11 is available in a full distribution,
or as separate library, source, example and documentation
distributions, from the
<a href="http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts2011">releases page</a>.
The release is also available through the central Maven repository under Group ID
"org.apache.struts". The
<a href="http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/release-notes-2011.html">release notes</a>
are available online.
</p>
<p>
The 2.0.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum
requirement of the following specification versions: Servlet API 2.4,
JSP API 2.0, Java 5, Backported Java 4 JARs are also available.
</p>
<p>
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
<a href="https://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/Dashboard.jspa">tracking ticket</a>.
</p>
<h4 id="a20071012b">12 October 2007 - New Struts Committer -- Dave Newton</h4>
<p>
Please join us in welcoming Dave Newton as a new Struts committer.
</p>
<p>
Dave's been doing "yeoman work" on the user list for some time now,
filing issues, and helping with the documentation. It's likely that
he's edited the most documentation pages of any non-committer.
</p>
<p>
Welcome, Dave, now you can update the JavaDocs to better match the
Confluence pages!
</p>
<p>
PMC vote: 5 +1.
</p>
<h4 id="a20071012">12 October 2007 - New Struts Committer -- Brian Pontarelli </h4>
<p>
Please join us in welcoming Brian Pontarelli as a new Struts committer.
</p>
<p>
Brian developed the SmartURLs plugin, which is being merged with the
CodeBehind plugin for bundling with Struts 2.1. The original
CodeBehind plugin and Zero-Configuration code, developed by Don Brown,
was loosely based on the ASP.NET approach. Brian's SmartURLs plugin
gives the original approach a more Struts-like spin and adds SEO URIs.
</p>
<p>
Welcome, Brian, I think we're all looking forward to an agile, XML-free future!
</p>
<p>
PMC vote: 4 +1; 1 +0.
</p>
<h4 id="a200709022">22 September 2007 - New Struts Committer -- Matt Raible</h4>
<p>
Please join us in welcoming Matt Raible as a new Struts committer.
</p>
<p>
Over many years, Matt Raible has been one the most involved members of
our community, for Struts 1, Struts 2, and WebWork. He's also a member
of the Apache Roller project, which recently migrated from Struts 1 to
Struts 2. Though sometimes critical, his comments are always meant to
be constructive. He's participated in over fifty JIRA tickets, and
over a hundred threads on struts-user and struts-dev. Of course, many
of us have also met Matt, since he frequently attends ApacheCon and
other conventions.
</p>
<p>
Welcome, Matt ... BTW, have you heard that our invalid property error
reporting sucks^g^g^g^g needs work?
</p>
<p>
PMC vote: 12 +1. (Could be a record!)

<h4 id="a20070724">24 July 2007 - Struts 2.0.9 General Availability Release with Important Security Fix</h4>
<p>
<strong><a href="http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts209">Apache Struts 2.0.9</a>
includes an important security fix regarding <a href="http://struts.apache.org/docs/s2-001.html">a remote code
exploit.</a></strong>
ALL STRUTS 2 DEVELOPERS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO UPDATE TO STRUTS 2.0.9 IMMEDIATELY!
</p>
<p>
<em>PLEASE NOTE that this bulletin DOES NOT apply to Struts 1.x!</em>
</p>
<p>

