Dear Spring Community

I'm pleased to announce that Acegi Security release 0.8.2 is now available. This release fixes a number of non-critical bugs, resolves an incompatibility with Spring 1.2-RC2 refactorings, updates JAR dependencies to match Spring 1.2-RC2, and refactors AbstractProcessingFilter exception mappings. As per the Apache APR project versioning guidelines, this is a minor release. Users of release 0.8.0 or 0.8.1 should be able to simply drop the new 0.8.2 JARs into their applications, although please be aware:

1. Spring 1.2-RC2 (or above, such as a CVS snapshot) is the minimum requirement for Acegi Security 0.8.2
2. Users of AbstractProcessingFilter (typically AuthenticationProcessingFilter) must modify their exception setters as per http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net...ingFilter.html

Please note that Acegi Security releases prior to 0.8.2 will not operate with Spring 1.2-RC2. You will need to use the latest Acegi Security release (0.8.2) if you wish to operate with Spring 1.2-RC2.

For Maven users, Acegi Security's latest JARs are now available from [/url]http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net/maven/acegisecurity/jars[/url]. Release 0.8.2 will be added to iBiblio shortly.

Please visit http://acegisecurity.sourceforge.net to learn more about Acegi Security's features, browse online documentation, or download the latest release.

We hope you find this new release useful in your projects.

Cheers
Ben
