We have fixed quite a few bugs and added some significant enhancements since Apache Commons VFS Distribution 2.2 was released, so I would like to release Apache Commons VFS Distribution 2.3.
Apache Commons VFS Distribution 2.3 RC2 is available for review here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.3-RC2 (svn revision 32298) The Git tag commons-vfs-project-2.3-RC2 commit for this RC is a52627eaf1a45190649de6a912d678a16a976707 https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-vfs.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/commons-vfs2-project-2.3-RC2 Maven artifacts are here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1417/org/apache/commons/commons-vfs2-distribution/2.3/ These are the Maven artifacts and their hashes in Nexus: #Release SHA-512s #Fri Feb 01 12:17:36 EST 2019 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-src-zip.asc=c4aa9a73347490cc8f1c6500ad6c7a62e4e8847ca6f4edb0b4b94073ad4bc9aff9f224400ffa4e3ba712babd8190d006a90f7ef188929289f9b9fe35ea7e9c39 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-pom.asc=dcb82e91e452d02838bd9a2cbf7340743eeb5e1149e494c972c5023798a1492f09aa17b969f2066881296ed3a4895b55af2091a1651453db525ce1b20569c927 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-bin-zip=1c1ee0f5916a87557ab45103de39022589ac7f95319dacfb4d644c0e5349c39d5faa0a00e71e16f385609bf66164d389db3e584b76b71bdd54246283c1ae4c79 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-bin-tar.gz=d64024841170c91b11aa12daee145afe9975e8bcf219b3a12ccc2eaa5e13d82b49346584f5221912c5e51b9e923ddea2709a1782e7a4839d43d0c52ef4fb4173 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-bin-tar.gz.asc=5c14d28544d22c8bb246e7b8e110e145232d22bdbd8db24ad689484bd004250c74bc3e3b9d0e1a929180d39d94445a73b6ac37d4b98eb181a1a9f97baf07b91e commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-src-zip=60f2cfb8eb38a5b6b0137b69f4358fed64a2d2f7a89aaf1622d4198adcfe3b18947cf0b182578dde30de4a2bbc3b0fef79b11b6f0fd7ef5e43b96e6aeafa7f34 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-bin-zip.asc=0c2b6cd5e76713ceaaba951bd1e52c6ee1cd756434c215f80521b69613df3531109ba86677c2484c78448e44e3b190e4f5a13ee7b397e41703f61384fc1138c5 commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-src-tar.gz=6f850687094b96126b64eed232419a03853487ff6533c3846b8637fc7496d4d38dae103ebb91086dd20424186bc357706a4c7c2af3123fac4c0c5dafda5b7c3a commons-vfs2-distribution-2.3-src-tar.gz.asc=702cb970cd819ae173e17f272f5121b649fbab0c436d8de4c096491769666376bf0e286a1d1a70f21edbb7a68b1f0c04ed0e088992d82e2972ed17e5ac33f5a4 (no need for .asc hashes!) I have tested this with 'mvn clean install site' using: Apache Maven 3.6.0 (97c98ec64a1fdfee7767ce5ffb20918da4f719f3; 2018-10-24T14:41:47-04:00) Maven home: C:\Java\apache-maven-3.6.0\bin\.. Java version: 1.8.0_202, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_202\jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows" Details of changes since 2.2 are in the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.3-RC2/RELEASE-NOTES.txt https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.3-RC2/site/changes-report.html Site: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.3-RC2/site (note some *relative* links are broken and the 2.3 directories are not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed.) CLIRR Report (compared to 2.2): None generated, use 'mvn clir:check' The Clirr check fails because Clirr does not know about Java 8 default methods, specifically the addition of the default method org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.ftp.FtpClient.getReplyString(). That said, there is no API breakage in 2.3. JApiCmp Report (compared to 2.2): https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.3-RC2/site/japicmp.html This report is empty due to a long standing issue in commons-parent.
