Craig, 1.0.2 may be the "standard production release," but it was obsolete the moment 1.1b-1 was released. I wouldn't encourage anyone to build applications with it. As far a the definition of "beta" being the feature list is frozen, that simply is not true in most cases, though you may have decided it in this case. "Beta" software, by definition, is distributed to a select group in order to elicit feedback not only on bugs, but on features that should be added and/or removed.
Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong. (apologies to Dennis Miller) Mark -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

It's perfectly reasonable to create a beta release of an "x.y.z" version number, but that was not done in this case. This is the standard production release of Struts at the moment. Struts/1.1-b1 is indeed a "beta" release -- no more features will be added (which is one of the things that can still happen with "alpha" releases) above what is already documented. The code base for 1.1 branched off from the code base for 1.0.x last January, and it is *substantially* different internally (especially in the controller portion, less so in the tag libraries), so the set of bugs it suffers is likely to be different from 1.0.x as well.
