Rory, could we change the release notes slightly for 1.4.0? I think your description of the date format changes doesn't really give the flavor of what's involved here. This bit from the FTPClientConfig javadoc is a fuller description:The Commons-Net team are pleased to announce the release of version 1.4.0. This release provides several fixes and enhancements, including:
- The addition of a new configuration mechanism that enables the FTPClient component to work with a much larger range of server formats and locales; - The addition of missing NTP unit tests; - The addition of a new FTP parser implementation for MVS; - Various fixes to the TFPClient and NTPClient components
A list of changes can be found at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/changes-report.html#1_4_0

Use cases: You are trying to access a server that
* lists files with timestamps that use month names in languages other than English
* lists files with timestamps that use date formats other than the American English "standard" MM dd yyyy
* is in different timezone and you need accurate timestamps for dependency checking as in Ant
and I would now add a fourth
* supports the new all-numeric date formats now being used on the
ftp servers distributed with some newer Linux distributions.(That fourth one was really a defect that was never logged as such but communicated on the list about a month ago).
