11 October 2005 - Jakarta Commons-IO 1.1 Released

The Jakarta Commons-IO team is pleased to announce the release of Jakarta Commons-IO version 1.1.

Commons IO is a library of utility, file filter, endian and stream classes that aim to make working with IO much more pleasant. Many of these classes probably should be in the JDK itself.

This release fixes all open bugs, and adds various enhancements, including:

• FilenameUtils - A static utility class for working with filenames without File objects
• FileSystemUtils - A static utility class that allows you to get the free space on a drive
• IOUtils/FileUtils - read and write files line by line into a List
• WildcardFilter - A new filter that can match using wildcard file names

This release is binary and source compatible with 1.0 according to our tests. There are some minor semantic changes caused by bug fixes which should not affect the vast majority of 1.0 users - please check the release notes for full details. To simplify the API, there has also been a deprecation - please check the release notes. We recommend all users of commons-io-1.0 upgrade to 1.1 to pickup the numerous bugs fixes.
