Release 1.14 – 2017-09-20

Add related projects page to website. jodastephen
Fixed parsing of verbose command line flag. Fixes #97. andreas-schilling

Release 1.4 – 2014-12-10

Type Changes By
Add ImmutablePreBuild annotation. This handles the case where a property needs to be defaulted from the value of another property. In most cases, ImmutableDefaults and/or ImmutableValidator are sufficient. Fixes #95. jodastephen
Generate serialization version id. If the class implements Serializable and there is no manual serialVersionUID, then one will be generated. Fixes #94. jodastephen
Support Optional properties in serialization. If an optional property is used, support it in serialization. This works for everything except collection types. Fixes #93. jodastephen
Support Optional return type for getters of nullable properties. Allows the instance variable of a property to remain nullable (as recommended for Java 8) but with the getter returning an Optional wrapper. Simply declare the PropertyDefinition with 'get="optional"'. Fixes #92. jodastephen
Avoid including derived properties in equals/hashCode. Fixes #91. jodastephen
Add support for protected scope getters and setters. Fixes #90. jodastephen

Release 1.3 – 2014-12-01

Type Changes By
Fix bean generation to handle a lack of spaces in field initializers. Fixes #87. jodastephen
Fix bean generation to handle a property of a wildcard list type. While the need for this is rare, better processing is needed. The fix requires use of the PropertyDefinition "type" attribute in certain cases. Fixes #88. jodastephen
The generated hash codes had a flaw and the algorithm has been changed. Previously, they used (h += h * 31 + value.hashCode). Now, they use (h = h * 31 + value.hashCode). The incorrect version failed to generate unique hash codes when a bean mostly contained null properties. This causes all beans to regenerate. Fixes #89. jodastephen
Add varargs overrides for collections in immutable builders. Fixes #85. jodastephen
Fix code generation of immutable package-scoped beans. Fixes #86. jodastephen

Release 1.2 – 2014-10-10

Add alias support to PropertyDefinition. A simple mechanism to handle property renames. Fixes #82. jodastephen
Fix parsing of class name with extends clause generics of type with two generic parameters. Fixes #81. jodastephen
Add option to allow property values to be defaulted on immutable beans. New annotation @ImmutableDefaults allows default values to be set. Fixes #80. jodastephen
Add option to allow hash codes to be cached. New attribute on @BeanDefinition allows caching of hash codes. Fixes #79. jodastephen

Release 1.1 – 2014-08-07

Type Changes By
Reduce scope of serialization helper classes. MsgPack, MsgPackInput, MsgPackOutput and JodaBeanXml. Backwards incompatible, but should not have been used. jodastephen
Add JSON round-trip serialization. Fixes #75. jodastephen
Use effective type exposed by Joda-Convert. Joda-Convert v1.7 exposes the effective type of the converted string. This can be more useful to use in serialization than the value type. For example, where a public interface has the `FromString` annotation and non-public subclass has the `ToString`. Fixes #76. jodastephen
Better documentation. Fixes #74. jodastephen
Fix to add @Override annotation on toBuilder(). Fixes #73. jodastephen

Release 1.0.2 – 2014-07-17

Type Changes By

Type Changes By
Update docs for v1.0. jodastephen
Provide @ImmutableValidator to allow immutable constructors to be manually validated. Fixes #65. jodastephen
Generate Javadoc param tags for generic types in meta/builder. Fixes #68. jodastephen
Add getter/setter style of "field". As all access is direct to the field, a weird getter/setter can be used. Fixes #67. jodastephen
Remove Bean.clone(). Clashes with generic union types. Immutable beans no longer generate a clone method. Use JodaBeanUtils.clone(bean) instead. Fixes #66. jodastephen
Block immutable beans from using EnumBiMap, EnumHashBiMap, HashBiMap, EnumMultiset, HashMultiset, LinkedHashMultiset, TreeMultiset, ArrayListMultimap, LinkedListMultimap, HashMultimap, LinkedHashMultimap, TreeMultimap, SortedSetMultimap SparseGrid, DenseGrid. Change Multimap interface to use ArrayListMultimap, not HashMultimap, because ImmutableMultimap is list based. Fixes #64. jodastephen

Invalid code generated for an abstract @ImmutableBean. Fixes #48. jodastephen
Guava MultiSet serialized incorrectly. Was serializing using the set size, not the unique elements size. Fixes #47. jodastephen

Release 0.9.3 – 2014-01-28

Type Changes By
Choose known types in serialization carefully. Reduce the set from v0.9.2 as that set of types was too large. Fixes #46. jodastephen

Type Changes By
Remove encodeClass/decodeClass from main serialization API. Fixes #44. jodastephen

BasicBeanBuilder get(String) returns builder rather than the requested data. Backwards incompatible, but the old code is useless so will never have been used. Fixes #42. jodastephen
Ensure XML reader property closed. Fixes #41. jodastephen
Handle type renames in deserialization. Fixes #40. jodastephen
Short types flag not being used in JodaBeanSer. Fixes #39. jodastephen

Recreate XMLInputFactory each time due to JDK bug JDK-8028111. Fixes #36. jodastephen
Fix to ensure nested class constructors are private if the type is final. May cause beans to regenerate. Fixes #35. jodastephen
Extend notNull validation to collection properties. May cause beans to regenerate. Fixes #34. jodastephen

Add 'equalIgnoring' utility to compare two beans ignoring one or more properties. Fixes #32. jodastephen

Release 0.8.6 – 2013-11-06
