+ <h3><a name=""></a>04 Dec 2002 - Struts WML Tag Library 'raw prerelease'
available</h3>
+ <p>
+ Struts-wml taglib, 'raw prerelease' is available here:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ https://sourceforge.net/projects/struts-wml/
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Here's the release note:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This is a fully functional 'prerelease' which includes source code, sample
+ application, documentation, binary and libraries. It's still somewhat
+ unpolished (therefore raw prerelease). If you're willing to hack arround
+ with it a little bit, you're welcome to download it. Please don't forget to
+ contribute your changes back to the project!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Thanks to Jim Bonanno for code contributions, documentation, build scripts
+ etc, and to Daniel Honig for ideas, testing and support.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Unfortunatelly, I hadn't enough time to make different 'distributions', so
+ now we have just one file with everything in it. Future releases will
+ include 'full build', 'source only' etc.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ CVS is also up and running. I probably messed up something but will
+ hopefully fix that in the forthcoming days.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ And some remarks for the end:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Apache licence</li>
+ <li>Struts wml taglib is built against struts-1.1b2 source code, using ideas
+ from struts-html taglib.</li>
+ <li>It should be able to do whatever struts-html taglib is supposed to do,
+ but in the WML world, including validations, automatic field population and
+ other Struts goodies.</li>
+ <li>There's a special tag, wml:form. Since WML doesn't have <form>
element,
+ this taglib is introduced to take advantage of the Struts' functions such
+ as field population. It is not mandatory to use this tag, but without it,
+ it is not possible to have preselected lists etc. For more details, please
+ see the source code and the sample application.</li>
+ <li>Please ignore my, rather unpolished and somewhat confusing,
English.</li>
+ </ul>
-<h3><a name="20021203"></a>3 December 2002 - Struts book rated 11 out of 10</h3>
+ <p>
+ As soon as my schedule allows me, I'm going to release v1.0.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Please use SourceForge provided functionalities (mailing lists, bug
+ tracker, forums). Don't hesitate to 'get dirty' with the code, but make
+ sure to contribute the changes back to the project. If you're willing to
+ use CVS, open the SourceForge account and mail me the username.
