+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.
-This is a bugfix release of CLI. Some parts are not backwards compatible:
+CLI 1.1 is a bugfix release of CLI. The following changes notable API changes
were made:
-* The CommandLineParser interface has two additional methods. If you were
extending this,
- then you will need to add methods to your classes. If you were extending the
abstract
- Parser class, then you should be okay.
-* The HelpFormatter class had publicly accessible fields. These are now
accessed via
- get/set methods.
-* Two of HelpFormatter's methods no longer throw IllegalArgumentException.
-* The Option class is no longer cloneable, and no longer has an
addValue(String) method.
+ * The Parser abstract class has two additional parse methods that take a
Properties parameter.
+ * The HelpFormatter class had publicly accessible fields. These should now be
accessed via get/set methods and the public fields are deprecated.
+ * The Option class addValue(String) method now throws
UnsupportedOperationException.
+ * OptionValidator is a newly added class.
+ * Option's now have equals(Object) and hashCode() methods.
+ * The Option class also received two new methods, setDescription(String) and
hasValueSeparator();boolean.
-The best way to test any of the above is to recompile your code against CLI
1.1. All
-should result in compile time errors.
+The jar should be API backwards compatible, though if you were calling
addValue(String) then you won't be happy. Please let us know your use case if
that is so.
