[jira] [Created] (IO-314) Deprecate and then remove all methods that use the default encoding
Deprecate and then remove all methods that use the default encoding --- Key: IO-314 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-314 Project: Commons IO Issue Type: Improvement Components: Streams/Writers Affects Versions: 2.1 Reporter: Aaron Digulla Priority: Minor On Stackoverflow.com, I often see this kind of question: When I read my text on a different computer, it's all garbled. The underlying issue is that people don't understand the concept of encoding and therefore, they use the default encoding which breaks their code when they least expect it. Worse, it often causes data corruption without throwing exceptions. Therefore my suggestion: Deprecate and then remove all methods that use the default encoding. Users should always specify an encoding when doing text I/O, to make sure that data cannot be corrupted even when they don't know what they're doing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[jira] [Created] (IO-315) Replace all String encoding parameters with a value type
Replace all String encoding parameters with a value type

Key: IO-315
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-315
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Streams/Writers
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Aaron Digulla
Please create an interface Encoding plus a set of useful defaults (UTF_8,
ISO_LATIN_1, CP_1250 and CP_1252).
Use this interface in all places where String encoding is used now. This
would make the API more reliable, improve code reuse and reduce futile catch
blocks for {{UnsupportedEncodingException}}.

[jira] [Created] (IO-316) New API: BackupFileWriter
New API: BackupFileWriter
-
Key: IO-316
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-316
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Streams/Writers
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Aaron Digulla
Priority: Minor
Add the new file based I/O class {{BackupFileWriter}} with the following
properties:
- Saves the file to a temporary name
- Creates backup of existing file on {{close()}}
- Renames temp file to desired name on {{close()}}
The backup strategy (number of backups, backup file name) should be pluggable.
There should also be a hook to compare the temporary and the existing file and
do the rename only when they are different. The default hook should always
replace the file.
It should also be possible to override the temporary file name (including the
path, so the temp file can be in the same directory or a different one or even
on a different disk).

[jira] [Created] (LANG-795) Replace all String encoding parameters with Charset
Replace all String encoding parameters with Charset
-
Key: LANG-795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-795
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: lang.*
Affects Versions: 3.1
Reporter: Aaron Digulla
In several places, String constants are used to specify an encoding for data.
Please add methods that accept {{Charset}} instead, and deprecate the existing
methods.
The goal of this change is to reduce code smell (using String constants instead
of a real value type).
