| Apache Commons IO |
| Version 2.4 |
| 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 Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, |
| file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more. |
| |

| |
| Semantic compatible - Yes |
| Check the bug fixes section for semantic bug fixes |
| |
| Deprecations from 1.2 |
| --------------------- |
| - WildcardFilter deprecated, replaced by WildcardFileFilter |
| - old class only accepted files, thus had a confusing dual purpose |
| |
| - FileSystemUtils.freeSpace deprecated, replaced by freeSpaceKb |
| - freeSpace returns a result that varies by operating system and |
| thus isn't that useful |
| - freeSpaceKb returns much better and more consistent results |
| - freeSpaceKb existed in v1.2, so this is a gentle cutover |
| |
| Bug fixes from 1.2 |
| ------------------ |
| - LineIterator now implements Iterator |
| - It was always supposed to... |
| |
| - FileSystemUtils.freeSpace/freeSpaceKb [IO-83] |
| - These should now work on AIX and HP-UX |
| |
| - FileSystemUtils.freeSpace/freeSpaceKb [IO-90] |
| - Avoid infinite looping in Windows |
| - Catch more errors with nice messages |
| |
| - FileSystemUtils.freeSpace [IO-91] |
| - This is now documented not to work on SunOS 5 |
| |
| - FileSystemUtils [IO-93] |
| - Fixed resource leak leading to 'Too many open files' error |
| - Previously did not destroy Process instances (as JDK Javadoc is so poor) |
| - http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4801027 |
| |
| - FileUtils.touch [IO-100] |
| - The touch method previously gave no indication when the file could not |
| be touched successfully (such as due to access restrictions) - it now |
| throws an IOException if the last modified date cannot be changed |
| |
| - FileCleaner |
| - This now handles the situation where an error occurs when deleting the file |
| |
| - IOUtils.copy [IO-84] |
| - Copy methods could return inaccurate byte/char count for large streams |
| - The copy(InputStream, OutputStream) method now returns -1 if the count is greater than an int |
| - The copy(Reader, Writer) method now throws now returns -1 if the count is greater than an int |
| - Added a new copyLarge(InputStream, OutputStream) method that returns a long |
| - Added a new copyLarge(Reader, Writer) method that returns a long |
| |
| - CountingInputStream/CountingOutputStream [IO-84] |
| - Methods were declared as int thus the count was innacurate for large streams |
| - new long based methods getByteCount()/resetByteCount() added |
| - existing methods changed to throw an exception if the count is greater than an int |
| |
| - FileBasedTestCase |
| - Fixed bug in compare content methods identified by GNU classpath |
| |
| - EndianUtils.writeSwappedLong(byte[], int) [IO-101] |
| - An int overrun in the bit shifting when it should have been a long |
| |
| - EndianUtils.writeSwappedLong(InputStream) [IO-102] |
| - The return of input.read(byte[]) was not being checked to ensure all 8 bytes were read |
| |
| Enhancements from 1.2 |
| --------------------- |
| - DirectoryWalker [IO-86] |
| - New class designed for subclassing to walk through a set of files. |
| DirectoryWalker provides the walk of the directories, filtering of |
| directories and files, and cancellation support. The subclass must provide |
| the specific behaviour, such as text searching or image processing. |
| |
| - IOCase |
| - New class/enumeration for case-sensitivity control |
| |
| - FilenameUtils |
| - New methods to handle case-sensitivity |
| - wildcardMatch - new method that has IOCase as a parameter |
| - equals - new method that has IOCase as a parameter |
| |
| - FileUtils [IO-108] - new default encoding methods for: |
| - readFileToString(File) |
| - readLines(File) |
| - lineIterator(File) |
| - writeStringToFile(File, String) |
| - writeLines(File, Collection) |

| |
| Incompatible changes from 1.0 |
| ----------------------------- |
| Binary compatible - Yes |
| |
| Source compatible - Yes |
| |
| Semantic compatible - Yes, except: |

| Generally this will make no difference |
| |
| - LockableFileWriter |

| The new IOUtils methods handle nulls better, and have clearer names. |
| |
| - IOUtils.toByteArray(String) - Use {@link String#getBytes()} |
| - IOUtils.toString(byte[]) - Use {@link String#String(byte[])} |
| - IOUtils.toString(byte[],String) - Use {@link String#String(byte[],String)} |
