Now that Struts 2.5.22 is out it's time to get Roller 6 out the door. To
that end, I have put together another release candidate for testing and
evaluation. I'm not going to call a vote just yet because I'd like to do a
little more testing on this build and update my site to use the latest from
the 6.0.x branch.
If you're interesting in helping out please take a look at this new build
and let the list know what you think.
Release candidate files are here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller/roller-6.0/v6.0.0/
Thanks,
Dave
