The Apache Commons project would like to announce the immediate availability of Commons DBCP versions 1.3 and 1.4.
Commons DBCP is a database connection pool. Version 1.4 supports JDBC 4, so requires JDK 1.6. Version 1.3 supports JDBC 3. Applications running under JDK 1.4-1.5 must use DBCP 1.3. Applications running under JDK 1.6 should use DBCP 1.4. Other than support for the added methods in JDBC 4, there is nothing new or different in DBCP 1.4 vs. DBCP 1.3. In addition to support for JDBC 4 in 1.4, both releases contain numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Support for pooling managed connections and callable statements has been added, and several long-standing API consistency and reliability issues have been resolved. A detailed list of changes can be found in the release notes: http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/dbcp/RELEASE-NOTES.txt Commons DBCP depends on Commons Pool. DBCP users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest Commons Pool version - currently 1.5.4.
