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.

                    o IO-451:  ant test fails - resources missing from test classpath Thanks to David Standish.
                    o IO-435:  Document that FileUtils.deleteDirectory, directoryContains and cleanDirectory
                             may throw an IllegalArgumentException in case the passed directory does not

                    o IO-385:  FileUtils.doCopyFile can potentially loop forever
                             Exit loop if no data to copy

                             Fix code so skip relates to the encoded bytes; reset now re-encodes the data up to the point of the mark

                    o IO-362:  IOUtils.contentEquals* methods returns false if input1 == input2, should return true. Thanks to mmadson, ggregory.
                    o IO-357:  [Tailer] InterruptedException while the thread is sleeping is silently ignored Thanks to mortenh.
                    o IO-352:  Spelling fixes. Thanks to scop.
                    o IO-436:  Improper Javadoc comment for FilenameUtils.indexOfExtension. Thanks to christoph.schneegans.

                             [N.B. this is binary compatible]
                    o IO-328:  getPrefixLength returns null if filename has leading slashes
                            Javadoc: add examples to show correct behavior; add unit tests
                    o IO-299:  FileUtils.listFilesAndDirs includes original dir in results even when it doesn't match filter
