| This file is also used by the maven-changes-plugin to generate the release notes. |
| Useful ways of finding items to add to this file are: |
| |
| 1. Add items when you fix a bug or add a feature (this makes the |
| release process easy :-). |
| |
| 2. Do a JIRA search for tickets closed since the previous release. |
| |
| 3. Use the report generated by the maven-changelog-plugin to see all |
| SVN commits. TBA how to use this with SVN. |
| |
| To generate the release notes from this file: |
| |
| mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelease-notes [-Dchanges.version=nnn] |
| |
| then tweak the formatting if necessary |
| and commit |
| |
| The <action> type attribute can be add,update,fix,remove. |

| <!-- NOTE: |
| The description below is specially formatted so as to improve the layout of the generated release notes: |
| The parsing process removes all line feeds, replacing them with a single space. |
| The Velocity template in resources/templates has been enhanced to replace pairs of adjacent spaces |
| with a new-line in the release notes. (These spaces are ignored when displaying HTML). |
| If the output is not quite correct, check for invisible trailing spaces! |
| |
| N.B. The release notes template groups actions by type, and only extracts data for the current release. |
| The changes report outputs actions in the order they appear in this file. |
| |
| To regenerate the release notes: |
| mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelease-notes [-Dchanges.version=nnn] |
| |
| Defining changes.version allows one to create the RN without first removing the SNAPSHOT suffix. |

| </release> |
| |
| <release version="6.0" date="2016-07-10" description="Apache Commons BCEL 6.0 is a major release supporting the new features |
| introduced in Java 6, 7 and 8. |
| |
| |
| It requires Java 7 or higher to run. |
| |
| |
| COMPATIBILITY with 5.2 |
| ====================== |
| |
| |
| Binary compatible - not strictly compatible |
| - The constant interface org.apache.bcel.Constants has been deprecated. Classes |
| which implemented this interface in 5.2 now use the constants defined in the |
| org.apache.bcel.Const class. |
| - The constant interface org.apache.bcel.generic.InstructionConstants has been |
| deprecated. Classes which implemented this interface in 5.2 now use the |
| constants defined in the org.apache.bcel.generic.InstructionConsts class. |
| - Return type of method 'public java.lang.Object getElementAt(int)' in |
| org.apache.bcel.verifier.VerifierFactoryListModel has been changed to |
| java.lang.String. |
| - The BCEL classes do no longer implement java.io.Serializable. |
| |
| |
| |
| Source compatible - Yes, sort of; |
| - The org.apache.bcel.classfile.Visitor interface has been enhanced with |
| additional methods. If you implemented it directly instead of extending |
| the EmptyVisitor class you'll have to implement the new methods. |
| - The org.apache.bcel.generic.Visitor interface has been enhanced with an |
| additional method. If you implemented it directly instead of extending |
| the EmptyVisitor class you'll have to implement the new methods. |
| |
| |
| Semantic compatible - Yes, except: |
| - BCEL 6.0 handles new attributes such as code annotations that could only |
| be processed by implementing a custom AttributeReader in the previous |
| versions. Code relying on this behavior will have to be adjusted since |
| the AttributeReader will no longer be called in these cases. |
