              Apache Commons Net 2.2 RELEASE NOTES

This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements.

Users of version 2.0 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.2, as this release includes some important bug fixes.

See the detailed list of changes below for full description of all bug fixes and enhancements.

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o NET-338:  ftp.FTPClient.initiateListParsing(String parserKey, String pathname) 
            can call createFileEntryParser with null systemName. 
            Fix this by adding getSystemType() which does not return null, and deprecating getSystemName(). 
o NET-244:  Add support for FTPFileFilter filters. New classes FTPFileFilter, FTPFileFilters, new methods:
            FTPListParseEngine#getFiles(FTPFileFilter filter)
            FTPClient.listFiles(String pathname, FTPFileFilter filter) 
o NET-74:  Testcase to show WindowSizeOptionHandler is working OK 
o NET-263:  SubnetUtils / SubNetInfo toString() implementations 
o Javadoc fixes, improvements, and refactoring. 

Fixed Bugs:
o NET-334:  FromNetASCIIInputStream can throw a NullPointerException

o NET-313:  Optionally enable EPSV with IPv4; Only send EPRT with IPv6.
            Fix incorrect port used with EPRT. Allow activeMaxPort == activeMinPort in getActivePort() method.
