[jira] Commented: (LANG-291) Null-safe comparison methods for finding most recent / least recent dates.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-291?page=comments#action_12449906 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-291: Quite likely - the 2.3 Enum issues haven't played out as I thought they would - very little change to Lang; so I'm just chugging along and adding things that won't break backwards compat. I figured I shouldn't be releasing 2.3 too soon, so BeanUtils, DbUtils and Discovery have been jumping ahead in my queue. I'll go ahead and look at applying this if no one else does soon.
