[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-84?page=comments#action_12421884 ] Evgenii Philippov commented on IO-84: -------------------------------------
One possible solution would be to add methods like "long copyLongStream()" and mark "int copy()" as deprecated. Does not sound attractive though, but the only other solution is to break compatibility. > Many classes are limited to length of stream < 2 GB, and behave incorrectly > on larger streams > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-84 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-84 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2 > Environment: All > Reporter: Evgenii Philippov > Fix For: 1.3 > > > java int.MAX_VALUE is 2 GB.
