The Apache Software Foundation
The Commons IO team is pleased to announce the Commons IO 2.2 release!
Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes like java.io. Classes in this package are considered to be
so standard and of such high reuse as to justify existence in java.io.
The Commons IO library contains utility classes, stream implementations, file
filters, file comparators, endian transformation classes, and much more.
This is a drop-in replacement for 2.1. A list of the 15 new features, 1 change
and 8 bug fixes in this release are found in the release notes and below.

Thanks again to all involved in the release, both Commons users and
Commons developers.
