If I understand the issue correctly, I believe that both Struts beta3
and RC1 are dependent upon a non release version of the Commons Logging
API (something later than 1.0.2). If I am incorrect, I sincerely
apologize and ask that you ignore the rest of my email.
Otherwise, I'd ask that an important criteria in posting future releases
be considered. There should not be any dependencies upon nightly
builds. Two of my customers will not allow me to use nightly builds for
fear of bugs, and this prevents me from using either beta3 or RC1. This
comment on the struts website does not help my dilemma any:
"Nightly Builds are those that are very unstable (a.k.a. dynamite!).
We have no confidence in them. They are for developers who are helping
to develop the technology and want "the latest bits." Use at your own
risk!"
Please take these kinds of issues into consideration in the future.
Another consideration to help those who are not "in the loop", would be
to post the versions of dependent APis that were used to run the tests
in the release notes.
Thank you for the consideration!
Sincerely,
A fan.
