I've prepared a first Release Candidate (RC) for Apache Roller 5.0.1
and you can find it at the link below. At this time, these files are
ONLY for testing purposes and are NOT considered release from the
Apache Software Foundation.

   http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/apache-roller-5.0.1-RC1/

This release is exactly the same as the Roller 5.0 release except that
it contains these three security related fixes:

   Option to HTML sanitize weblog content
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1943

   Salt values in all HTML forms
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1944

   Moving to new versions of Struts and Spring security
   http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1231565

It is important to get this release out as soon as possible, so please
take a look at the release if / when you have a chance. Because the
changes are limited and this new release is now successfully running
in production at blogs.apache.org, I don't think we need extensive
testing. We do need to do some sanity checks.

Here are some things you can do to help test, in order of difficulty:
   - Verify that the files can be unpackaged successfully
   - Verify that the signatures are valid
   - Verify that the source release builds
   - Attempt to install and run the Tomcat build
   - Attempt to install and run the Java EE build on Glassfish

Thanks,
- Dave
