[ANNOUNCEMENT] Commons Collections 4.0-alpha1 released
The Apache Commons team is pleased to announce the release of
commons-collections4-4.0-alpha1!
Commons Collections is a project to develop and maintain collection
classes based on and inspired by the JDK collection framework.
Collections 4 uses the generics features of Java 5 and is not compatible
with earlier JDK versions.
This is the first release of Collections 4 and is being made available
to encourage use and feedback from the community. The API for the final
4.0 release may change in possibly incompatible ways, thus as a
consequence, this release is *not* made available via maven central, see
download instructions below.
Commons Collections 4.0-alpha1 requires a minimum of Java 5 to build and
run. The package names and Maven artifactId and groupId (see below) have
been changed to avoid any conflicts with Collections 3.x.
Major changes since 3.2.1:
--------------------------
- Use of generics and other language features introduced in Java 5
(varargs, Iterable)
- Removed deprecated classes / methods and features which are now
supported by the JDK
- Replaced Buffer interface with java.util.Queue
- Added concept of split maps with respective interfaces Put / Get
(see also package splitmap)
- Added new Trie interface together with an implementation of a
Patricia Trie
- Changed package name to "org.apache.commons.collections4"
- Changed maven coordinates to "org.apache.commons.commons-
collections4"
A full list of changes compared to the previous release (v3.2.1) can be
found in the release notes (text and HTML version):
http://archive.apache.org/dist/commons/collections/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
http://commons.apache.org/collections/release_4_0.html
The release can be downloaded from the following page:
http://commons.apache.org/collections/download_collections.cgi
For complete information on Commons Collections 4, including
instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for
improvement, see the Commons Collections website:

Best regards,
Thomas, on behalf of the Apache Commons community

Hi Thomas,
thanks for the great work!
The side bar at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/ just
lists "Release Nots v4.0" and "JavaDoc v4.0". I think it would be better if
that were "Release Notes v4.0-alpha1" and "JavaDoc v4.0-alpha1"
