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 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.
