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.
+This is a bugfix release of CLI. Some parts are not backwards compatible:
+
+* 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 best way to test any of the above is to recompile your code against CLI
1.1. All
+should result in compile time errors.
