Apache Commons IO 
Version 2.8.0
Release Notes

INTRODUCTION:

Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io.  
Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high

==============================================================================
Apache Commons IO Version 2.6
==============================================================================

INTRODUCTION:

Apache Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io.
Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high
reuse as to justify existence in java.io.

The Apache Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations,
file filters, file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more.

Apache Commons IO 2.6 requires at least Java 7 to build and run.


DEPRECATIONS
============

All closeQuietly overloads in org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils have been
deprecated. Use the try-with-resources statement or handle suppressed
exceptions manually.

The class org.apache.commons.io.FileSystemUtils has been deprecated.
Use equivalent methods in java.nio.file.FileStore instead, e.g.
Files.getFileStore(Paths.get("/home")).getUsableSpace() or iterate over
FileSystems.getDefault().getFileStores().


COMPATIBILITY WITH JAVA 9
==================

The MANIFEST.MF now contains an additional entry:

  Automatic-Module-Name: org.apache.commons.io

This should make it possible to use Commons IO 2.6 as a module in the Java 9
module system. For more information see the corresponding issue:

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-551

Building Commons IO 2.6 should work out of the box with the latest Java 9
release. Please report any Java 9 related issues at:

    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO


NEW FEATURES
============

o IO-551: Add Automatic-Module-Name MANIFEST entry for Java 9 compatibility.
o IO-367: Add convenience methods for copyToDirectory. Thanks to James Sawle.
o IO-493: Add infinite circular input stream. Thanks to Piotr Turski.
o IO-507: Add a ByteOrderUtils class.
o IO-518: Add ObservableInputStream.
o IO-519: Add MessageDigestCalculatingInputStream.
o IO-513: Add convenience methods for reading class path resources.
          Thanks to Behrang Saeedzadeh.

o IO-550: Documentation issue, fix 404 Javadoc issues in the description page.
          Thanks to Jimi Adrian.

  Check the bug fixes section for semantic bug fixes

Deprecations from 1.2
---------------------
- WildcardFilter deprecated, replaced by WildcardFileFilter
  - old class only accepted files, thus had a confusing dual purpose

- FileSystemUtils.freeSpace deprecated, replaced by freeSpaceKb
  - freeSpace returns a result that varies by operating system and
    thus isn't that useful
  - freeSpaceKb returns much better and more consistent results
  - freeSpaceKb existed in v1.2, so this is a gentle cutover

Bug fixes from 1.2
------------------
- LineIterator now implements Iterator
  - It was always supposed to...

- FileSystemUtils.freeSpace/freeSpaceKb [IO-83]
  - These should now work on AIX and HP-UX

- FileUtils.touch [IO-100]
  - The touch method previously gave no indication when the file could not
    be touched successfully (such as due to access restrictions) - it now
    throws an IOException if the last modified date cannot be changed

- FileCleaner
  - This now handles the situation where an error occurs when deleting the file

- IOUtils.copy [IO-84]
  - Copy methods could return inaccurate byte/char count for large streams
  - The copy(InputStream, OutputStream) method now returns -1 if the count is greater than an int
  - The copy(Reader, Writer) method now throws now returns -1 if the count is greater than an int
  - Added a new copyLarge(InputStream, OutputStream) method that returns a long
  - Added a new copyLarge(Reader, Writer) method that returns a long

- CountingInputStream/CountingOutputStream [IO-84]
  - Methods were declared as int thus the count was innacurate for large streams
  - new long based methods getByteCount()/resetByteCount() added
  - existing methods changed to throw an exception if the count is greater than an int

- FileBasedTestCase
  - Fixed bug in compare content methods identified by GNU classpath

- EndianUtils.writeSwappedLong(byte[], int) [IO-101]
  - An int overrun in the bit shifting when it should have been a long

  - New class designed for subclassing to walk through a set of files.
    DirectoryWalker provides the walk of the directories, filtering of
    directories and files, and cancellation support. The subclass must provide
    the specific behavior, such as text searching or image processing.

  - New class/enumeration for case-sensitivity control

- FilenameUtils
  - New methods to handle case-sensitivity
  - wildcardMatch - new method that has IOCase as a parameter

  - writeLines(File, Collection, String)

- FileUtils.openOutputStream  [IO-107]
  - new method to open a FileOutputStream, creating parent directories if required
- FileUtils.touch
- FileUtils.copyURLToFile
- FileUtils.writeStringToFile
- FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile
- FileUtils.writeLines
  - enhanced to create parent directories if required
- FileUtils.openInputStream  [IO-107]
  - new method to open a FileInputStream, providing better error messages than the JDK

- FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory  [IO-104]
  - new variant that optionally retains the file date

  - FileDeleteStrategy is a strategy for handling file deletion
  - This can be used as a calback in FileCleaner
  - Together these allow FileCleaner to do a forceDelete to kill directories

- FileCleaner.exitWhenFinished [IO-99]
  - A new method that allows the internal cleaner thread to be cleanly terminated

- WildcardFileFilter
  - Replacement for WildcardFilter
  - Accepts both files and directories
  - Ability to control case-sensitivity

- NameFileFilter
  - Ability to control case-sensitivity

- FileFileFilter
  - New IOFileFilter implementation

    (whereas if everything uses INSTANCE, then they just clash)
  - The old INSTANCE constants are still present and have not been deprecated

- FileFilterUtils.sizeRangeFileFilter
  - new sizeRangeFileFilter(long minimumSize, long maximumSize) method which 
    creates a filter that accepts files within the specified size range.

- FileFilterUtils.makeDirectoryOnly/makeFileOnly

    directories only or files only

- NullWriter
  - New writer that acts as a sink for all data, as per /dev/null

- NullInputStream
  - New input stream that emulates a stream of a specified size

Incompatible changes from 1.0
-----------------------------
Binary compatible - Yes

Source compatible - Yes

Semantic compatible - Yes, except:
- FileUtils.writeStringToFile()
    A null encoding previously used 'ISO-8859-1', now it uses the platform default
    Generally this will make no difference

- LockableFileWriter
    Improved validation and now create directories if necesssary

plus these bug fixes may affect you semantically:
- FileUtils.touch()  (Bug fix 29821)
    Now creates the file if it did not previously exist

- FileUtils.toFile(URL) (Bug fix 32575)
    Now handles escape syntax such as %20

- FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory()  (Bug fix 36801)
    May now return a size of 0 if the directory is security restricted

Deprecations from 1.0
---------------------
- CopyUtils has been deprecated.
    Its methods have been moved to IOUtils.
    The new IOUtils methods handle nulls better, and have clearer names.

- IOUtils.toByteArray(String) - Use {@link String#getBytes()}
- IOUtils.toString(byte[]) - Use {@link String#String(byte[])}
- IOUtils.toString(byte[],String) - Use {@link String#String(byte[],String)}
