Struts 2.x versions and documentation

2008-04-21 Thread Chase
I'm confused by some of the documentation and hope someone can clarify 
things for me.


I'm using what I think is the latest version of Strut 2.
struts-2.0.11.1-all.zip (released Mar 04, 2008)

I'm looking at the docs for the version of Struts I'm using.
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/action.html (last edited on Jul 
03, 2007)


But there seem to be some things that aren't right. For instance the 
documentation for the action tag lists the following 2 attributes:

id, Description Deprecated. Use 'var' instead
var, Description Name used to reference the value pushed into the 
Value Stack


But my struts-tags.tld only has the id attribute and not the ?newer? 
var. Are the docs referring to a future version of Struts? or are they 
referencing an older version and the addition of var was rolled back?


Should I or someone else be filling a bug report for the online docs?

Thanks,
-Chase

id is for S2.0, var for S2.1.

Not all of the docs are complete with regards to version info.

Do you know if the documentation for Struts 2 is shared across all 2.x 
versions? Should var be removed from the 2.0 docs or does it just need 
a version note added? I'd like to see about getting this fixed.


Given that the doc in question was last edited July 2007 to include 2.1 
information has 2.1 been released already and I'm just not looking in 
the right place?

Struts 2.1 has no GA release yet. That said, I think it is very stable and 
possibly much better than 2.0.x

If using Maven2, you can use this repo:
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/

afaik 2.1.2-SNAPSHOT should be the newest version:
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/struts/struts2-core/2.1.2-SNAPSHOT/

Yes. There's no real way to version the wiki; it's exported into the release,
but information is modified on an ongoing basis regardless of the currently
released version.

 Should var be removed from the 2.0 docs or does it just need

It, along with several other issues, need version information added. If
you're interested in assisting, see [1].

S2.1 has not reached a GA release. As was noted, test builds are available or
it can be built directly from source.
