| These are the release notes and advice for upgrading Commons-IO from |
| version 2.0.1 to version 2.1 |

| Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes for java.io's hierarchy. |
| Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high |
| reuse as to justify existence in java.io. |

| Commons IO contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, |
| file comparators and endian transformation classes. |
