RELEASE NOTES ROUGH DRAFT: -------------------------- NEW COLLECTIONS: ---------------- CHANGED COLLECTIONS: -------------------- LRUMap ------ LRUMap has been reimplemented as a subclass of SynchronizedHashMap. The new implementation of LRUMap should be faster, and it also offers true LRU capabilities; now any get(Object) or put(Object,Object) from this collection promotes the key to the Most Recently Used position. LRUMap 2.0 compatibility changes: - LRUMap can no longer be cast to a HashMap. - The removeLRU() method now has a different signature, and is no longer public. Instead, use remove(getFirstKey()). - "Externalized" LRUMap 1.0 Objects cannot be read by LRUMap 2.0. New features: - True LRU algorithm. - New methods from SequencedHashMap superclass. - processRemovedLRU(Object key, Object value) method allows subclasses to perform custom actions on keys and values that are expunged from the Map. Bugs fixed: - calling setMaximumSize(int) will remove excess LRUs when the current size of the Map exceeds the new maximum size
