>
> [http://www.apache.org/~bayard/lang2.0/ contains a preliminary build
> of 2.0 and the javadoc and javadiff]
>
> What's not going:
> ----------------
>
> lang.functor has been removed from Lang. Collections will gain what it
> needs and [Functor] will be looked to for the complete functor-style
> solution.
>
> lang.reflect is not ready yet.
>
> What's new:
> ----------
>
> lang.math.* package, which contains Range classes, RandomUtils and a
> Fraction class.
>
> lang.util.* package, which contains an IdentifierUtils, for easing IDs, a
> Validate class [akin to JUnit Assert in style] and BitField from the old
> Commons Util project [as created by POI].
>
> lang.time.* package, which contains a DateUtils, an optimised DateFormat,
> a StopWatch class for measuring time periods, a DateFormatUtils and a
> DurationFormatUtils [for describing time periods].
>
> In the top level package, we see a series of additions. There are a set of
> reusable Exceptions which provide slightly tighter meaning than their
> Commons Lang superclasses, IllegalClassException and
> NotImplementedException are examples of these. We also see the addition of
> more Utils classes:
>
> ArrayUtils
> BooleanUtils
> ClassUtils
> StringEscapeUtils
> StringPrintWriter
> WordWrapUtils
>
> What's changed:
> --------------
>
> ToStringBuilder has gained an inner class.
> builder.* packages have gained new methods
> NumberUtils has a series of constants, LONG_ZERO, LONG_ONE etc. It is also
> deprecated for a move into the math subpackage.
> StringUtils has a series of new methods. A couple have been deprecated.
> The order in which a nested exception is printed has been reversed and a
> static legacy option left to reverse it the other way if desired. This
> now matches JDK 1.4 direction.
>
> What's gone:
> -----------
>
> lang.NumberRange is gone as it has now moved into the math subpackage.
>
> The release:
> -----------
>
> Following a successful vote, the PMC will be notified of the desire to
> release and the instructions at
> http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/ followed to create a
> release. A changelog with 'jardiff' will be included.
