We have fixed quite a few bugs and added some significant enhancements since commons-io was released, so I would like to release commons-io 2.5
commons-io 2.5 RC2 is available for review here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/io/ (svn revision 11732) Maven artifacts are here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1136 Details of changes since 2.4 are in the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/io/RELEASE-NOTES.txt http://people.apache.org/~krosenvold/commons-io -2.5-RC2/changes-report.html <http://people.apache.org/~krosenvold/commons-io-2.5-RC1/changes-report.html> I have tested this with JDK 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8, IBM JDK 1.6, IBM JDK 1.7 Users testing on Windows may want to take note of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-490, which is an old issue causing intermittent failures on Windows that is unchanged as of this release.
