<release version="4.1.4" date="current">
<action dev="BL" type="remove">
Remove the hard deprecation on the o.a.a.f.component package. It
has been replaced by a softer form of deprecation (i.e. just notes
in JavaDocs that do not affect the compile).
</action>
<action dev="PD" type="add">
New ContainerUtil available to make creating components easier.
</action>
</release>
<release version="4.1.3" date="July 30, 2002">
<action dev="BL" type="update">
Undocumented release. Not sure who, what, when, where, why or how.
</action>
</release>
<release version="4.1.2" date="January 31, 2002">

Updated the build jars.

Add EMPTY_PARAMETERS constant object to the Parameters object.
</action>

Made it configurable whether you print nested exceptions or not,
and specify the depth that the AvalonFormatter will go with nested
exceptions (defaults to 8).
</action>

Update build to have a "compress.jars" property (defaults to
true by default).
</action>
</release>
<release version="4.1.1" date="December 21, 2001">
<action dev="BL" type="fix">
Force build process to produce JDK 1.2 compliant class files.
The last release had JDK 1.4 compliant class files, causing
some classloaders to not work with the Framework.
</action>
</release>
<release version="4.1" date="December 12, 2001">
<action dev="JT" type="update">
Improve and update the configuration javadocs to reflect the new
namespace support.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="remove">
Deprecate the Loggable and AbstractLoggable classes, and replace
them with LogEnabled and AbstractLogEnabled.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="add">
Add an abstraction layer to the Logging implementation. Thanks
to Peter Donald for supplying the interface.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="add">
Add Namespace support to Configuration files.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="add">
Add AvalonFormatter that was in LogKit's heirarchy. This way, we
avoid circular dependancies.
</action>
<action dev="PD" type="fix">
Previously resolve did not throw a ContextException. This made it
difficult to indicate errors resolving objects. It now throws an
exception thus allowing errors to be propogated and recorded.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="add">
New ConfigurationSerializer to have your configuration objects persist.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="update">
Upgrade DefaultConfigurationBuilder to be JAXP compliant,

Add new author bios.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="update">
Update build process to proposed standard.

<action dev="PD" type="add">
Added a method to Version to parse a Version from a string. Added accessor
methods to Version to allow access to major/minor/micro components of version.
</action>
<action dev="PD" type="update">
Updated Version class to refer to micro version rather than revision. This
is to match the terminology for JDK versioning. This is just documentation
changes.
</action>
<action dev="JT" type="fix">
Changed access of Enum and ValuedEnum constructors from public to
protected, to prevent Enum users from breaking type-safety by adding new
Enum items. This breaks backwards-compatibility in cases where Enum
and ValuedEnum were being incorrectly used.
</action>
</release>
<release version="4.0" date="July 30, 2001">
<action dev="BL" type="add">

on failure.

Add a makeReadOnly() method to the default implementations of Configuration,
Context and ComponentManager. Calling this method after the respective
object has been filled will make the object read-only. This is a safety
precaution to stop code performing unwanted operations.

Updated the javadocs of many of the classes.
</action>
<action dev="BL" type="update">
Update documentation so that it is more accurate and descriptive.
