Thats my memory as well - the main change being inheritance, plus a few bug fixes and deprecations being removed. Personally I haven't tried out inheritance, so I can't vouch for it - but releasing a beta might prompt a wider audience to give it a go. The main hurdleIMO to people moving or trying

True, but it is a start. I'm +1 on aiming for a 1.2 beta of commons-validator to coincide roughly with a Struts 1.3 release. I've wittled down the bug list to one real bug and it kinda has a patch for it available. Looking at the steps on our site [1], looks like the first step is voting a
