The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the availability of Apache Commons Configuration 2.0-beta2.
The Commons Configuration software library provides a generic configuration interface which enables an application to read configuration data from a variety of sources. This is another beta release incorporating some minor API changes in reaction to community feedback. Hopefully the API is stabilizing towards the final 2.0 release. Version 2 is a major redesign of the Configuration API. It breaks compatibility in many areas and, therefore, is not a drop-in replacement for Commons Configuration 1.x. The main purpose of this series of alpha and beta releases is to gather feedback from the community about the reworked API. IT IS NOT YET PRODUCTION READY. There may still be some changes on the public API. A full list of all changes can be found in the release notes at http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/configuration/RELEASE-NOTES.txt There is also an upgrade guide available for users of version 1.x at http://commons.apache.org/configuration/userguide/upgradeto2_0.html Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/download_configuration.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. (Note: Because this is a beta version, we decided that it will not be distributed to Maven central.)
