release, you should clean-compile your application with deprecation warnings enabled.
Alternatives should be available for all decprecated constructs.

- <p>Although not removed, in many cases
- <strong>you should replace</strong> the deprecated

- <p>
- <strong>TagUtils and ModuleUtils</strong> - Many utility methods
previously found in

removed</strong> - The datasources manager is still supported, but our own

DataSource implementation, but we do not have the resources to maintain one of our
own. If your container does not supply a DataSource implementation, the DBCP package
from the Jakarta Commons is suggested.</p>
- <p>
- <strong>Validator enhancements</strong> 
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>ValidWhen? - The Struts Validator now supports a ValidWhen
rule, so that one validation can be dependant on another. <a

- <li>IntRange now checks select-one and radio fields. Example: This
allows populating combo boxes with valid choices plus one additional choice with a
caption something like "Choose one" and a value 0f "-1". Then when the user attempts
to submit the form, you can look for the value of "-1" and yell at them if they failed
to pick something.</li>
- <li>You can now force the clientside Javascript validation to check
all constraints, instead of stopping at the first error. By setting a new property,
<code>stopOnFirstError</code>, on the Validator PlugIn to false. <a
href="dev_validator.html#stopOnFirstError">Details ...</a></li>
- <li>The "required" validation can now handle checkboxes,
radio,select-one, and select-multiple field types. See the updated Validator example
application to see these new features in action.</li>
- <li>A standard <code>validateUrl</code> rule lets you check if a
property contains a well-formed URL.</li>

- <strong>ModuleConfigVerifier</strong> - While not exactly new, a
standard class for verifying module configurations is also available in the PlugIn
packages. As it stands, the <code>ModuleConfigVerifier</code> mainly confirms that
various components of the Struts object graph were loaded. However, ambitious
developers could extend this class with additional checks to ensure the Struts
configuration is internally consistent.</p>

significant progress has been made toward putting the Struts build process under
<a href="http://maven.apache.org";>Maven</a>. The core JAR and TLDs can be
built using Maven, leveraging the shared Maven repository for our many dependencies.
You can find the current maven.xml and project.xml in the root directory of the Struts
source distribution. However, at this time, the original Ant build files are still the
official mechanism for building Struts.</p>

DTD adds two new elements <display-name> and <description> to the
struts-config element. These elements are for use by struts config file tools and
document generation. In the Struts 1.2.x series, existing Struts configuration files
can be loaded using either DTD version.</p>
