			Commons Lang Package
			   Version 1.0
			    Release Notes


INTRODUCTION:

This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons
Lang package. Commons Lang is a set of utility functions and reusable 
components that should be a help in any Java environment.

NEW FEATURES:

Since the release of the b1 package the following have been added:

lang.
    SystemUtils: 
      Brings together many system specific variables under one easy component.

exception.
    ExceptionUtils: 
      Provides helpful static functions for dealing with Exceptions.
    NestableError : 
      Adds nesting ability to Errors.

enum sub-package: 
    A solid version of the typical Java translation of a C enum.

builder sub-package: 
    A series of helpers for handling standard Object methods such as equals,
    toString, compareTo and hashCode in a professional manner.


BUG FIXES:

StringUtils.stripStart and stripEnd were improved to match their Javadoc. 
StringUtils.convertUnicodeToNative and convertNativeToUnicode both removed. 
    Both methods did not work properly.


DEPRECATIONS:

Much of the exception subpackage was reworked between 1.0-b1 and 1.0. Apart 
from this the API should have a high level of backward compatibility.
