By the way:
While I want to strongly encourage people to start using the 1.3 code, anyone who chooses to do so should be aware that this is under active development. The last thing I want to do is cut a release of Struts with stuff that really isn't necessary and then be stuck deprecating and waiting for a "safe" time to remove things.
Specifically, I think that there's a good chance that the command implementation classes will change. I think that if we introduce the "ActionContext" class more widely throughout Struts, we will be able to remove many of the cases which currently require a separation between the o.a.s.chain.commands.generic.Abstract* and the concrete implementations in o.a.s.c.c.c.g.servlet. Of course, we'll update the default chain when we do this, but if you are also adding commands to the request processing cycle, you will have to keep up with this stuff yourself. (This then, is a strong warning that if you are using commons-chain for actions, you should use your own chain-config.xml files for those commands, rather than mingling them with the "struts" catalog.

I don't have ant (just the one in Eclipse v3) and want an executable 1.3 to play with. I've skimmed through the TLDs and love the idea of setting chains up in Actions so I want to try it in the 1.3 way, not the 1.2.6 "new classes" way.
You can download nightly binaries from http://struts.apache.org/acquiring.html#NightlyBuilds If you keep an eye on the struts-dev mailing list, you'll probably get wind of when you should download a new copy; at least, I've been trying to make note there any time I've committed considerable changes, and of course, you'll see the SVN commit messages which give you an idea of when things change.
