+ Apache Commons CLI
+ Version 1.4
+ Release Notes
+
+
+INTRODUCTION:
+
+This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons CLI
+package. Commons CLI provides a simple API for working with the command line
+arguments and options.
+
+Commons CLI 1.4 is a feature release and binary compatible with the
+previous versions, except for the OptionValidator class that is no longer
public
+(change introduced in v1.2). Commons CLI 1.4 at least requires Java 5.0.
+
+More information can be found on the project site at
+https://commons.apache.org/cli.
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+============
+
+o CLI-269: Introduce CommandLine.Builder
+o CLI-267: Add an addRequiredOption method to Options.
+ Thanks to Ricardo Ribeiro.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+=========
+
+o CLI-265: Optional argument picking up next regular option as its argument.
+ Thanks to Martin Sandiford.
+o CLI-266: HelpFormatter.setOptionComparator(null) doesn't display the values
+ in inserted order. Thanks to Ravi Teja.
+
+
+ Release Notes for version 1.3.1
+
+BUG FIXES
+=========
+
+o CLI-252: LongOpt falsely detected as ambiguous. Thanks to Simon Harrer.
+
+
+ Release Notes for version 1.3
+
+NOTES
+=====
+
+A new parser is available: DefaultParser. It combines the features of the
+GnuParser and the PosixParser. It also provides additional features like
+partial matching for the long options, and long options without
+separator (i.e like the JVM memory settings: -Xmx512m). This new parser
+deprecates the previous ones.
+
+DEPRECATIONS
+============
+
+o org.apache.commons.cli.BasicParser
+ replaced by org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser
+
+o org.apache.commons.cli.GnuParser
+ replaced by org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser
+
+o org.apache.commons.cli.OptionBuilder
+ replaced by org.apache.commons.cli.Option.builder()
+ org.apache.commons.cli.Option.builder(String)
+ org.apache.commons.cli.Option.Builder
+
+o org.apache.commons.cli.Parser
+ replaced by org.apache.commons.cli.DefaultParser

+o CLI-160: PosixParser now supports partial long options (--ver instead of
+ --version).
+o CLI-169: HelpFormatter now supports setting the displayed separator of long
+ options. Thanks to J. Lewis Muir.

+ option type has been explicitly set. Thanks to Manuel Müller.
+o CLI-212: HelpFormatter now prints command-line options in the same order as
