> Key: NET-729
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-729
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FTP
> Affects Versions: 3.9.0, 3.10.0
> Environment: Android 7 and lower
> Reporter: Henrik Lindqvist
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.11.0

>
> Has for a decade been using this library in an Android app. Decided to update
> from an older version to 3.10.0 mostly for the fixed security issue, but this
> is sadly not possible due to version 3.9.0 now requires Java 8 which Android
> lacks full support for, e.g. it's missing java.time.Duration. It's
> unfortunate that such unnecessary changes are made, replacing working code
> with new Java features just for the fun of it, since this will force projects
> use another dependency making this library even more irrelevant. Please
> revert the changes that use Java 8 features, or at least update the
> documentation with a notice that version 3.9.0 is not binary compatible with
> prior versions: [https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-net/migration.html]
