It would be nice if the publishers offered an 'update' to this and other books on topics that evolve. I'd love to have the new edition of Struts in Action, but I'm not going to pay another $45 for 600 pages of mostly repeated information. I value the new information, but also value my bookshelf space.
Does anybody know of a book or resource (other than this fine list) on Struts that just covers the changes in the recent version?

Unfortunately, all I can say is we are starting on the book now and are dedicated to getting it out as soon as we can. The first edition is good up to 1.1 and is still very relevant. Struts 1.2 added some minor features, but is very close to 1.1. Struts 1.3, on the hand, is shaping up to be closer to the jump from 1.0 to 1.1, and it is this version Struts in Action 2nd Edition is aiming to cover (along with 1.2 of course).
