02 August 2004 - Commons BeanUtils 1.7 Released

The Jakarta Commons team is happy to announce the release of Commons BeanUtils 1.7. This is an important service release intended to help downstream applications solve dependency issues. The dependency on commons collections (which has become problematic now that there are two incompatible series of commons collections releases) has been factored into a separate optional sub-component plus a small number of stable and mature org.apache.commons.collections packaged classes which are distributed with the BeanUtils core. This arrangement means that the BeanUtils core sub-component (which is the primary dependency for most downsteam applications) can now be safely included on the same classpath as commons collections 2.x, 3.x or indeed neither.

The distribution now contains alternative jar sets. The all-in-one jar contains all classes. The modular jar set consists of a core jar dependent only on commons logging and an optional bean collections jar (containing classes that provide easy and efficient ways to manage collections of beans) which depends on commons collections 3.

For more details, see the BeanUtils home page. BeanUtils 1.7.0 is fully binary compatible with earlier BeanUtils releases.

The source and binaries are available for download from the usual places. Please remember to check the MD5 sum when download from a mirror.

03 July - Commons Betwixt 0.5 Released

The Jakarta Commons team is pleased to announce the release of Betwixt 0.5. Both binary and source distributions are now available.

Betwixt is a dynamic start-from-java xml-object mapper.

This release is intended to consolidate the codebase previously released as Betwixt-1.0-Alpha-1. It is recommended that those users who are currently using that release or later snapshots (of this codebase) upgrade to this version. Note that those users currently using a snapshot from the refactoring branch should wait until the 0.6 version is released.

A new release and versioning strategy for Betwixt has been adopted. The version name 0.5 more accurately reflects the current state of the released codebase. It is stable but limited and important elements of the API are likely to change in the future. More frequent releases are now planning and a 0.6 release containing the improved bean reading design is planned for the near future.
