[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Apache Commons DBCP 2.2.0

[Gary Gregory <gg...@apache.org>]

The Apache Commons DBCP team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Apache Commons DBCP 2.2.0.

Apache Commons DBCP software implements Database Connection Pooling.

This is a minor release, including bug fixes and enhancements.

Changes in this version include:

New features:
o DBCP-451:  Add constructor DriverManagerConnectionFactory(String).
o DBCP-462:  Refactoring to prepare for a future patch to enable pooling of
all
             prepared and callable statements in PoolingConnection. Thanks
to Keiichi Fujino.
o DBCP-458:  Make it simpler to extend BasicDataSource to allow sub-classes
to
             provide custom GenericObjectPool implementations. Thanks to
Adrian Tarau.
o DBCP-474:  Enable pooling of all prepared and callable statements
             inPoolingConnection. Thanks to Keiichi Fujino.

Fixed Bugs:
o DBCP-481:  Update Apache Commons Pool from 2.4.2 to 2.5.0. Thanks to Gary
Gregory.
o DBCP-454:  OSGi declarations contain multiple import headers for
javax.transaction. Thanks to Philipp Marx, Matt Sicker.
o DBCP-478:  Wrong parameter name in site documentation for BasicDataSource
Configuration Parameters. Thanks to nicola mele.
o DBCP-452:  Add jmxName to properties set by BasicDataSourceFactory.  This
             enables container-managed pools created from JNDI Resource
             definitions to enable JMX by supplying a valid root JMX name.
o DBCP-446:  NullPointerException thrown when calling
ManagedConnection.isClosed(). Thanks to Gary Gregory, feng yang, Euclides
M, Phil Steitz.
o DBCP-444:  InvalidateConnection can result in closed connection returned
by getConnection.
o DBCP-449:  Complete the fix for DBCP-418, enabling PoolableConnection
class to load in environments
             (such as GAE) where the JMX ManagementFactory is not
available. Thanks to Grzegorz D.
o DBCP-455:  Ensure that the cacheState setting is used when statement
pooling is
             disabled. Thanks to Kyohei Nakamura.
o DBCP-453:  Ensure that setSoftMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis is used when
working with
             BasicDataSource. Thanks to Philipp Marx.
o DBCP-456:  Correct the name of the configuration attribute
             softMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis. Thanks to Kyohei Nakamura.
o DBCP-472:  Avoid potential infinite loops when checking if an
SQLException is fatal
             for a connection or not.
o DBCP-468:  Expand the fail-fast for fatal connection errors feature to
include
             managed connections.
o DBCP-463:  Correct a typo in the method name
             PoolableConnectionFactory#setMaxOpenPreparedStatements. The
old method
             remains but is deprecated so not to break clients currently
using the
             incorrect name.
o DBCP-459:  Ensure that a thread's interrupt status is visible to the
caller if the
             thread is interrupted during a call to
             PoolingDataSource.getConnection().
o DBCP-457:  When using a BasicDataSource, pass changes related to the
handling of
             abandoned connections to the underlying pool so that the pool
             configuration may be updated dynamically.
