The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons Lang 3.4.
Apache Commons Lang, a package of Java utility classes for the classes that are in java.lang's hierarchy, or are considered to be so standard as to justify existence in java.lang. 3.4 is binary compatible to the last release 3.3.2. However there has been a change to the value of the constant org.apache.commons.lang3.time.DurationFormatUtils.ISO_EXTENDED_FORMAT_PATTERN which may affect clients. More information about this, as well as the full details of all the changes in 3.4 see the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/lang/RELEASE-NOTES.txt The minimum required JDK version for this release is 1.6.
