WebWork - WebWork - WebWork 2.2.5

WebWork 2.2.5 Release Notes

Key Changes

Probably the most important bug fix is related to the XML parsing of xwork configuration files, where some XML parsers treated whitespace different than others, resulting in elements being read incorrectly. Apart from that, we fixed various component (mostly Ajax) related bugs, improved Freemarker support, upgraded to Dojo 0.4 and generally fine-tuned the framework.

See below for the complete list of changes.

Migration Notes

This 2.2.5 release, 6 months after WebWork 2.2.4, marks the final chapter for the WebWork framework. Struts 2, its successor, had its first GA release, and in a final push, the WebWork team wanted to do a big effort to bring in as many optimizations and bug fixes as possible before shifting developer focus.

This release is fully backwards compatible with WebWork 2.2.4. You can just replace the existing WebWork and XWork jars with the news ones from 2.2.5.

Like always, we would like to thank both regular users and contributors, for helping out, submitting patches, testing, and providing general feedback. The development of WebWork 2 and XWork 1 slowly grinds to a halt, so if you're looking for bleeding edge technologies or new features, you are more than welcome to try Struts 2.
