THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
- When a serious security issue arises, we should try to create a
#.#.#.Xbranch from the last GA release, and apply to that branch only
the security patch. - If the patch first applies to some other dependency, implore the other group to do the same, to avoid side-effects from other changes.
- If the release manager would like to "fast track" a vote, so as to make a security fix available quickly, the preferred procedure is to
Wiki Markup [VOTE\]Struts2.0.9.1quality(fasttrack)}}- In the vote message, specify voting terms like:

The Struts #.#.#.# test build is now available.

It includes the latest security patches which fix two possible vulnerabilities:

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

Please note that currently these bulletins and the release notes are
only visible to logged-in users with the struts-committer role. This is
a needed requirement to control disclosure until the actual release is
announced.

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

[ ] 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.
