Okay, if I do that and further refine it by:
All SEVERITY except enhancement Versions 1.1b1, Nightly Build, Unknown I am down to 23 bugs. Is this an accurate representation of what has to happen before the next beta release? Are Enhancements planned to be done before the next beta? Saying there are 23 known bugs to be fixed sounds much better for the project than including all the enhancement requests too! -----Original Message----- From: craigmcc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 12:09 PM To: struts-user Subject: RE: keeping the old debate open...

As of a few seconds ago, it finds 92 of them (many enhancements, many bugs against 1.0.x, and a few outstanding against 1.1).
