			Commons CLI Package
			   Version 1.0.1
			    Release Notes


INTRODUCTION:

This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons
CLI package. Commons CLI provdes a simple API for working with the command line arguments and options.

This release is identical to version 1.0 except for minor documentation updates and a new version number.
Absolutely no changes have been made to the code since the 1.0 release.

Due to an unfortunate accident, the 1.0 jar file published on ibiblio (used in particular by Maven)
at http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/commons-cli/jars was overwritten at some point by a snapshot of
later code (i.e. file commons-cli-1.0.jar became a snapshot of the trunk code at about
12 months after the 1.0 release). The binary and source distribution downloads available via the
download pages of Apache or its mirrors is, and always has been the correct 1.0 release.

 * The md5 checksum of the valid 1.0 jar is: f6feeb3b3d95f7d09180fd71e96cead4 
 * The md5 checksum of the invalid 1.0 jar is: 5cb21f532ab921134751b4b6e4807be4 

All users of 1.0 should upgrade to 1.0.1 to ensure that they are using a proper release
rather than a snapshot. In particular, any maven project.xml files that declare a dependency on
CLI 1.0 should be upgraded to 1.0.1 and the project recompiled/retested.

The snapshot which was accidentally published on ibiblio contains a number of API
differences from the actual 1.0 release. Most obviously, the snapshot jar contains classes
OptionValidator and Util which are not present in the real 1.0 release.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
