+#### 17 November 2024 - Apache Struts version 6.7.0 General Availability {#a20241117}
+
+The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Apache Struts version 6.6.7 is available as a "General Availability"
+release. The GA designation is our highest quality grade.
+
+The Apache Struts is an elegant, extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java web applications.
+The framework has been designed to streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying,
+to maintaining applications over time.
+
+A lot of classes have been marked as deprecated because of relocation of them into a new package. All classes from 
+package `com.opensymphony.xwork2`  will be moved into `org.apache.struts2` in Struts 7 and this deprecation can help you 
+adapt to incoming changes. Please be aware that we are dropping support for DWR and Sitemesh plugins. 
+In the case of DWR there is no more active development nor support for JakartaEE. 
+Sitemesh can be integrated directly with the framework, please check [sitemesh3](https://github.com/apache/struts-examples/tree/master/sitemesh3) example.
+
+> Please read the [Version Notes]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Version+Notes+6.7.0) to find more details about performed
+> bug fixes and improvements.
+
+**All developers are strongly advised to perform this upgrade.**
+
+The 6.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum requirement of the following specification versions:
+Servlet API 3.1, JSP API 2.1, and Java 8.
+
+Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the Struts framework, please post your comments to the user list,
+and, if appropriate, file [a tracking ticket]({{ site.jira_url }}).
+
+You can download this version from our [download](download.cgi#struts-ga) page.
