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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEPRECTAIONS:
|
|
|
|
- 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:

|
|
and provide both get and set methods.
