[Dirk Verbeeck <di...@apache.org>]

of the Jakarta Commons Pool component.

Commons-Pool provides a generic object pooling interface, a toolkit for
creating modular object pools, and several general purpose pool
implementations.
More info: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/pool/

There were a lot changes since the 1.0.1 release on 12 Aug 2002.
    * A lot of corner cases were fixed.
    * Performance improvement by optimizing pool synchronization, the
      critical code paths were optimized by reducing pool synchronization
      but we also added more synchronization where needed.
    * New minIdle feature: the minimum number of objects allowed in the
      pool before the evictor thread (if active) spawns new objects.
      (Note no objects are created when: numActive + numIdle >= maxActive)
    * New maxTotal feature: a cap on the total number of instances
      controlled by a pool. Only for GenericKeyedObjectPool where
      maxActive is a cap on the number of active instances from the pool
      (per key).
    * UML Class & sequence diagrams.
    * This release contains bug fixes to all known issues.

The latest binary release is always available on the Jakarta Binary
Downloads page, its source is available from Jakarta Source Downloads
page.
