Commons Lang Package
|
|
Version 2.3
|
|
Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
INTRODUCTION:
|
|
|
|
This document contains the release notes for the 2.3 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 2.2:
|
|
|
|
- Calling stop on a suspended StopWatch will no longer change the underlying time.
|
|
It's very unlikely anyone was relying on that bug as a feature.
|
|
|
|
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 2.0 to 2.1:

|
|
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_*.

|
|
* [LANG-102] - Refactor Entities methods
|
|

|
|
* [LANG-279] - HashCodeBuilder throws java.lang.StackOverflowError when an object contains a cycle.
|
|
* [LANG-281] - DurationFormatUtils returns wrong result
|
|

|
|
* [LANG-292] - unescapeXml("&12345678;") should be "&12345678;"
|
|
* [LANG-294] - StrBuilder.replaceAll and StrBuilder.deleteAll can throw ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
|
|
* [LANG-295] - StrBuilder contains usages of thisBuf.length when they should use size

IMPROVEMENTS IN 2.3:
|
|
|
|
* [LANG-258] - Enum JavaDoc
|
|
* [LANG-266] - Wish for StringUtils.join(Collection, *)

|
|
* [LANG-282] - Create more tests to test out the +=31 replacement code in DurationFormatUtils.
|
|

|
|
* [LANG-289] - NumberUtils.max(byte[]) and NumberUtils.min(byte[]) are missing

|
|
* [LANG-306] - StrBuilder appendln/appendAll/appendSeparator
|
|
* [LANG-310] - BooleanUtils isNotTrue/isNotFalse
|
|
* [LANG-314] - Tests fail to pass when building with Maven 2
