[seam-dev] Seam 2.2.1.CR2 is out

[Marek Novotny]

Seam 2.2.1.CR2 is available for public.

This second candidate release of version 2.2.1 was aimed to bring 
security fixes and also bug fixes found in previous CR1. This release is 
important, because it fixes a security issue in parametrized JBoss 
Expression Language (EL) expressions - CVE-2010-1871 and Seam team 
thanks Meder Kydyraliev of the Google Security Team for responsibly 
reporting this issue to JBoss.

Next security fix is in upgrade of Spring dependency from 2.5.6.SEC01 to 
2.5.6.SEC02.

Instead of these security issue, we fixed 39 issues including some 
performance ones and also bugs with JBoss AS 6 M3/4 or documentation 
fixes. More in Release notes are at 
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12314471&styleName=Text&projectId=10071

Distribution downloads are available at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jboss/files/JBoss%20Seam/2.2.1.CR2

Documentation for 2.2.1.CR2 is available at 
http://www.seamframework.org/Seam2/Documentation (e.g 
http://docs.jboss.org/seam/2.2.1.CR2/reference/en-US/html/).


What is missing? Uploading Seam maven artifacts, which is now stucked on 
some infrastracture permision issues. I will inform about the 
availability of them ASAP. And blogging about the release - I will wait 
till maven repository contains seam 2.2.1.CR2 artifacts.
