The objective of the Struts 1.1 Final release is to provide an official release of all the bug fixes and documentation updates that have been made to the main trunk of the jakarta-struts CVS since the release of Struts 1.0.2.

Only minor changes have been made to the codebase since the Struts 1.1 RC2 release. Issues reported on the few oustanding tickets are either unconfirmed or may be categorized as enhancements and can be resolved in short order. Therefore it is time to make the latest code base available as the Struts 1.1 Final Release.

The final release of Commons FileUpload has been approved and will be available for distribution with Struts 1.1 Final, as required by the Struts 1.1 RC2 release plan.

Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.1 Final:

• Code Freeze / Tag Date - Saturday, June 28, 2003, 23:59:59
• Release Manager - Martin Cooper
• Release Announcement - To the following mailing lists:
  • announcements@jakarta.apache.org
  • struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
  • struts-user@jakarta.apache.org

The release process shall follow the same general procedures established the Jakarta Commons products.

Prior to the release of Struts 1.1 Final Release, the following action items must be completed:

• A release vote shall take place on the struts-dev mailing list to approve this plan. The release vote MUST pass by "Majority Approval" of Struts committers.
• The Struts 1.1 Release Notes document shall be updated to describe any substantial changes and improvements since the Struts 1.1 RC2 release, along with associated updates to the main Struts Documentation Application pages describing the new release.
• All of the Struts example applications that are included with the release shall operate successfully in the following servlet containers:
  • Tomcat 3.3.1
  • Tomcat 4.0.6
  • Tomcat 4.1.18

Prior to the release of a subsequent Struts 1.1 Final release, the following action items must be completed:

• All Bugzilla bug reports against Struts 1.1 RC2 MUST be marked as "Enhancement" or "Resolved", with any of the legal Bugzilla resolutions (FIXED, INVALID, WONTFIX, LATER, REMIND, WORKSFORME).
• Bug reports that are resolved as LATER or REMIND will include comments as to whether those specific issues will be dealt with in a subsequent beta, release candidate, or final release, or whether they will be scheduled for consideration in a subsequent release time frame.
• The final release of Commons-FileUpload 1.0 must be available and made part of the Struts 1.1 Final distribution.
