16
<p>The objective of the <strong>Struts 1.0-beta-1</strong> release is to
17
create a milestone release against which a final series of bug fixes and
18
documentation updates can occur before a <strong>Struts 1.0 Final</strong>
19
release is created.</p>
24
<section name="The Plan" href="Plan">
26
<p>The code base for Struts has been in an informal "feature freeze" for
27
several weeks, while development focus has been on bug fixes and the
28
completion of required documentation. Both of these goals have been
29
substantially achieved, so it is time for a formal beta release - with
30
the goal of moving quickly to a final <strong>Struts 1.0</strong> release
31
shortly thereafter, if no disabling defects are found.</p>
33
<p>Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for Struts 1.0-beta-1:
36
<li><em>Code Freeze / Tag Date</em> - Wednesday, February 21, 2001</li>
37
<li><em>Release Manager</em> - Craig McClanahan</li>
