                                Release Notes


INTRODUCTION
============

This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons
FileUpload component, and highlights changes since the previous version.

Documentation for this release is available on the FileUpload web site:

    http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
	

UPGRADING
=========

Upgrading from FileUpload 1.0 can be as simple as recompiling your application
with the new version. However, it is likely that you will get deprecation
warnings when you do so, since changes have been made to the exposed API of
FileUpload to make it more suitable for use in both Servlet and Portlet
environments. You can, of course, elect to ignore those deprecations, and
leave your code changes until a subsequent version of FileUpload in which those
deprecated methods are removed. To upgrade your code and remove references to
the deprecated methods, please see the FileUpload User Guide.


NEW FEATURES
============

* Support for Portlet environments is now available. Some restructuring was
  necessary in order to accomplish this, which is the major cause of the
  deprecations mentioned above.

* If a character encoding is specified in the request, that is used instead
  of the system default encoding.

* The character set to be used when parsing individual parts can now be
  specified.

* Actual and maximum request sizes are specified when an exception is thrown
  due to exceeding the maximum.

* Temporary file names are now unique across class loaders.

* DiskFileItem is now serializable.


BUG FIXES
=========

Many bugs in the code and documentation have been fixed in this release. Please
see the Changes report for full details.

The following are some of the more important bug fixes:

* A new mechanism for deleting temporary files has been added, to ensure that
  deletions happen in a timely manner in long-running applications.

* Quoted multipart boundaries are now handled correctly.

* Header values are now compared case-independently.
