With great trepidation, I must inquire as to the likelihood of a next
release of the commons-validator in the near term future. (ducking for cover
now as the flames telling me to read the Apache release process policy on
the web site are fired off in my direction ;-)).

Seriously, I did look in the bug database already. If my search was setup
correctly, I only saw 5 open bugs against Validator (amazingly low number
given that it is supposed to be "crap") and they were all categorized as
enhancement requests.

I suspect that not too much has changed since the version that shipped with
Struts 1.1. So, you may not want to push out a new release at this time.
However, it is unfortunate that the ability to modularize development of
larger apps with multiple struts-config files and multiple application
resource files is pretty much there in the Struts 1.1 release except for
mutliple resource files support in Validator. Since it looks like the
support for "bundle" attributes was added at least at the "arg" level, a dot
release now of just the commons-validator would make it possible to use
multiple resource files to some degree with the Validator in a Struts 1.1
webapp.

I'm not looking for a fixed date commitment. I realize it is all volunteer
efforts on this stuff that can't be held to any particular schedule. I'll
totally understand if there are no plans to move towards a dot release of
Validator anytime soon, but, I am curious as to whether plans to move
towards a dot release are imminent or not even on the horizon.
