The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons Lang 3.2.
The Apache Commons Lang open source software library provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang API, notably String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods, object reflection, concurrency, creation and serialization and System properties. Additionally it contains basic enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utilities dedicated to help with building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals. No client code changes are required to migrate from version 3.1 to 3.2. There has been a binary incompatible change in org.apche.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat, but it is considered not to affect client code. For more information please see the release notes. Users of version 2.x should consult the migration guide on the Commons Lang web site. The minimum required JDK version for this release is 1.6. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/download_lang.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Full details of all the changes in 3.2 can be found in the changelog: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/changes-report.html For complete information on Commons Lang, including instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache Commons Lang website: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/ Benedikt Ritter, on behalf of the Apache Commons community -- http://people.apache.org/~britter/ http://www.systemoutprintln.de/ http://twitter.com/BenediktRitter http://github.com/britter
