Hi Lukasz and Greg. I think the change to escape the tag body HTML by default may have been a "defensive stance" for the tags ? Changing the default escaping behaviour to false might be better for some use cases, though. Maybe the tag body escaping behaviour should still be true by d

Hello Greg. Those log warnings are due to WW-5077 changes (2020/05/24), which are more detailed (and at warn-level) when devMode is true. When devMode is false, it reverts to the old behaviour of a shorter debug-level-only output. There is a (fairly old) unit test which indicates "struts.token
