Commons Lang Package
Version 2.1
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION:
This document contains the release notes for the 2.1 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:
- 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:
- 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_*.
NEW FEATURES:
New:
- Mutable package - contains basic classes that hold an Object or primitive
and provide both get and set methods.
- DurationFormatUtils - provides various methods for formatting durations
- CharEncoding - definitions of constants for character encoding work
- CharUtils - utilities for working with characters
Updated:
- ArrayUtils - many more methods, especially List-like methods
- BooleanUtils - isTrue and isFalse methods that handle null
- ClassUtils - primitive to wrapper class conversion methods
- ClassUtils - class name comparator
- IllegalClassException - extra constructor for common instanceof case
- NotImplementedException - supports nested exceptions
- ObjectUtils - hashcode method handling null
- StringUtils - isAsciiPrintable to check the contents of a string
-- ordinalIndexOf to find the nth index of a string
-- various remove methods to remove parts of a string
-- various split methods to provide more control over splitting a string
-- defaultIfEmpty to default a string if null or empty
- SystemUtils - methods to get system properties as File objects
-- extra constants representing system properties
- Validate - new methods to check whether all elements in a collection are of a specific type
- WordUtils - new methods to capitalize based on a set of specified delimiters
- EqualsBuilder - now provides setter to internal state
- ToStringStyle - new style, short prefix style
- ReflectionToStringBuilder - more flags to control the output with regards to statics
- ExceptionUtils - added indexOfType methods that check subclasses, thus leaving the existing
indexOfThrowable method untouched (see incompatible changes section)
- NumberUtils - various string to number parsing methods added
- DateUtils - methods added to compare dates in various ways
-- method to parse a date string using multiple patterns
- FastDateFormat - extra formatting methods that take in a millisecond long value
-- additional static factory methods
- StopWatch - new methods for split behaviour
BUG FIXES:

32198 Error in JavaDoc for StringUtils.chomp(String, String)
32625 Can't subclass EqualsBuilder because isEquals is private
33067 EqualsBuilder.append(Object[], Object[]) crashes with a NullPointerException if an element of the first array is null
33069 EqualsBuilder.append(Object[], Object[]) incorrectly checks that rhs[i] is instance of lhs[i]'s class
33574 unbalanced ReflectionToStringBuilder
33737 ExceptionUtils.addCauseMethodName(String) does not check for duplicates.
