Note that the attached file "esapi-2.5.2.0-configuration.jar" contains the default ESAPI configuration files intended for used in production. Download the file and unjar it via 'jar xf'. After you unjar that configuration jar, look under the 'configuration/' directory. Most of the files you are interested in are located under 'configuration/esapi', such as ESAPI.properties, validation.properties, etc. The attached file "esapi-2.5.2.0-configuration.jar.asc" is a detached GPG signature of that the file "esapi-2.5.2.0-configuration.jar" that was signed by ESAPI project co-lead, Kevin W. Wall.

The release notes contain a more complete list of what has changed / fixed in ESAPI 2.5.2.0.
2.5.1.0
Update summary
Updates to latest versions of direct dependencies, including:
An update to AntiSamy: 1.7.0 --> 1.7.2
An update to SLFJ4 API: 1.7.36 --> 2.0.4 (Note: 2.0.5 is available and likely would would result in "convergence" issues with the version AntiSamy 1.7.2 pulls in)
A new codec (org.owasp.esapi.codecs.JSONCodec) is provided that provides JSON output encoding as per section 7 of RFC 8259. It is made available via Encoder.encodeForJSON(). (Note unlike other encoders, there is no corresponding decoder (i.e., decodeForJSON()) made available. Since that would normally be done by your JavaScript code, it wasn't deemed essential.
Executing 'mvn site' now creates Javadoc for the ESAPI tag library (GitHub issue #733).
Note the file "esapi-2.5.1.0-configuration.jar" contains the default ESAPI configuration files under 'configuration/' (ESAPI.properties, validation.properties, etc.) and the file "esapi-2.5.1.0-configuration.jar.asc" is a GPG signature of that jar file made by 'Kevin W. Wall (GitHub signing key) kevin.w.wall@gmail.com'.
This release drops all support for ESAPI Logging using Log4J 1 (except through SLF4J). If your ESAPI.Logger property is set to use Log4J and you do not change it, you will get obscure Exceptions or Errors thrown. (Generally an ExceptionInInitializerError.)
Because we've upgraded to AntiSamy 1.7.0, there are also some potentially breaking changes in this release if you have customized your antisamy-esapi.xml file.
As begun in the previous release, this release only supports Java 8 or later.
If you do nothing else at least read this short "Changes Requiring Special Attention" section of the 2.5.0.0 release notes. You have been warned!
Finally, note that the file "esapi-2.5.0.0-configuration.jar" (see below) contains the default ESAPI configuration files under 'configuration/' (ESAPI.properties, validation.properties, etc.) and the file "esapi-2.5.0.0-configuration.jar.asc" is a GPG signature of that jar file made by 'Kevin W. Wall (GitHub signing key) kevin.w.wall@gmail.com'.
This release is NOT compatible with Java 7. Java 8 or later is required to use this version of ESAPI. The ESAPi 2.3.0.0 release was the last release to support Java 7.
This release of ESAPI fixes an older DoS vulnerability (CVE-2022-28366) that we were unable to patch while supporting Java 7 as the minimal JDK, as well as a newer DoS vulnerability (CVE-2022-29546) that previously did not have a CVE ID during our 2.3.0.0 release. ESAPI users might have seen either of these DoS vulnerabilities manifested via Validator.isValidSafeHTML() and Validator.getValidSafeHTML() in previous releases.
