The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons DBCP 2.0.
The Apache Commons DBCP open source software library provides Database Connection Pooling. DBCP 2.x is based on Commons Pool 2 and provides increased performance, JMX support as well as numerous other new features compared to DBCP 1.x. Users upgrading to 2.x should be aware that the Java package name has changed, as well as the Maven co-ordinates, since DBCP 2.x is not binary compatible with DBCP 1.x. Users should also be aware that some configuration options have been renamed (e.g. maxActive to maxTotal) to align them with the new names used by Commons Pool 2. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/download_dbcp.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Full details of all the changes in 2.0 can be found in the changelog: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/changes-report.html For complete information on Commons DBCP, including instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache Commons DBCP website: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/ Mark Thomas, on behalf of the Apache Commons community
