The Commons IO team is pleased to announce the Commons IO 2.2 release! Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io. Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high reuse as to justify existence in java.io.
The Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more. This is a drop-in replacement for 2.1. A list of the 15 new features, 1 change and 8 bug fixes in this release are found in the release notes and below. https://commons.apache.org/io/changes-report.html#a2.2 For general information on Commons IO please visit the website: http://commons.apache.org/io/ The latest version may be downloaded from the following page: http://commons.apache.org/io/download_io.cgi Thanks again to all involved in the release, both Commons users and Commons developers. ============================================================================== Commons IO Package Version 2.2 ============================================================================== Changes in this version include: New features: o IO-313: Add IOUTils.toBufferedReader(Reader) Thanks to ggregory. o IO-308: Allow applications to provide buffer (or size) for copyLarge methods.
