| |
| Pool 1.3 is largely a bug fix only release. For a complete set of release |
| notes see: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/pool/release-notes-1.3.html |
| |
| Notable Bugfixes since 1.2: |
| |
| * GenericObjectPools are now a FIFOs. Previously they was documented as such |
| but actually implemented as a LIFOs. |
| |
| * Synchronizations improvements across all implementations. |
| |
| Notable Additions since 1.2: |
| |
| * GenericObjectPool introduced a SoftMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis property |
| which can be used to evict idle objects so long as their eviction |
| would maintain the requested minIdle count. |
| |
| * PoolUtils contains a number of utility methods to decorate pools. |
| |
| * The one dependency on Commons Collections has been removed (okay, |
| technically a deletion) and the only requirement is Java 1.3 or above. |
| |
| Miscellaneous issues: |
| |
| Some of the unit tests may fail spuriously because they are trying to test |
| behavior that depends on the thread scheduler or the garbage collector. If |
| you get a test failure that has "evictor" or "thread" in the test name, |
| please run this test a few times before reporting a bug report for it. If |
| you know how to make one of these unit tests better, please submit a patch. |
