v2.0.0

Breaking changes

The previous version of this library (1.0.2) has been released over 8 years ago, so there's a number of changes to adapt to the current ecosystem landscape:

• The library now requires JDK 17 for consumption, up from JDK 1.7 in the 1.x line
• Following non-core, auxiliary classes have been moved to a separate artifact (com.tguzik:valueclasses-legacy):
  • c.t.o.MultilineNoAddressStyle
  • c.t.t.Loader
  • c.t.t.Normalize
  • c.t.t.SettableHashCode
  • c.t.v.MutableValue
  • c.t.v.a.JaxbStringValueAdapter (continues to rely on the javax.xml.* namespace)
  • c.t.v.a.JaxbValueAdapter (continues to rely on the javax.xml.* namespace)
  • The functionality of these classes has been preserved, so applications relying on them can simply include the com.tguzik:valueclasses-legacy dependency
• The c.t.o.BaseObject class no longer exposes the MULTILINE_NO_ADDRESS_STYLE constant
• The commons-lang3 has been updated from version 3.9 to 3.20, which has changed the order of fields in output of the reflection-based c.t.o.BaseObject#toString()

Changes

• Significantly improved support for valueclasses backed by Java Records, which is now the preferred style. The changes include, but are not limited to:
  • Added interface c.t.t.HasStringValue that provides several convenience methods, and can be implemented by valueclasses backed both by Java Records and regular Java classes
  • The generic arguments in JaxB adapters have been relaxed to require implementing interface HasValue<> instead of inheriting from classes Value<> and/or StringValue, opening them up to be used with Java Records
• The library now uses JSpecify annotations to mark nullable arguments
• The com.tguzik:valueclasses-legacy artifact now offers JakartaJaxbValueAdapter<> that relies on the jakarta.xml.* namespace
• The footprint and the number of dependencies required to consume this library have been reduced
