Gilles Sadowski commented on IO-797:
------------------------------------
bq. I can fix my code but I expected this sort of change only to be made with a
major version number bump.
If you recompile in order to benefit from new features, then you must be
prepared to deal with all the changes that might impact your code...
> IOUtils.readLines breaking change
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-797
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.12.0
> Reporter: Dave Moten
> Priority: Minor
>
> org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.readLines no longer throws IOException as of
> 2.12.0 but rather throws an UncheckedIOException.
> This is a breaking change in that wrapping such a call with try catch
> (IOException e) now attracts a compile error because the method no longer
> throws IOException.
> I'm unaware if this is a routine thing for this library, I would hope not. I
> can fix my code but I expected this sort of change only to be made with a
> major version number bump.
