+Apache Commons IO 2.16.1 Release Notes
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io.
+Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high
+reuse as to justify existence in java.io.
+
+The Apache Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters,
+file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more.
+
+Java 8 is required.
+
+
+Fixed Bugs
+----------
+
+o Reimplement FileSystemUtils using NIO. Thanks to Gary Gregory.
+o IO-851: FileSystemUtils no longer throws IllegalStateException. Thanks to Sebb, Gary Gregory.
+o Avoid possible NullPointerException in FileUtils.listAccumulate(File, IOFileFilter, IOFileFilter, FileVisitOption...). Thanks to Gary Gregory.
+o IO-853: BoundedInputStream.reset() not updating count. Thanks to Mike Drob, Gary Gregory.
