Internal changes
This version embeds the Apache Tiles by directly coping the source code of the library. The Apache Tiles project has retired and right now it's in the attic - no development is happening around this project. Struts committers decided to copy all the required source code to continue undisturbed support for the the Struts 2 Tiles plugin.
