                              Release Notes


INTRODUCTION:

This document contains the release notes for the 3.3.1 version of

components that should be of use in any Java environment. Commons Lang 3.3.1
at least requires Java 6.0.

For the advice on upgrading from 2.x to 3.x, see the following page:

COMPATIBILITY WITH 3.1
========================

This release introduces backwards incompatible changes in
org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat:
o Method 'protected java.util.List parsePattern()' has been removed
o Method 'protected java.lang.String parseToken(java.lang.String, int[])' has
  been removed
o Method 'protected org.apache.commons.lang3.time.FastDateFormat$NumberRule
  selectNumberRule(int, int)' has been removed

These changes were the result of [LANG-462]. It is assumed that this change
will not break clients as Charles Honton pointed out on 25/Jan/12:
"
 1. Methods "FastDateFormat$NumberRule selectNumberRule(int, int)" and
    "List<Rule> parsePattern()" couldn't have been overridden because
    NumberRule and Rule were private to FastDateFormat.
 2. Due to the factory pattern used, it's unlikely other two methods would have
    been overridden.
 3. The four methods are highly implementation specific. I consider it a
    mistake that the methods were exposed.
"
For more information see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-462.
