Alex Herbert commented on IO-797:
---------------------------------
Note: Special handling added by the caller for the checked exception will now
be skipped. The update of the library forces a recompile of caller code to
re-enable any special handling in catch blocks.
This issue is flagged by RevAPI as binary compatible but not source compatible:
[java.method.exception.checkedRemoved|https://revapi.org/revapi-java/0.28.1/differences.html#java.method.exception.checkedRemoved]
> IOUtils.readLines source compatibility 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.
