It's been more than a year since the last release of Commons Compress and it is about time to get the fixes and enhancements out of the door.
Compress 1.19 RC1 is available for review here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/compress/ (svn revision 35357) The tag is here: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-compress.git;a=tag;h=b2a7871ae59a71e7558baa2ac28af357d6fbd11f on commit https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-compress.git;a=commit;h=516f76ac1fe48be9a5162e53e4d0a99f23774565 Maven artifacts are here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1459/org/apache/commons/commons-compress/1.19/ These are the Maven artifacts and their sha256 hashes ff2d59fad74e867630fbc7daab14c432654712ac624dbee468d220677b124dd5 commons-compress-1.19.jar aff72b1713b4c5227f18182fb927dfaf76c0b9dabdc8ea1c101e0d981490c250 commons-compress-1.19-javadoc.jar 9d5a690d1dea6a747e0dd8e74e64447167f395cb8f148010b8241334f58b525b commons-compress-1.19.pom 3952fb4e01ea5fc03ae25e0dab2f3d5b4f71a71d3750c7f03dffa6aba8075757 commons-compress-1.19-sources.jar a92b92e2b4c7ea4167e50bac4f55a3f03301164d0e52f33d0db357dacf0166f6 commons-compress-1.19-tests.jar db59bff01c65ac3b8d078d1f4271c6f4f1754a05e79decb910c2e586f4649483 commons-compress-1.19-test-sources.jar I have tested this with Java 8 using Maven 3.5.4. Details of changes since 1.18 are in the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/compress/RELEASE-NOTES.txt https://stefan.samaflost.de/staging/commons-compress-1.19/changes-report.html Site: https://stefan.samaflost.de/staging/commons-compress-1.19/ Note, as usual when I cut the release this is *not* the site I'm going to publish. I'll modify it once the release date is fixed. As usual the download page or the javadocs for the 1.19 release will not work. japicmp Report (compared to 1.18): https://stefan.samaflost.de/staging/commons-compress-1.19/japicmp.html For some reason japicmp decided to compare 1.19 to itself, so I rebuilt the report on master. I hope to figure out what is going on before preparing the final site. The binary incompatible changes to PKWareExtraHeader and its X_* subclasses are noted inside the release notes and are extremely unlikely to affect anybody as nobody will be using the methods with added throws clauses directly. RAT Report: https://stefan.samaflost.de/staging/commons-compress-1.19/rat-report.html KEYS: https://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS Please review the release candidate and vote.
