  • v1.0.11

    April 08, 2020

  • v1.0.10

    March 01, 2018

    🚀 After long time (more than 2 years now), and many people asking for a new release, here we are.
    And here my apologies for the delay.

    👍 As you may know, I had serious health problems that kept me away from coding. Now my health is getting better, but I
    feel much slower in coding and using awesome tools like IntelliJ IDEA; in the meantime, my open source license has
    expired, so I hope the guys from JetBrains will be so nice to renew it :).

    🚀 Also, I always found the maven release process being cumbersome so that also kept me away from the effort.
    Now I took some time to simply it a little bit, and I kept some note for the future.

    🚀 In this release, a huge amount of work has been conducted by contributors, and I mostly did housekeeping with
    📚 refactoring, code review, enforcing quality standards, asking for documentation and tests, and integrating the great
    ideas coming from the users' community.

    🚀 I took back the project recently to upgrade it to have Java 9 support, and simplify release deployment, and only now
    🚀 that I am writing this release note, I realize how many things have been added and was waiting to be released.

    📚 Documentation is very important; I hadn't had the chance to keep all in sync, so many things here need to be
    🆓 documented. If you think you can help, feel free to help: this website is a sub-project
    owner-site, and uses Markdown language, which is very
    handy and quick to learn; the structure is quite easy to follow.
    💎 Jekyll is used as site generator, which is written in Ruby and can be tricky for a Java dev
    🆓 like me, but it works awesomely with github. So feel free to help there too.
    🏗 There is also an ant script which allows
    you to launch Jekyll and live-preview the end result of your edits.

    I don't feel very comfortable in making promises, but I'd really like to give back life to this project and, for the
    🚀 future, avoid such a long wait for a release.

    Please notice that at the moment I am not professionally working, I closed my consultancy company years back, and
    in this moment I am writing from a nice Coworking Space "ImpactHub" here in Torino.
    So, let me quickly say that donations are very welcome.
    Or if you want, you can hire me for some custom development on OWNER, training, or to help implementing your
    projects.
    This would definitely help keeping OWNER alive.

    Credits to ALL the contributors of OWNER, and to the end-users of this neat library.
    🚀 To you all it goes my gratitude for this release.

    Thank you!

    --Luigi.

    🚀 RELEASE NOTES

    🛠 OWNER v1.0.10 contains following enhancements and bug fixes.

    ✨ Enhancements

    • ➕ Added Java 9 support, dropped Java 6 support. All code and tests are running and built with Java 9, so you can use
      ✅ OWNER with the latest Java version. It was not trivial. If you want to use some specific feature like default
      methods in interfaces introduced in Java8, you still need to add owner-java8 dependency. I know... I didn't want to
      create a new sub-module for Java 9 and every newer versions, if it's not necessary.
    • ⚡️ Updated all dependencies (testing, and optional) and Maven plugins, in order to have it working with Java 9.
    • ➕ Added list() method to ConfigCache. ConfigCache is a great way to centralise configuration for various
      parts of an application. This commit adds a list() method to the ConfigCache class, which lists the keys for all
      🔧 configurations present in the cache. This allows the entire application configuration to be inspected (e.g. for
      debugging) without the need for storing cache keys elsewhere. Thanks
      📚 @kevin-canadian, who also was so nice to update the documentation on the
      website.
    • ➕ Added @EncryptedValue and @DecryptorClass annotations to allow hiding passwords stored in configuration
      👀 properties. See #49, thanks @rrialq
      📚 for the implementation and the awesome documentation.
    • ➕ Added a Java 8 duration converter class: DurationConverter.class in owner-java8-extras.jar .
      Thanks @StFS.
    • ➕ Added system properties and enviroment variable as sources: example @Sources({"system:properties", "system:env"}).
      👀 See #110. Thanks @gintau for the
      implementation and @kevin-canadian for the idea.
    • ➕ Added ByteSizeConverter and DurationConverter classes in owner-java8-extras jar, see
      #155. Thanks @StFS, also for providing
      📚 the necessary documentation and unit tests.
    • ➕ Added the ability to register default converters for types and classes defined by users.
      👀 See #184.
      Thanks @StFS.
    • ➕ Added inheritance support for @Sources, @LoadPolicy and @HotReload.
      🔀 Sources defined for all extended interfaces will be merged.
      LoadPolicy and HotReload can be inherited and override by the extended interface.
      Thanks chengmingwang.

    🐛 Bugs fixes

    • 👍 Replaced fixBackslashForRegex with better implementation. Thanks @kiefinger.
    • 👻 Have ConfigFactory throw an exception on imported Maps having either null keys or null values.
      👀 See #185, #184.
      Thanks @StFS.
    • ⚡️ Accept file URI containing spaces. Updated the uri processing to allow loading files that contain spaces in
      their paths.
      👀 See #134. Thanks @icirellik.
    • 👀 Maps with null values cause an unclear exception. See #184.
      Thanks @StFS.
    • 🏗 Set tar long file mode to posix in maven assembly plugin to avoid build errors.
      Thanks gdenning.

  • v1.0.5

    May 28, 2014

    🛠 v1.0.5 contains following enhancements and bug fixes.

    ✨ Enhancements

    📚 (See more in the documentation: XML support and see
    #5).

    • ➕ Added method registerLoader() to ConfigFactory, so the user can define new loaders for more file formats.

    👀 (See #55).

    • 👌 Support for classpath: URLs in HotReload. Also it works with the default files associated to the mapping
      interface, when @Sources is not specified.
    • ➕ Added method Set<String> propertyNames() in the Accessible interface.

    👀 (See #46).

    • ➕ Added Event support for property changes and reload.
      Both the events can now be transactional: the listener can be notified by an event before and after a property change
      ⏪ or a reload takes place. The listener can check what is changed and eventually rollback the reload or property change
      operation.

    📚 (See more in the documentation: Event support and see
    #47).

    • ➕ Added non-static ConfigFactory, so one can create independent instances of OWNER Factory objects.

    👀 (See #43).

    • ➕ Added implementation on hashCode() and equals().
    • ➕ Added serialization capability to OWNER Config objects, so now they can be transferred through the network or
      transformed to byte streams.

    👀 (See #54).

    • 👍 Allow @ConverterClass annotation to override default converters (i.e. primitive types, etc).
    • The interfaces Reloadable, Mutable and Accessible now extend from Config, so you don't need anymore to extend
      directly from Config. For instance, your interface can now extend just from Mutable to generate an object which is
      also a valid Config object that can be instantiated by the ConfigFactory:

    config-hierarchy

    Site Enhancements

    • 🏗 Website sources reorganized: moved from gh-pages branch to master, with publish ant scripts build.xml.
    • ➕ Added news section, with release announcements and blog posts.

    🐛 Bugs fixes

    • 🛠 Fixed bugs on tests that were making the build failing on Windows systems.
    • 🛠 Fixed bug #51, variables expansion, and path expansion not working
      properly with string containing the backslash characters '\'.

    Thanks NiXXeD.

    • 🛠 Fixed bug #42, regarding the incompatibility of the OWNER
      🔒 library with the Google App Engine security restrictions.

  • v1.0.5.1

    May 28, 2014
