There is no CLIRR Report, see JApiCmp below. JApiCmp Report (compared to 2.3): https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/vfs/2.4-RC1/site/commons-vfs2/japicmp.html Note that Clirr reports several issues. These are considered OK for the reasons stated below. These exceptions are also noted in the Release Notes. - Source incompatibility: org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileFilter.accept(FileSelectInfo) now throws checked exception FileSystemException. - Public API note: The overridden methods getURI() and getFriendlyURI() in org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.local.LocalFileName where removed but are implemented in a superclass. - Public API note: The overridden method org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.SftpFileObject#refresh() was removed but is implemented in a superclass. - Public API note: The overridden method org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.sftp.SftpFileProvider#init() was removed but is implemented in a superclass.

Thank you, Gary Gregory, Release Manager (using key 86fdc7e2a11262cb) For following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers. Validating a release candidate ============================== These guidelines are NOT complete. Requirements: Git, Java, Maven. You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows. 1) Clone and checkout the RC tag git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-vfs.git --branch commons-vfs-2.4-RC1 commons-vfs-2.4-RC1 cd commons-vfs-2.4-RC1 2) Check Apache licenses This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page which you then must check. mvn apache-rat:check 3) Check binary compatibility Older components still use Apache Clirr: Use JApiCmp with the japicmp Maven Profile: This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page which you then must check. mvn install -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp 4) Build the package mvn -V clean package You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply. To gather OS information from a command line: Windows: ver Linux: uname -a 5) Build the site for a single module project Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged. mvn site Check the site reports in: - Windows: target\site\index.html - Linux: target/site/index.html 6) Build the site for a multi-module project mvn site mvn site:stage Check the site reports in: - Windows: target\site\index.html - Linux: target/site/index.html -the end-
