+#### 17 November 2024 - Apache Struts version 6.7.0 General Availability
{#a20241117}
+
+The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Apache Struts version
6.6.7 is available as a "General Availability"
+release. The GA designation is our highest quality grade.
+
+The Apache Struts is an elegant, extensible framework for creating
enterprise-ready Java web applications.
+The framework has been designed to streamline the full development cycle, from
building, to deploying,
+to maintaining applications over time.
+
+A lot of classes have been marked as deprecated because of relocation of them
into a new package. All classes from
+package `com.opensymphony.xwork2` will be moved into `org.apache.struts2` in
Struts 7 and this deprecation can help you
+adapt to incoming changes. Please be aware that we are dropping support for
DWR and Sitemesh plugins.
+In the case of DWR there is no more active development nor support for
JakartaEE.
+Sitemesh can be integrated directly with the framework, please check
[sitemesh3](https://github.com/apache/struts-examples/tree/master/sitemesh3)
example.
+
+> Please read the [Version Notes]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Version+Notes+6.7.0) to
find more details about performed
+> bug fixes and improvements.
+
+**All developers are strongly advised to perform this upgrade.**
+
+The 6.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum requirement of the
following specification versions:
+Servlet API 3.1, JSP API 2.1, and Java 8.
+
+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 tracking ticket]({{ site.jira_url }}).
+
+You can download this version from our [download](download.cgi#struts-ga) page.
