        It also provides additional features like partial matching for the long options, and long options without

      <action type="fix" dev="joehni" issue="CLI-177">

      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="sgoeschl">
        Fixing some minor javadoc issues.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-137">
        The number of arguments defined for an option specifies the arguments per occurrence of the option
        and not for all occurrences. This was a major regression in CLI 1.1 which prevented the use of repeated options.
      </action>
      <action type="add" dev="ebourg">
        Added a getOptionProperties() method in the CommandLine class to retrieve easily the key/value pairs
        specified with options like -Dkey1=value1 -Dkey2=value2.
      </action>
      <action type="update" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-157">

      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-164">
        PosixParser no longer ignores unrecognized short options.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-163">
        PosixParser no longer stops the bursting process of a token if stopAtNonOption is enabled and a non option
        character is encountered.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-165">
        PosixParser no longer keeps processing the tokens after an unrecognized long option
        when stopAtNonOption is enabled.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-156">
        Required options are properly checked if an Options instance is used twice to parse a command line.
      </action>
      <action type="update" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-155">
        The ordering of options can be defined in help messages.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-151" due-to="Dan Armbrust">
        The line wrapping in HelpFormatter now works properly. This caused CLI-162, and thus there was a feature change
        for the HelpFormatter in that it is strict on width now rather than what seemed to be lenience before. Text without
        whitespace will be cut off to fit in the spacing, and an IllegalStateException will be thrown if it is impossible
        to output the information due to spacing constraints.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-149">
        The message of MissingOptionException has been improved.
      </action>
      <action type="update" dev="ebourg" issue="CLI-86">
        The exceptions have been enhanced with methods to retrieve easily the related options.
      </action>
      <action type="fix" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-141" due-to="Henning Schmiedehausen, Bjorn Townsend">
        Option.toString() now reports arguments properly.
      </action>
      <action type="update" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-142" due-to="Henning Schmiedehausen">
        The Parser class has been changed to be more easily extendable.
      </action>
      <action type="update" dev="bayard" issue="CLI-140">
        The following classes are now serializable: Option, OptionGroup, CommandLine and Options.
      </action>
      <action type="remove" dev="ebourg">
        OptionValidator is no longer public, its methods were all private.
      </action>
    </release>
