Release notes for ESAPI 2.1.0.1
    Release date: 2016-Feb-05
        -Kevin W. Wall <kevin.w.wall@gmail.com>
        -Chris Schmidt <chris.schmidt@owasp.org>

Previous release: ESAPI 2.1.0, Sept 2013


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                GitHub Issues fixed in this release:
                          36 issues closed

32 - URLs in doc for HTTPUtilities.setNoCacheHeaders are wrong
58 - Separate Crypto Related Properties into Separate File
     Fixed as part of issue #350. Can be addressed by placing sensitive
     ESAPI crypto properties into a separate properties file controlled by
     the operations team and not checked into your SCM. For further details,
     see documentation/ESAPI-configuration-user-guide.md and use system property
     org.owasp.esapi.opsteam.
96 - Need validation configuration enhancements
103 - Make ESAPI configuration XML
200 - DefaultHttpUtilities.sendRedirect should throw AccessControlException, not IOException
205 - BaseValidationRule.assertValid(String context, String input) causes NPE if input is not valid.
221 - IntrusionException should extend EnterpriseRuntimeException
229 - printStackTrace when loading configuration file
237 - how can we use esapi in java for validation,please see files attached containing java code and for errors
254 - Patch for /trunk/src/main/java/org/owasp/esapi/reference/crypto/JavaEncryptor.java
261 - Could not set multiple cookies one by one at single request
275 - Log4JLogger.java doesn't output correct file & line number because FQCN isn't forwarded to Log4J
276 - Patch for /branches/2.1/src/main/java/org/owasp/esapi/reference/DefaultExecutor.java
287 - Patch for /branches/2.1/src/main/java/org/owasp/esapi/reference/FileBasedAuthenticator.java
288 - Patch for /trunk/src/test/java/org/owasp/esapi/reference/UserTest.java
289 - ClickjackFilter after doFilter
306 - Canonicalizing "&#37;Device&#37; changes the meaning of the input string
313 - Insecure default configuation for Executor.ApprovedExecutables in ESAPI.properties file
315 - ValidatorTest.testIsValidDate fails if default locale is not US
318 - Incorrect Equality test on floating point values
319 - Resource leak: FileInputStream is not closed on method exit
321 - Unsynchronized get method, synchronized set method
322 - RequestRateThrottleFilter may not work as expected with hits=1 or hits=2
323 - PolicyFactory Sanitize method weird output
328 - StringUtils.union broken which has minor impact on CSRF Protection and random file name generation
330 - setHeader blocks legitimate headers due to header name size limit being too low
331 - Log4j configuration with no root level causes NPE in Log4jLogger.java
334 - Regex in ESAPI.properties is not considering few of the french characters
336 - Log4JLogger.java doesn't output correct file & line number-Similar issue as reported in Issue 268
344 - JUnit test failure in ValidatorTest.testGetValidSafeHTML()
345 - JUnit test failure in ValidatorTest.testIsValidDate()
347 - Fixes #345 - JUnit test failure in ValidatorTest.testIsValidDate()
349 - Package correctly the esapi.tld into ESAPI jar
350 - [ESAPI Spring Code Sprint – May / June 2015] Implementation of requirements
351 - getHeader length limit error
354 - Add stern javadoc warning about Base64.decodeToObject() being unsafe and mark method as deprecated.
      Note: This method no longer functions unless the system property org.owasp.esapi.enableUnsafeSerialization
      is set to "true". This breaks backward compatibility in favor of taking a more secure posture.
355 - Temp files created by org.owasp.esapi.waf.internal.InterceptingServletOutputStream not removed by WAF JUnit tests
356 - Make end-of-line terminators consistent for .java, .xml, and other ESAPI source files.
359 - CodecTest unit tests never test with a populated char array.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Other changes in this release not tracked via GitHub issues

* Miscellaneous minor javadoc fixes and updates.
* Fixed grammatical error in CipherTextSerializer class error message.
* Upgraded versions of several ESAPI dependencies (i.e., 3rd party jars), including several that had unpatched CVEs.
* Added the Maven plug-in for OWASP Dependency Check so 3rd party dependencies can be kept up-to-date.
* Added .gitignore file so that certain files won't get accidentally commited such as IDE files.
* Added .gitattributes file so to help resolve end-of-line issues. (Part of issue 356.)
* Added new documentation (documentation/ESAPI-configuration-user-guide.md) describing new ESAPI configuration feature.
* Changed many assertions in ESAPI crypto to explicit runtime checks that
  throw IllegalArgumentException instead.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    ATTENTION: Other Important Notes

The JUnit test AuthenticatorTest.setCurrentUser() is periodically failing
due to an apparent race condition either in the test itself or in
FileBasedAuthenticator. See GitHub issue #360 for details, including
why we don't think it is worth holding up the release for.
