Apache Commons CLI
76+
Version 1.4
77+
Release Notes
78+
79+
80+
INTRODUCTION:
81+
82+
This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons CLI
83+
package. Commons CLI provides a simple API for working with the command line
84+
arguments and options.
85+
86+
Commons CLI 1.4 is a feature release and binary compatible with the
87+
previous versions, except for the OptionValidator class that is no longer public
88+
(change introduced in v1.2). Commons CLI 1.4 at least requires Java 5.0.
89+
90+
More information can be found on the project site at
91+
https://commons.apache.org/cli.
92+
93+
94+
NEW FEATURES
95+
============
96+
97+
o CLI-269: Introduce CommandLine.Builder
98+
o CLI-267: Add an addRequiredOption method to Options.
99+
Thanks to Ricardo Ribeiro.
100+
101+
102+
BUG FIXES
103+
=========
104+
105+
o CLI-265: Optional argument picking up next regular option as its argument.
106+
Thanks to Martin Sandiford.
107+
o CLI-266: HelpFormatter.setOptionComparator(null) doesn't display the values
108+
in inserted order. Thanks to Ravi Teja.

Release Notes for version 1.3.1
112+
113+

Release Notes for version 1.3
120+
121+
NOTES
122+
=====
123+
124+
A new parser is available: DefaultParser. It combines the features of the
125+
GnuParser and the PosixParser. It also provides additional features like
126+
partial matching for the long options, and long options without
127+
separator (i.e like the JVM memory settings: -Xmx512m). This new parser
128+
deprecates the previous ones.
129+
