COMPATIBILITY ============= Apache Commons Lang 3.5 is binary compatible with the 3.4 release. Users should not experience any problems when upgrading from 3.4 to 3.5. There has been an addition to the org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DatePrinter interface: o Added method 'public boolean parse(java.lang.String, java.text.ParsePosition, java.util.Calendar)' o Added method 'public java.lang.Appendable format(long, java.lang.Appendable)' o Added method 'public java.lang.Appendable format(java.util.Date, java.lang.Appendable)' o Added method 'public java.lang.Appendable format(java.util.Calendar, java.lang.Appendable)' For this reason 3.5 is not strictly source compatible to 3.4. Since the DatePrinter interface is not meant to be implemented by clients, this change it not considered to cause any problems. JAVA 9 SUPPORT ============== Java 9 introduces a new version-string scheme. Details of this new scheme are documented in JEP-223 (https://openjdk.org/jeps/223). In order to support JEP-223 two classes had to be changed: o org.apache.commons.lang3.JavaVersion deprecated enum constant JAVA_1_9 introduced enum constant JAVA_9 o org.apache.commons.lang3.SystemUtils deprecated constant IS_JAVA_1_9 introduced constant IS_JAVA_9 For more information see LANG-1197 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1197). All other APIs are expected to work with Java 9. BUILDING ON JAVA 9 ================== Java 8 introduced the Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository as alternative source for locale data. Java 9 will use the CLDR provider as default provider for locale data (see https://openjdk.org/jeps/252). This causes a number of locale-sensitive test in Commons Lang to fail. In order to build Commons Lang 3.5 on Java 9, the locale provider has to be set to 'JRE': mvn -Djava.locale.providers=JRE clean install We are currently investigating ways to support building on Java 9 without further configuration. For more information see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1265 NEW FEATURES ============== o LANG-1275: Added a tryAcquire() method to TimedSemaphore. o LANG-1255: Add DateUtils.toCalendar(Date, TimeZone).

Thanks to Bruno P. Kinoshita, Henri Yandell. o LANG-938: Build fails with test failures when building with JDK 8 ============================================================================= Release Notes for version 3.2 COMPATIBILITY WITH 3.1 ======================== This release introduces backwards incompatible changes in org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat: o Method 'protected java.util.List parsePattern()' has been removed o Method 'protected java.lang.String parseToken(java.lang.String, int[])' has been removed o Method 'protected org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat$NumberRule selectNumberRule(int, int)' has been removed These changes were the result of [LANG-462]. It is assumed that this change will not break clients as Charles Honton pointed out on 25/Jan/12: " 1. Methods "FastDateFormat$NumberRule selectNumberRule(int, int)" and "List parsePattern()" couldn't have been overridden because NumberRule and Rule were private to FastDateFormat. 2. Due to the factory pattern used, it's unlikely other two methods would have been overridden. 3. The four methods are highly implementation specific. I consider it a mistake that the methods were exposed. " For more information see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-462.
