Does anyone (Craig) know when 1.0 will be released? Craig, are you
holding off for bugfixes or some other piece of functionality?
Well, indirectly it's for functionality that has already been promised, but it's
really been an issue of time :-(.
My original plan was to release a 1.0 beta by the end of November. That didn't
happen, primarily because I had to go clean up the mess on Tomcat 3.2 and
actually get a release out. Now that that is done, and the next milestone of
Tomcat 4.0 will happen this week, I *finally* get to focus on Struts in depth
for a couple of weeks.
That being said, I'm going to implement many (but not all) of the requested
features, and get a 1.0 release out as soon as I can -- then proceed immediately
on working on features for 1.1 (which will include remaining things not done in
1.0 plus a bunch of cool new things :-). Thus, I'm going to focus on things
that need to be in 1.0 to avoid backwards compatibility problems later.
I'm trying to plan some architectural stuff and want to know whether I
should base my efforts off the head of the trunk or the 0.5 release.
I would really suggest working off the most recent nightly distributions, rather
than 0.5. I currently believe that all the changes that might break user code
(like switching ActionForm to be a class) have already been completed --
remaining things added to 1.0 *should not* break user code.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
