I've read the JIRA's and I don't understand why FileItem/Serializable is relevant. As such I'm struggling to understand this thread :-)
It's a design problem. When the DiskFileItem is instantiated, the File isn't necessarily created yet. In other words, the DiskFileItem needs an internal reference to the FileCleaningTracker, which is unfortunately not Serializable. We could continue with ideas like making the FileCleaningTracker transient, but that would violate the contract that the library takes care of removing the temporary files.
If there is a minor incompatible change, like making FileItem no longer implement Serializable, then IMO that can be a v2.0 with the same package name. (Minor means that it has no effect on the vast majority of users. In addition, deprecated methods and classes can be removed. If there are larger changes that involve design changes, especially changes to user code (backwards imcompatible) then that should be a v2.0 with a different package name. If you choose the latter option, I would personally prefer to see [fileupload] move to Java 1.5 at the same time.
I think, what I intend would be closer to the first scenario. However, I am open for a package name change. I am also open for a move to Java 1.5 sources, because my experiences with retrotranslator are good.
