Spec issue 878 [1], closed on 27 August, was meant to be on the JSF 2.1 changelog [2] but was missed due to a clerical error. Roger and I are sorry about that. This was brought to my attention by an Oracle internal JSF spec reviewer who wanted to ensure that the clarifications we added regarding the valid times for calling FacesContext.setViewRoot() were sufficiently documented. If you need more information, please let us know.
