+ <h4 id="a20070612">12 June 2007 - Struts v2.0.8 GA Release</h4>
+
+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.8
+ is available as a "General Availability" release. The GA
+ designation is our highest quality grade.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for
+ creating enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework
+ is designed to streamline the full development cycle, from
+ building, to deploying, to maintaining applications over time.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2. After working
+ independently for several years, the WebWork and Struts
+ communities joined forces to create Struts2. This new version of
+ Struts is simpler to use and closer to how Struts was always
+ meant to be.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <em>Build!</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy startup</strong> - Jumpstart new projects
with our bootstrap tutorial and template application or Maven archetype.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Improved Design</strong> - Code clean against
HTTP-independent framework interfaces.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Enhanced Tags</strong> - Code less with
stylesheet-driven form tags that provide their own markup.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Stateful Checkboxes</strong> - Avoid special
handling with smart checkboxes that know when they are toggled.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Flexible Cancel Buttons</strong> - Go directly to
a different action on cancel.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>First-class AJAX support</strong> - Add
interactivity and flexibility with AJAX tags that look and feel just like
standard Struts tags.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy Spring integration</strong> - Inject
dependencies into Actions using Spring without glue code or red tape. (Plexus
support also available.)
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Enhanced Results</strong> - Do more with specialty
results for JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action chaining, and file downloading.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>POJO forms</strong> - No more ActionForms! Use
any JavaBean to capture form input or
+ put properties directly on an Action class. Use both
binary and String properties!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>POJO Actions</strong> - Use any class as an Action
class -- even the
+ interface is optional!
+ </li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+ <li>
+ <em>Deploy!</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy plugins</strong> - Add framework extensions
by dropping in a JAR.
+ No manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add
support for JavaServer Faces,
+ JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Integrated profiling</strong> - Peek inside
Struts<sup>2</sup> to find where the cycles are going!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Precise Error Reporting</strong> - Flip directly
to the location and line of an error.
+ </li>
+ </ul></li>
+ <li>
+ <em>Maintain!</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-test Actions</strong> - Test
Struts<sup>2</sup> Actions directly,
+ without resorting to mock HTTP objects.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Intelligent Defaults</strong> - Skip obvious and
redundant settings. Most framework configuration
+ elements have a default value that we can set and forget.
Say it once!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-customize controller</strong> - Customize
the request handling
+ per action, if desired. Struts<sup>2</sup> only does what
you want it to do!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Integrating Debugging</strong> - Research problem
reports with built-in
+ debugging tools.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-tweak tags</strong> - Customize tag markup
by editing a FreeMarker
+ template. No need to grok the taglib API!
+ <em>JSP, FreeMarker, and Velocity tags are fully
supported.</em>
+ </li>
+ </ul></li></ul>
+
+ <p>
+ This release has over 60 bug fixes and improvements since 2.0.6!
+ New Features include:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Cookie Interceptor</strong><br />
+ Inject cookie with a certain configurable name / value into
action.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Restful2ActionMapper</strong><br />
+ Allow automatic id setting from Restful2ActionMapper.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Struts 2.0.8 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
+ library, source, example and documentation distributions, from
+ the <a href="http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts208";>
+ releases page.</a>
+ The release is also available through the central Maven
repository
+ under Group ID "org.apache.struts".
+ The release notes are
+ <a
href="http://struts.apache.org/2.0.8/docs/release-notes-208.html";>
+ available online</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The 2.0.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum
+ requirement of the following specification versions: Servlet API
+ 2.4, JSP API 2.0, Java 5, Backported Java 4 JARs
+ are also available.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the
+ Struts framework, please post your comments to the user list,
+ and, if appropriate, file a ticket with JIRA.
+ </p>
