Hi all,
we have accumulated enough changes since the last 4.0 release as well as
we need to provide a fix for the known remote code exploit via java
de-serialization. Therefore, I would like to start a vote to release
Commons Collections 4.1 based on RC2.
Note:
* The fix for the security related issue results in Clirr errors as
unsafe classes in the functor package do not implement the
Serializable interface anymore. This is mentioned in the release
notes.
* There are 2 test failures with the IBM 6 JDK. The same failures were
reported for the 4.0 release and are related to a buggy Map
implementation in this JDK
* Commons Collections 4.X does not successfully compile with JDK 9 EA
This will be tackled in a later release.
Changes since RC1:
* fixed compilation problems of test classes with some Java 8 compilers
* fixed some javadoc in IterableUtils and MultiValuedMap
* added travis configuration (only in the repository, not part of the
release) to help a RM by building with different jdks
