- <strong>Deprecations</strong> - Many constructs were deprecated for the Struts 1.1 release, most of which have now been removed. Before moving to this release, you should clean-compile your application with deprecation warnings enabled. Alternatives should be available for all decprecated constructs.

- <li>IntRange now checks select-one and radio fields. Example: This allows populating combo boxes with valid choices plus one additional choice with a caption something like "Choose one" and a value 0f "-1". Then when the user attempts to submit the form, you can look for the value of "-1" and yell at them if they failed to pick something.</li>
- <li>You can now force the clientside Javascript validation to check all constraints, instead of stopping at the first error. By setting a new property, <code>stopOnFirstError</code>, on the Validator PlugIn to false. <a href="dev_validator.html#stopOnFirstError">Details ...</a></li>
- <li>The "required" validation can now handle checkboxes, radio,select-one, and select-multiple field types. See the updated Validator example application to see these new features in action.</li>

- <strong>ModuleConfigVerifier</strong> - While not exactly new, a standard class for verifying module configurations is also available in the PlugIn packages.

<a href="http://maven.apache.org">Maven</a>. The core JAR and TLDs can be built using Maven, leveraging the shared Maven repository for our many dependencies. You can find the current maven.xml and project.xml in the root directory of the Struts source distribution. However, at this time, the original Ant build files are still the official mechanism for building Struts.</p>

<code>
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">struts-config_1_2.dtd</a>

These elements are for use by struts config file tools and document generation. In the Struts 1.2.x series, existing Struts configuration files can be loaded using either DTD version.</p>
