(Repeating myself from the previous occasion) Our t's are dotted and our i's are crossed, so we'd like to make a release of Commons Lang 2.0.
[ ] +1 I support Commons Lang 2.0 [ ] +0 Huh? Sure, let me sleep. [ ] -0 Lang? Sounds bad. [ ] -1 I hate you guys. [http://www.apache.org/~bayard/lang2.0/ contains a preliminary build of 2.0 and the javadoc and javadiff] What's not going: ---------------- lang.functor has been removed from Lang. Collections will gain what it needs and [Functor] will be looked to for the complete functor-style solution. lang.reflect is not ready yet. What's new: ---------- lang.math.* package, which contains Range classes, RandomUtils and a Fraction class. lang.util.* package, which contains an IdentifierUtils, for easing IDs, a Validate class [akin to JUnit Assert in style] and BitField from the old Commons Util project [as created by POI]. lang.time.* package, which contains a DateUtils, an optimised DateFormat, a StopWatch class for measuring time periods, a DateFormatUtils and a DurationFormatUtils [for describing time periods]. In the top level package, we see a series of additions. There are a set of reusable Exceptions which provide slightly tighter meaning than their Commons Lang superclasses, IllegalClassException and NotImplementedException are examples of these. We also see the addition of more Utils classes: ArrayUtils BooleanUtils ClassUtils StringEscapeUtils StringPrintWriter WordWrapUtils What's changed: -------------- ToStringBuilder has gained an inner class. builder.* packages have gained new methods NumberUtils has a series of constants, LONG_ZERO, LONG_ONE etc. It is also deprecated for a move into the math subpackage. StringUtils has a series of new methods. A couple have been deprecated. The order in which a nested exception is printed has been reversed and a static legacy option left to reverse it the other way if desired. This now matches JDK 1.4 direction. What's gone: ----------- lang.NumberRange is gone as it has now moved into the math subpackage. The release: ----------- Following a successful vote, the PMC will be notified of the desire to release and the instructions at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/ followed to create a release. A changelog with 'jardiff' will be included.
