Release History

Version Date Description
3.11.1 2024-06-07 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 8 or later is required.
3.11.0 2024-05-28 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 8 or later is required.
3.10.0 2023-10-01 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 8 or later is required.
3.9.0 2022-11-26 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 8 or later is required.
3.8.0 2021-02-13 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 7 or later is required.
3.7.2 2020-10-14 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 7 or later is required.
3.7.1 2020-09-30 This is a feature and maintenance release. Java 7 or later is required.
3.7 2020-08-05 This is mainly a bug-fix release (Java 7 or above). See further details below. This release requires a minimum of Java 7. This release is binary compatible with previous releases. However it is not source compatible with releases before 3.4, as some methods were added to the interface NtpV3Packet in 3.4 Note that the examples packages were moved under org/apache/commons/net/examples. The examples are not part of the public API, so this does not affect compatibility.
3.6 2017-02-15 This is mainly a bug-fix release (Java 6 or above). See further details below. This release is binary compatible with previous releases. However it is not source compatible with releases before 3.4, as some methods were added to the interface NtpV3Packet in 3.4 The code now requires a minimum of Java 6. Changes to functionality: * The FTP client now performs stricter checks on non-multiline command replies. The 3 digit code must now be followed by a space and some text, as per RFC 959. To suppress this stricter checking, call FTP#setStrictReplyParsing(false). This should not be needed with a well-behaved server. Note also that if strict checking is disabled, some functions may unconditionally strip the next character after the code, without checking it if is a space. * The FTP client mlistFile() method now checks for a leading space before removing it. If the space is missing, a MalformedServerReplyException is thrown. This will only happen if the FTP server is not compliant with RFC 3659. Notable additions: * The POP3Mail examples can now get password from console, stdin or an environment variable. * TFTPClient code has been rewritten to improve error handling and retries.
3.5 2016-05-05 This is mainly a bug-fix release (Java 6 or above). See further details below. This release is binary compatible with previous releases. However it is not source compatible with releases before 3.4, as some methods were added to the interface NtpV3Packet in 3.4 The code now requires a minimum of Java 6. Notable additions: The IMAP examples can now get password from console, stdin or an environment variable.
3.4 2015-11-26 This is mainly a bug-fix release. See further details below. This release is binary compatible with previous releases. However it is not source compatible, as some methods have been added to the interface NtpV3Packet Notable additions: IMAPExportMbox (example app) allows IMAP folders to be exported into an mbox file. This is the inverse of the IMAPImportMbox example added previously
3.3 2013-06-11 This is mainly a bug-fix release. See further details below.
3.2 2012-12-03 This release fixes bugs and adds some new functionality (see below). It is binary compatible with previous releases. Note that Clirr shows that two public methods have been removed (NET-485). These are not used within NET.
3.1 Feb 20, 2012 This release fixes a few bugs and adds some new functionality (see below). It is binary compatible with previous releases
3.0.1 June 6, 2011 This is a bug-fix release.
3.0 May 16, 2011 This release fixes many bugs (see below), and adds new functionality: - basic support for IMAP and IMAPS - support for SMTPS and POP3S FTP changes: - default for lenient future dates is now true, which fixes short date parsing where host clock is ahead of client clock - no longer parses every response line twice - OS auto-detection can be overriden by defining the property 'org.apache.commons.net.ftp.systemType'; - or by creating a properties file '/systemType.properties' which provides a mapping from getSystemType() to parser name See the Javadoc for FTPClient.initiateListParsing(String parserKey, String pathname). - SASL, PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentication added - added control channel keep-alive for use with misbehaving routers, see FTPClient.setControlKeepAliveTimeout(long controlIdle) NNTP changes: - reworked to use long for article numbers - added streaming equivalents for the array methods Added TrustManagerUtils and KeyManagerUtils classes to simplify setting up trust and key namagers. KeyManagerUtils can be used to provide client certificates. This release is binary-compatible with 2.2, but there are some minor changes to source compatibility: - telnet.TelnetClient#addOptionHandler(TelnetOptionHandler) now additionally throws IOException - telnet.TelnetClient#deleteOptionHandler() now additionally throws IOException - ftp.FTPSClient ctors no longer throw NoSuchAlgorithmException - Redundant CODE_nnn definitions have been removed from FTPReply, SMTPReply and NNTPReply classes - Unused String constants KEYSTORE_ALGORITHM, PROVIDER, STORE_TYPE, TRUSTSTORE_ALGORITHM removed from FTPSClient All users are recommended to upgrade.
2.2 Nov 22, 2010 This is primarily a maintenance release, but it also includes new features and enhancements. Users of version 2.0 are encouraged to upgrade to 2.2, as this release includes some important bug fixes.

Release 1.1.0 – October 23, 2003

Type Changes By
Add Rory Winston Rory.Winston@telewest.co.uk provided patches to add the following extended NNTP commands to NNTPClient: XOVER, AUTHINFO USER, AUTHINFO PASS, and LIST ACTIVE. dfs
Fix Changed connection hooks for FTP, SMTP, POP3, and NNTP classes to force use of an 8-bit US-ASCII superset (ISO-8859-1) for protocol communication. This was necessary because InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter use the default client-side character set encoding. fasselin@ca.ibm.com reported failure of SMTP on OS/390 which has EBCDIC as the native character set. dfs
Fix Applied variation of fix suggested by Matthieu Recouly matthieu.recouly@laposte.net so that UnixFTPEntryParser may handle listings of the form: "drwxr-xr-x 1 usernameftp 512 Jan 29 23:32 prog" where the space between user name and group is omitted. dfs
Fix Applied patch from Stephane Este-Gracias sestegra@free.fr that fixes the parsing of VMS listings by VMSFTPEntryParser.. dfs
Fix If the buffer queue run full, the run() method sometimes hangs forever. Changed wait() to wait(100) as with other changes in TelnetInputStream. Fix submitted From: J. Matysiak ( j.matysiak@cenit.de ). brekke
Fix FTP.smnt(String dir) was not passing on the dir to the SMNT command as an argument. brekke
Add Added a link to the FAQ currently hosted on the Apache Wiki. brekke
Update Changed package private NNTP._reader and NNTP._writer member variables to protected NNTP._reader_ and NNTP._writer_ variables as suggested by issue report 16995 to facilitate extending NNTPClient functionality in subclasses. dfs
Update Changed name of FTPClient.__openDataConnection() to FTPClient._openDataConnection_() to remain consistent with the convention in the code that protected members are of the form _foo_. At some point __openDataConnection() had been changed from private to protected. dfs
Add Added terminal option support to the telnet client with tests. From Bruno D'Avanzo ( b.davanzo@inwind.it ). brekke
Add New parsers merged with mainline with support for old list parsers. scohen

Add Various site updates including this changes doc and publish date information. brekke
Fix Patch for restarting FTP file transfers. The offset was not being sent immediately before the data transfer command on account.

From: Tapan Karecha ( tapan@india.hp.com ). dfs
Fix Applied a fix for potential deadlock in TelnetInputStream by changing a wait() to a wait(100). From: Tapan Karecha ( tapan@india.hp.com ). dfs
