The commons-configuration team is pleased to announce the Commons Configuration 1.0 release! http://commons.apache.org/configuration/ Tools to assist in the reading of configuration/preferences files in various formats Changes in this version include: Fixed bugs: o The getStringArray() method in CompositeConfiguration now interpolates the strings. Issue: CONFIGURATION-66. o SubsetConfiguration now shares the "throwExceptionOnMissing" property with its parent. Issue: CONFIGURATION-23. o Removed "file:" at the beginning of the base path when calling setFile() on a FileConfiguration. This prevented auto saving an XMLConfiguration loaded from a File (issue reported by Mark Roth). o Properties added to an XMLConfiguration are no longer duplicated in the resulting XML file. Issue: CONFIGURATION-90. Changes: o All NamingEnumerations in JNDIConfiguraiton are now properly closed (Suggested by Eric Jung). Have fun! -The commons-configuration team
