| -[BOARD REPORT] 20-Oct-2004 Apache Struts- |
| |
| The Struts community has recently released Struts 1.2.4 as the latest |
| stable version, focused on cleaning up deprecations from previous versions, |
| refactoring utility classes to improve separability of the core framework |
| from view tier dependencies, and incorporating the latest Commons libraries |
| on which we are dependent. |
| |
| We recently completed a migration of our source code repository from |
| CVS to Subversion, and are leveraging its capabilities to refactor the |
| source code into separately releaseable components. The first such |
| separate release is likely to be the Struts-Faces integration library |
| (an adapter between Struts and JavaServer Faces). |
| |
| The community is busy planning an evolutionary path that focuses on |
| fundamentally backwards compatible improvements, and a revolutionary |
| ("Struts 2") path that will leverage the industry wide lessons in how |
| web application frameworks should architected in the four years |
| since Struts was created. The discussions are proceeding harmoniously |
| and productively. |

| |
| -PMC Actions- |
| |
| * Started reorganization of repository. The goals of the refactoring are to better support |
| |
| * Subprojects |
| * Maven builds |
| |
| The reorganization is being done under Subversion on an offsite server. We will be moving this to an Apache server soon, now that we have a consensus in favor of Subversion and Maven. |
| |
| * Completed draft of Apache Struts bylaws: http://struts.apache.org/bylaws.html |
| |
| |
| -Significant threads- |
| |
| * We discussed the "bar" for Committership. The consensus is to keep the bar fairly high and wait until a Committer has submitted a number of useful patches to Struts directly, rather than to related projects elsewhere. |
| |
| |
| -Releases- |
| |
| * Stable release: 1.1 (29 June 2003). |
| |
| * Beta release: 1.2.1 (11 July 2004) |
| |
| * We anticipate 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 being promoted to GA in the next 30 days. |
| |
| |
| -Roadmap- |
| |
| * We are discussing renumbering coding initatives, so that the current reorganization under SVN becomes 2.0, but that is undecided. Heretofore, the plans has been: |
| |
| * Struts 1.x will remain based on Servlet 1.2/JSP 1.1 (evolution). |
| |
| * Struts 1.3.x will introduce the "Struts Chain" request processor. Some packages, like the taglibs, will be released as separate subprojects. |
| |
| * Struts 2.x will be based on Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 (revolution). |
| |
| * For more see <http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/roadmap.html>. |
