In preparation of a 1.2 release of commons-configuration we have created
a first release candidate. Source and binary distributions can be found at
http://people.apache.org/~oheger/commons-configuration-1.2RC1/
The updated web site for this release candidate is available here:
http://people.apache.org/~oheger/commons-configuration-1.2RC1-docs/
The new version of commons-configuration contains a couple of bug fixes,
from which a major part is related to problems with file based
configurations and reloading strategies. There are also some new
features. A full list of changes can be found in the changes report at
http://people.apache.org/~oheger/commons-configuration-1.2RC1-docs/changes-report.html
For testing binary compatibility a clirr report was created. Results can be
found here:
http://people.apache.org/~oheger/commons-configuration-1.2RC1-docs/clirr.xml
Note that clirr reports two errors related to the load(String) method of
XMLConfiguration. I believe that clirr has mixed something up: A new base class
for file based hierarchical configurations was introduced, which implements all
load() methods including the one with a String argument. This is what the other
INFO messages about load() methods in XMLConfiguration are all about. So I
don't know why clirr complains about this special method. It is definitely
there and public.
Feedback is welcome! I will wait some time, and if no issues are reported, I
will call out a vote for the final release.
