Apache Commons Lang
Version 3.4
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION:
This document contains the release notes for the 3.4 version of
Apache Commons Lang. Commons Lang is a set of utility functions and reusable
components that should be of use in any Java environment. Commons Lang 3.4
at least requires Java 6.0.
For the advice on upgrading from 2.x to 3.x, see the following page:
http://commons.apache.org/lang/article3_0.html
COMPATIBILITY
=============
Commons Lang 3.4 is fully binary compatible to the last release and can
therefore be used as a drop in replacement for 3.3.2. Note that the value of
org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DurationFormatUtils.ISO_EXTENDED_FORMAT_PATTERN
has changed, which may affect clients using the constant. Furthermore the
constant is used internally in
o DurationFormatUtils.formatDurationISO(long)
o DurationFormatUtils.formatPeriodISO(long, long)
For more information see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1000.

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<Rule> 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.
