| <p> |
| These are the release notes and advice for upgrading Commons-IO from |
| version 2.3 to version 2.4 |
| <source> |
| Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io. |
| Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high |
| reuse as to justify existence in java.io. |
| |
| The Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, |
| file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more. |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| Apache Commons IO Version 2.4-SNAPSHOT |
| ============================================================================== |
| |
| Changes in this version include: |
| |
| New features: |
| o IO-269: Tailer locks file from deletion/rename on Windows. Thanks to sebb. |
| o IO-333: Export OSGi packages at version 1.x in addition to 2.x. Thanks to fmeschbe. |
| o IO-320: Add XmlStreamReader support for UTF-32. Thanks to ggregory. |
| o IO-331: BOMInputStream wrongly detects UTF-32LE_BOM files as UTF-16LE_BOM files in method getBOM(). Thanks to ggregory. |
| o IO-327: Add byteCountToDisplaySize(BigInteger). Thanks to ggregory. |
| o IO-326: Add new FileUtils.sizeOf[Directory] APIs to return BigInteger. Thanks to ggregory. |
| o IO-325: Add IOUtils.toByteArray methods to work with URL and URI. Thanks to raviprak. |

| |

| o IO-335: Tailer#readLines - incorrect CR handling. |
| o IO-334: FileUtils.toURLs throws NPE for null parameter; document the behavior. |
| o IO-332: Improve tailer's reading performance. Thanks to liangly. |
| o IO-279: Improve Tailer performance with buffered reads (see IO-332). |
| o IO-329: FileUtils.writeLines uses unbuffered IO. Thanks to tivv. |
| o IO-319: FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory follows symbolic links. Thanks to raviprak. |
