This HTML comment claims that Issue #126 is addressed, but this PR only updates release metadata (POM version, vars script, and release notes) and does not modify the HTTP validation rules described in Issue #126. To avoid confusion for maintainers and users, either include the actual fix for Issue #126 in this PR or adjust the PR title/description and this comment to reflect that this change is about release/versioning, not the HTTP validation rules.

What sort of crap is this? HTML comments are not even going to show up in the README.md rendered as HTML. Not to mention (again) that the README.md is not a place to mention specific GitHub issues.

Release notes for ESAPI 2.7.1.0-RC1

The release notes header uses 2.7.1.0-RC1, but the Maven POM sets the version to 2.7.0.1-RC1 and the text here refers to a future formal 2.7.0.1 release. Please reconcile this so that the release notes filename, header, and build metadata all consistently use the same version number for this RC.

The dates 2025-30-09 and 2025-25-06 are not valid yyyy-mm-dd calendar dates (the middle field must be a valid month) and they do not match the 2.7.0.0 release notes, which list 2025-06-27 as the previous release date. Please correct these to valid dates and keep them in sync with the related vars.* file and prior release notes.

We don't do release notes for RC releases and don't intend to start now.



Executive Summary: Important Things to Note for this Release
------------------------------------------------------------
This Release Candidate is being used to verify the migration to OSSRH artifact hosting as a part of GitHub issue#891.

This version contains no significant behavioral updates from the 2.7.0.0 release.
Keep an eye out for the formal 2.7.0.1 release planned before the end of 2025

The project version has been updated to 2.7.0.1-RC1 here, but other newly added release artifacts (e.g., scripts/vars.2.7.1.0-RC1 and documentation/esapi4java-core-2.7.1.0-RC1-release-notes.txt) refer to 2.7.1.0-RC1. All version identifiers for this release candidate should be aligned to the same value to prevent publishing inconsistent artifacts.

Again, wrong version.

The VERSION here (2.7.1.0-RC1) is inconsistent with the Maven artifact version (2.7.0.1-RC1 in pom.xml) and the text of the release notes, which talk about a future formal 2.7.0.1 release. These should all agree on a single version string to avoid publishing artifacts under mismatched coordinates and confusing downstream consumers.

Suggested change
VERSION=2.7.1.0-RC1
VERSION=2.7.0.1-RC1

Copilot is correct. It was 2.7.0.1-RC1. See https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.owasp.esapi/esapi for details.

The release date values 2025-30-09 and 2025-25-06 do not represent valid yyyy-mm-dd dates (the middle component must be a valid month in the range 01–12) and also differ from the 2.7.0.0 release notes, which list 2025-06-27 as the previous release date. Please correct these dates (and ensure they match the corresponding release notes file) so that automation and documentation relying on them are accurate.

Again, a mess-up. Human review should have caught that, but you apparently didn't take much, if any, time to review the final output. Copilot beats "GitHub Issue Solver" again.
