+This document contains the release notes for the 3.0 version of Apache Commons
Lang.
+Commons Lang is a set of utility functions and reusable components that should
be of use in any
+Java environment.
+Lang 3.0 now targets Java 5.0, making use of features that arrived with Java
5.0 such as generics,
+variable arguments, autoboxing, concurrency and formatted output.
-COMPATIBILITY WITH 2.4
-======================
-Lang 2.5 is binary compatible release with Lang 2.4, containing bug fixes and
small enhancements.
+Note that this is a Beta release. The API is largely stable, and we're eager
for feedback on
+the mailing list or issue tracker.
-Lang 2.5 requires a minimum of JDK 1.3.
