| Commons Lang Package |
| Version 2.2 |
| Release Notes |
| |
| |
| INTRODUCTION: |
| |
| This document contains the release notes for the 2.2 version of Apache Jakarta Commons Lang. |
| Commons Lang is a set of utility functions and reusable components that |
| should be of use in any Java environment. |
| |
| INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH VERSION 2.1: |
| |
| - None |
| |
| ADDITIONAL INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES WITH VERSION 2.0: |
| |
| - The Nestable interface defines the method indexOfThrowable(Class). |
| Previously the implementations checked only for a specific Class. |
| Now they check for subclasses of that Class as well. |
| For most situations this will be the expected behaviour (ie. its a bug fix). |
| If it causes problems, please use the ExceptionUtils.indexOfThrowable(Class) method instead. |
| Note that the ExceptionUtils method is available in v1.0 and v2.0 of commons-lang and has not been changed. |
| (An alternative to this is to change the public static matchSubclasses flag on NestableDelegate. |
| However, we don't recommend that as a long-term solution.) |
| |
| - The StopWatch class has had much extra validation added. |
| If your code previously relied on unusual aspects, it may no longer work. |
| |
| - Starting with version 2.1, Ant version 1.6.x is required to build. Copy |
| junit.jar to ANT_HOME/lib. You can get JUnit from http://www.junit.org. See the developer's guide |
| for more details. |
| |
| DEPRECATIONS FROM 2.1 to 2.2: |
| |
| - None |
| |
| DEPRECATIONS FROM 2.0 to 2.1: |
| |
| - The enum package has been renamed to enums for JDK1.5 compilance. |
| All functionality is identical, just the package has changed. |
| This package will be removed in v3.0. |
| |
| - NumberUtils.stringToInt - renamed to toInt |
| |
| - DateUtils - four constants, MILLIS_IN_* have been deprecated as they were defined |
| as int not long. The replacements are MILLIS_PER_*. |
| |
