Giovanni,
Like you I am a pure 2.x developer these days, and I would have absolutely
no problem with the S1 plugin being spun off into a separate project, but as
things are I couldn't vote for it being anything more than a test build
because we are shipping something we know doesn't work with the latest
version of one of our own products.
As I see it this would be like Apple making and releasing a new Speaker
System today that wouldn't work with the iPod touch, or Microsoft releasing
a new version of Office which isn't compatible with Vista, whilst it's true
that a majority of people may not care, we know there will be those who do,
and therefore we are knowingly releasing a product which won't work when
people follow our own advise on setting up S1 projects.
If this were any other problem then it wouldn't be such a big problem for me
(e.g. I would still like the dojo plugin to be up to dojo 1.0 or spun off
before a GA release, but we don't tell people to use the latest version of
Dojo), but as the problems are purely of our own making then I believe we
have an obligation to sort them out before saying this is anything more than
a test release.
Al.

Hi Al,
For me as a pure 2.x user I find the fact that 2.1.1 would be hold back
only as an alpha just because of supporting a backward-compatibility S1
plugin is a huge pity to say the least :)
As a Struts user I personally would expect S1 plugin to have its own
release cycle away from the S2 release. This way you do not affect the
presumably lot of users (?) that are developing purely at level 2.x
Best regards,
Giovanni

The test build of Struts 2.1.1 is available.
No determination as to the quality ('alpha,' 'beta,' or 'GA') of
Struts 2.1.1 has been made, and at this time it is simply a "test
build". We welcome any comments you may have, and will take all
feedback into account if a quality vote is called for this build.
Release notes:
* http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/version-notes-211.html
Distribution:

Maven 2 staging repository:

We appreciate the time and effort everyone has put toward contributing
code and documentation, posting to the mailing lists, and logging
issues.
Don
