Hey All,
I just pushed 1.4 beta2 to SourceForge. I also requested that this
release be published to ibiblio for anyone using maven.
Beta 2 includes three or four fixes for bugs found in beta1. It also
includes one significant new feature. I don't really like
introducing new features in the beta cycle, but for the most part
this one amounts to shuffling code around as opposed to new
functionality. The feature in question is the pluggability of the
code for parsing multipart requests.
The main driver behind this change is that I was contacted about
distributing Stripes inside a commercial application someone was
building. Unfortunately the licensing terms for COS which Stripes
uses for file upload handling does not allow commercial re-
distribution without a separate license from Jason Hunter. There are
other libraries available, but all either have licensing restrictions
or more dependencies. At any rate, this is now pluggable and Stripes
1.4 will ship with a default implementation using COS and another
optional implementation using apache commons file-upload.
This is good news for anyone looking to build a commercially
distributable application using Stripes. It's also good for anyone
who's had trouble with file uploads, as you'll now have another
option to try :D
As always, downloads can be accessed from here:

-t
ps. to make things absolutely clear, the COS licensing issue only
affects commercial applications that are distributed to paying
customers. E.g. building another amazon.com or etrade.com is
fine :) Building the next JIRA and selling it commercially would not
be (unless you used the new commons-upload lib that is).
