13 March 2007 - Apache Struts 1.3.8 GA release available

The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce that Struts 1.3.8 has been promoted to General Availability. This release has over 40 bug fixes and improvements since 1.3.5

New Features:

[Action ID]

New "actionId" attribute to uniquely identify action mappings within a module. Just as the TilesRequestProcessor could recognize a tile definition and resolve it to the intended JSP, so does Struts now have built-in recognition for URIs that begin with an actionId and will automatically translate forwards.

[I18N Properties]

Tag libraries now include the HTML I18N properties. This allows sites that specialize in internationalization to specify both bi-directional text and language at the tag level.

[Dynamic Link Parameters]

The Struts <html:link>, <html:frame>, <html:rewrite> tag libraries now allow their bodies to nest the new <html:param> tag.

[Property MessageResources Modes]

Compatibility mode option which allows message resources to operate in modes compatible with either JSTL or PropertyResourceBundle.

Apache Struts 1.3.8 is available in a full distribution, or as separate library, source, example and documentation distributions.
