Gary D. Gregory resolved IO-794.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Information Provided
> Incompatible method signature change of FileUtils.readLine
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-794
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-794
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.12.0
> Reporter: Sebastian T
> Priority: Major
>
> The following commit
> [https://github.com/apache/commons-io/commit/166dea37e810fcfa9c72cf1f107fd38cfb432486]
> changed the throws Signature of the FileUtils.readLine methods from "throws
> IOException" to "throws UncheckedIOException". This change results in
> compilation failures if the checked IOException was catched explicitly
> (`Unreachable catch block for IOException`).
> Backwards incompatible API changes should only be done in major releases. I'd
> therefore like ask that this change is reverted and ideally a new minor
> release is provided as soon as possible.
