Hi Robert,
Thanks for responding (I get this in digest version, so I put your reply below)!
Actually, I do not need a full release; but I think that the Struts team does.
there is a considerable overlap between the teams. i'd hope that people would shout if this really were the case :)
I was using one of the release candidates with the intention of upgrading when they released 1.1 (which they did). The release candidate used BeanUtils 1.7... BUT, their final 1.1 release uses BeanUtils 1.6.1 (which makes sense, as they want to have all of the released code synced up). I did not realize this until quite a bit later and now I am stuck. I can't go to the released version of Struts 1.1 because I am using BeanUtilsBean, ConvertUtilsBean, and PropertyUtilsBean (which do not exist in BeanUtils 1.6.1).
i'm not sure that i understand you problem. CVS HEAD should be backwards compatible with 1.6.1 and so you should be able to drop it in as a replacement, shouldn't you?
IMHO (and i can only speak for myself) there are two major factors preventing a new beanutils release.
the first is finding someone on the pmc to volunteer to act as a release manager. (but this isn't a big problem.)
the second is doing the work required before we can commit to a release. there's quite a lot of work to do (both in implementation and design) but a shortage of development energy. i'm very glad to see that yoav's stepped up. if some more people volunteered to take on some development, then we'd probably get a lot closer a lot quicker.
personally speaking, beanutils will not be a high priority until betwixt is much closer a release.
