The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons DbUtils 1.6.
The Commons DbUtils library is a small set of classes designed to make working with JDBC easier. JDBC resource cleanup code is mundane, error prone work so these classes abstract out all of the cleanup tasks from your code leaving you with what you really wanted to do with JDBC in the first place: query and update data. 1.6 is fully binary compatible to the last release. No client code changes are required to migrate from version 1.5 to 1.6. 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-dbutils/download_dbutils.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Alternatively the release can be pulled via maven: <groupId>commons-dbutils</groupId> <artifactId>commons-dbutils</artifactId> <version>1.6</version> Full details of all the changes in 1.6 can be found in the changelog: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/changes-report.html For complete information on Commons DbUtils, including instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache Commons DbUtils website: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbutils/ 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
