+
+            <p>
+                The Struts team is pleased to announce the release of Struts Shale 1.0.2 Alpha.
+            </p>
+
+            <ul>
+                <li>
+                    <a href="http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html">
+                        http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html</a>
+                </li>
+            </ul>
+            <p>
+                The Struts Shale Framework is a set of loosely coupled services,
+                fundamentally based on JavaServer Faces, which may be combined as
+                needed to meet particular application requirements.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                Compared to version 1.0.0 (version 1.0.1 was retired due to packaging
+                issues), this version includes a substantial number of bugfixes and
+                enhancements -- details are in the Release Notes -- and the following
+                major new features:
+            </p>
+
+            <ul>
+                <li>
+                    Shale Remoting is a complete overhaul of the remoting support in
+                    1.0.0, providing support for application or component developers who
+                    need to implement the server side behavior for AJAX callbacks. It is
+                    packaged as a small (40k) JAR that has no dependencies on the rest of
+                    Shale.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    Tiger Extensions is an optional add-on layer for those running on
+                    Java SE 5 (code named "Tiger"). The extensions let you use Java
+                    annotations to declare managed beans or register JSF components,
+                    without needing entries in a faces-config.xml file.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    A new "blank" starter application to get you up and running with a
+                    new project quickly.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    A new "mailreader" demo application that duplicates the
+                    functionality of the Struts 1.x version of this app, so you can
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    A new "SQL Browser" demo application that illustrates use of the
+                    Tiger Extensions, as well as the ability to modify JSF component trees
+                    on the fly.
+                </li>
+            </ul>
+            <p>
+                Although this is considered an alpha release, various developer APIs
+                should be considered at a more stable (in terms of assurances of
+                backwards compatibility in future releases) point than might otherwise
+                be expected. Please see the following web page for more details:
+            </p>

+                    If someone makes an off-topic post that offends you,
+                    our best advice is to filter posts from that person to the trash.
+                    When subscribers do choose to respond, sometimes a thread
+                    will feed on itself, and grow out of control.
+                    When that happens, our best advice is to filter the entire thread to the trash.

+                    but troll spam is a hard for software to spot.
+                    The best defense is to withhold from the troll what he or she wants most: A response.
