I didn't mean to nag or sound negative, but I'm glad you plan to do better. It isn't really the time between new features and bug fixes that "bother me" much, it's the time they take to finalize and release. The latest 1.3 releases have, to my recollection, had pretty few issues that have prevented them from being GA. Then it takes several months before you give it another try. I understand you all have limited time and resources, but when the code has been as stable and complete for so long as is the case with 1.3, I don't see why you (as in "the Struts commiters", not you particularly Ted ;) can't push it through faster. Couldn't some 2.0 work halted to just get this done? Again, I only mean this as constructive criticism, as I wish for Struts 2.x the very best. :) This is, I guess, pretty much what Ted and Don are talking about regarding 2.0.0. Please concentrate on the nearest release (which will hopefully be 2.0.0 very soon) instead of scattering your resources all over the place. :) \Anders --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
