The Struts 2.3.29 test build is now available. It includes the latest
security patch which fixes few possible vulnerabilities:
-  Action name clean up is error prone
- Forced double OGNL evaluation, when evaluated on raw user input in
tag attributes, may lead to remote code execution (similar to S2-029)
- Remote Code Execution can be performed when using REST Plugin.
- It is possible to bypass token validation and perform a CSRF attack
- Getter as action method leads to security bypass
- Input validation bypass using existing default action method.
- Possible DoS attack when using URLValidator

For details and the rationale behind these changes, please consult the
corresponding security bulletins:

[WW-4627] - Struts2 JSON Plugin: messages in fieldsErrors are
serialized twice since jdk1.7_80
[WW-4629] - Tile definition Inheritance/overriding is broken in

Once you have had a chance to review the test build, please respond
with a vote on its quality:

[ ] Leave at test build
[ ] Alpha
[ ] Beta
[ ] General Availability (GA)

Everyone who has tested the build is invited to vote. Votes by PMC
members are considered binding. A vote passes if there are at least
three binding +1s and more +1s than -1s.

This is a "fast-track" release vote. If we have a positive vote after
24 hours (at least three binding +1s and more +1s than -1s),  the
release may be submitted for mirroring and announced to the usual
channels.

The website download link will include the mirroring timestamp
parameter [1], which limits the selection of mirrors to those that
have been refreshed since the indicated time and date. (After 24
hours, we *must* remove the timestamp parameter from the website link,
to avoid unnecessary server load.) In the case of a fast-track
release, the email announcement will not link directly to
<download.cgi>, but to <downloads.html>, so that we can control use of
the timestamp parameter.
