James,
Not for 3.8.2 which was focused on bug fixes and optimizations. The changes to the new Struts 1.2.x series does require some code updates on our ends to make sure we handle some of the new features correctly but you are of course free to update the libraries yourself so when you “Add Struts capabilities” it uses the new JARs; but if you are going to use some of the new features in Struts 1.2, YMMV with the tools until we officially support it.
