JCLF RELEASE NOTES
                            ==================

Release 3.0 beta 2, August 2, 2008
----------------------------------

 This package consists of Java(tm) classes of general utility, which may be 
useful in several contexts. Unless otherwise specified, this software is 
provided under a BSD-style license (see the LICENSE.txt file).


Compatibility with previous release
-----------------------------------
 The new 3.0 series are a subset of previous JCLF series, made with the 
intention to make JCLF as small as possible. This means that several classes 
that were only used by internal projects and did not have real general usage 
were removed. Other classes were moved to other projects (like HTML4J) were 
they probably belong. And finally, the printf-formatting classes were put on 
their own package to allow splitting it out as a separate subproject.

 This means that JCLF 3.0 is NOT a drop-in replacement for previous versions, 
and integration with your current code may require some trivial changes.


Java(tm) Runtime Environment requirements
-----------------------------------------
 All the classes in the binary package have been compiled with a Java 5 
compiler, but many classes should work with prior versions of Java, 
though no attempt has been made to retain compatibility with older JRE.