<h4 id="a20070708">8 July 2007 - Struts Downloads Skyrocket in 2007</h4>
<p>
Since its release in June 2001, Apache Struts
(struts.apache.org) has become the most popular web framework
for Java. Six years later, by any objective measure, Struts is
still Java's most popular web framework.
</p>
<p>
In February and March 2007, the group released both Struts 1.3.8
and Struts 2.0.6 to the general public, and Struts downloads
zoomed to over 340,000 a month from the Apache site alone [1].
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Most copies of Struts
are downloaded from an network of mirrors or obtained from Maven
repositories. Meanwhile, monthly page Views for the Struts
website soared to over 2.1 million, up from levels of about 1.3
million page views in June 2004. Subscriptions to the Struts
mailing lists hold steady at about 3,000 accounts, not counting
people who use services like Nabble and GMane.
</p>
<p>
Since the framework's debut, well over twenty books about Apache
Struts have been published [2], along with hundreds of online
articles, and dozens of third-party extensions [3]. Books and
articles devoted to Struts 2 are already appearing. InfoQ has
released "Starting with Struts2" both as a free PDF and as a
hardcopy book via LuLu.com [4]. Mark Menard has started a Struts
2 cookbook [5], and sites like Rose India and ArcTech are
offering extensive Struts 2 tutorials [6]. Many teams are
already moving Struts 1 applications to Struts 2, including the
popular Apache Roller blogging application [7].
</p>
<p>
An exciting feature of Struts 2 is configuration-free plugins.
Third-party components can be added to the framework just by
putting a JAR on the Java classpath. In fact, many of the
framework's advanced features are provided by plugins that ship
with Struts 2. A plugin repository site is open to the public
[8], and several plugins are already available, including
plugins for JSON, WebFlow, Google Web Toolkit, and Guice.
</p>
<p>
While there is no lack of choice in the Java framework space,
the clear winner with grassroots developers is still Apache
Struts. With first-class support for Ajax, JSF, unit testing,
and dependency injection, Struts 2 is an excellent choice for
teams that want to step forward, without stepping away.

<h4 id="a20070612">12 June 2007 - Struts v2.0.8 GA Release</h4>
<p>
The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.8
is available as a "General Availability" release. The GA
designation is our highest quality grade.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Apache Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2. After working
independently for several years, the WebWork and Struts
communities joined forces to create Struts2. This new version of
Struts is simpler to use and closer to how Struts was always
meant to be.
</p>

<li>
<em>Build!</em>
<ul>

<strong>Easy startup</strong> - Jumpstart new projects with our bootstrap tutorial and template application or
Maven archetype.
</li>

<strong>Improved Design</strong> - Code clean against HTTP-independent framework interfaces.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Enhanced Tags</strong> - Code less with stylesheet-driven form tags that provide their own markup.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Stateful Checkboxes</strong> - Avoid special handling with smart checkboxes that know when they are
toggled.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Flexible Cancel Buttons</strong> - Go directly to a different action on cancel.

<li>
<strong>First-class AJAX support</strong> - Add interactivity and flexibility with AJAX tags that look and feel
just like standard Struts tags.

red tape. (Plexus support also available.)
</li>
<li>
<strong>Enhanced Results</strong> - Do more with specialty results for JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action
chaining, and file downloading.
</li>
<li>
<strong>POJO forms</strong> - No more ActionForms! Use any JavaBean to capture form input or
put properties directly on an Action class. Use both binary and String properties!
</li>
<li>
<strong>POJO Actions</strong> - Use any class as an Action class -- even the
interface is optional!
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<em>Deploy!</em>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Easy plugins</strong> - Add framework extensions by dropping in a JAR.

<h4 id="a20070310">10 March 2007 - Struts v1.3.8 GA Release</h4>
<p>
The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 1.3.8
is available as a "General Availability" release. The GA
designation is our highest quality grade.
</p>
<p>
This release has over 40 bug fixes and improvements since 1.3.5!
New Features include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Action ID</strong><br/>
New <code>actionId</code> attribute to uniquely identify action mappings
within a module. Just as the TilesRequestProcessor could recognize a tile
definition and resolve it to the intended JSP, so does Struts now have
built-in recognition for URIs that begin with an actionId and will
automatically translate forwards.
</li>
<li>
<strong>I18N Properties</strong><br/>
Tag libraries now include the HTML I18N properties. This allows sites
that specialize in internationalization to specify both bi-directional
text and language at the tag level.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Dynamic Link Parameters</strong><br/>
The Struts &lt;html:link&gt;, &lt;html:frame&gt;, &lt;html:rewrite&gt; tag
libraries now allow their bodies to nest the new &lt;html:param&gt; tag.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Property MessageResources Modes</strong><br/>
Compatibility mode option which allows message resources to operate in
modes compatible with either JSTL or PropertyResourceBundle.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Struts 1.3.8 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
library, source, example and documentation distributions.
