[ANN] ASF Jakarta Taglibs String Taglib 1.0.1 released


I'm happy to announce the release of 1.0.1 of the String taglib. It's a
bugfix version, with one major bug fixed (that applied to each tag), and
various tag specific bugs also fixed.
[see: http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/string-1.0.1/changes.html]

The major bug in question was the breaking of tags when containers cached
Tag objects, as happens in JSTL's foreach tags.

While there is no support for JSTL's EL language in this release, there is
in the CVS HEAD.

The String Taglib is available from Apache at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/string-doc/intro.html
