[Rene Gielen <rg...@apache.org>]

The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.12 is
available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is our
highest quality grade.

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.

This release includes a number of bug fixes since the 2.0.11.2 GA release,
including important security fixes regarding remote server context
manipulation by injecting OGNL expressions in request parameters and
possible server filesystem resources read access in certain application
server environments. For more information about the exploits, see the
corresponding security bulletins S2-003 and S2-004:

applications to Struts 2.0.12.
