The upgradeto240.xml Java example source code<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <document> <properties> <title>Java date and time API - Upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 <author>Stephen Colebourne </properties> <body> <section name="Upgrade"> <p> These are the release notes and advice for upgrading Joda-Time from version 2.3 to version 2.4. <source> Joda-Time version 2.4 --------------------- Joda-Time is a date and time handling library that seeks to replace the JDK Date and Calendar classes. This release contains enhancements, bug fixes and a time zone update. The release runs on JDK 5 or later. Joda-Time is licensed under the business-friendly Apache License Version 2. This is the same license as all of Apache, plus other open source projects such as Spring. The intent is to make the code available to the Java community with the minimum of restrictions. If the license causes you problems please contact the mailing list. ** Please also check out our related projects ** ** http://www.joda.org/joda-time/related.html ** Enhancements since 2.3 ---------------------- - Duration.multipliedBy(), .dividedBy(), .negated() Additional methods on Duration - LocalDate.hashCode() Remove unnecessary volatile on instance variable [#68] LocalDate hash code meets criteria of the racy single-check idiom - DateTimeParserBucket Allow bucket to be re-used on a single thread [#111] Potential for performance improvements due to lower garbage churn Improvement only of interest to applications willing to write specialist code - Support CharSequence throughout parsing Ensure that CharSequence can be used in parsing [#111] This can only be accessed by creating a mutable DateTimeParserBucket The bucket is a low-level construct for advanced use cases Potential for performance improvements due to lower garbage churn No API change - Support Appendable throughout printing Ensure that Appendable can be used efficiently in printing [#120, #121, #122] No API change - Increased performance of chronology lookup [#126,#105] No API change - Increased performance of formatter lookup [#127,#129] No API change - Increased performance of symbols lookup [#143] No API change Compatibility with 2.3 ---------------------- Build system - Yes Binary compatible - Yes Source compatible - Yes Serialization compatible - Yes Data compatible - Yes, except - DateTimeZone data updated to version 2014e Semantic compatible - Yes, except - DateTimeField duration fields have been fixed For example, yearOfEra() now has a range of eras() rather than null The DurationField instances now compare using equals() correctly - MutableDateTime.add(DateTimeFieldType,int), addDays(int) and friends [#77] Adding zero will no longer change the offset during DST overlap in autumn/fall Deprecations since 2.3 ---------------------- Bug fixes since 2.3 ------------------- - DateTimeField.getDurationField() / DateTimeField.getRangeDurationField() [#92,#93,#95] Previously some of the complex cases were wrong, notably around centuries and eras For example, yearOfEra() returned a range of null when it should be eras() A slew of tests were added and a variety of bugs fixed This affects DateTimeField.getDurationField() and DateTimeField.getRangeDurationField() - Fixed another edge case in conversion from Local to UTC [#76] The DateTimeZone.getOffsetFromLocal() method was fixed to handle the last cutover in DST history correctly. - Period construction during DST overlap [#156] When creating a period, if one end is within a DST overlap and one beyond the overlap then the calculated period was incorrect. The calculation has been changed no ensure no extra hour is added. - DateTimeUtils.isContiguous(ReadablePartial) [#89] The isContiguous() method could throw a NullPointerException when evaluating weird partials - Period.normalizedStandard(PeriodType) [#79] Fix handling of PeriodType when either years or months missing - Partial.with(DateTimeFieldType,int) [#88] Validation in this method was not as thorough as that in the constructor This allowed invalid partials to be created - MutableDateTime.add(DateTimeFieldType,int), addDays(int) and friends [#77] Adding zero to a MutableDateTime used to change the offset during DST overlap in autumn/fall This is now fixed to not change the offset - DateTime/MutableDateTime constructors taking millis now validate [#100] Previously, new DateTime(Long.MAX_VALUE) would be accepted, now it will be rejected This ensures that the maximum/minimum year are respected - Ensure isLeap() returns correct result for day fields [#110] Day-of-month and day-of-year fields should report leap days - Insist that year > weekyear when creating Partial [#96,#98] As these compare equal code previously allowed either order - Handle weird TimeZone implementations with null ID [#133] Calling DateTimeZone.forTimeZone() would break if the ID was null - Handle broken Android implementations better [#103] Apparently some Android implementations throw ClassCastException when comparing different types Thats dumb and wrong but the change to handle it is harmless - Better concurrency in parsing [#101] - Better Javadoc for parsing of numbers in format patterns [#60] - Remove uncaughtException calls [#59] Previously the code called ThreadGroup.uncaughtException() which was invalid - Fix Javadoc for ReadableDuration [#137] - Fix the links to the IANA time zone database [#83] - Better Javadoc for thread saefty of DateTimeUtils [#67] - Better Javadoc for DateTimeComparator [#73] - Better Javadoc for DateTimeFormatter parsing [#78] - Better Javadoc for DateTimeFormat fraction of second [#62] - Better Javadoc for DateTime toString and parse [#142] - Better Javadoc for formatters that only parse [#97] Scala -------- Joda-Time uses annotations from Joda-Convert. In the Java programming language, this dependency is optional, however in Scala it is not. Scala users must manually add the Joda-Convert v1.2 dependency. </source> </p> </section> </body> </document> Other Java examples (source code examples)Here is a short list of links related to this Java upgradeto240.xml source code file: |
