+#### 15 October 2018 - Struts 2.5.18 General Availability {#a20181015-1}
+
+The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.5.18 is available as a "General Availability"
+release. 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.
+
+Below is a full list of all changes:
+
+ - `jar_cache` Some jar_cache******.tmp files are generated into a temporary directory(/tmp) during web service start
+ - Struts 2.5.16 is creating jar_cache files in temp folder
+ - MD5 and SHA1 should no longer be provided on download pages
+ - xml-validation fails since struts 2.5.17
+
+Internal Changes:
+
+- XWorkList was moved into a com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.impl package as com.opensymphony.xwork2.util package is excluded
+ by the Internal Security Mechanism.
+
+Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java web applications.

+Servlet API 2.4, JSP API 2.0, and Java 7.
+
+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.
