Getting ready
Follow the same steps as for Normal Release
Please be aware you should create a new Security Bulletin in secret, you should assign only struts-committers
group to be visible for. If the release will fix a - hopefully yet undisclosed - security issue, you must update the Security Bulletins page. It also needs to be accessible only by members of the struts-committers
group.
Apply security patch
Apply and commit security patch.
