JGoodies Validation
Version 2.0.0
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
Since version 2.0 the JGoodies Validation uses and requires Java 5.
It uses the enhanced for loop, enums, and annotations; classes and
methods have been generified where useful. This version is binary
incompatible with previous versions.
Also, the old Validator interface has been renamed to Validatable,
it describes objects that can validate themselves. A new Validator
describes objects that can validate other objects. Validator uses
the following signature:
ValidationResult validate(T validationTarget).
OTHER CHANGES
o Updated the Binding version used for the tutorial to 2.0.0.
o The tutorial now uses the SwingWorker backport for Java 5.
o The tutorial demonstrates the Validatable and Validator interfaces.
o Source cleanup: marked fields as final, removed trailing blanks.
o Fixed JavaDoc typos.

JGoodies Validation
Version 1.4.0
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This release includes binary incompatible changes. Components
can now be associated with multiple validation message keys.

"validation.messageKey" to "validation.messageKeys".
OTHER CHANGES
o Added ValidationMessageKeysExample to demonstrate the new feature.

JGoodies Validation
Version 1.2
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This release removes the deprecated ValidationCapable interface,
introduces a few new ValidationUtils, and comes with slightly
improved JavaDocs. The FAQ has been extended and is now online.
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY
o The deprecated ValidationCapable interface has been removed.
Use the Validator interface instead.
NEW FEATURES
To make it easier to switch between the ValidationUtils
and the Jakarta Commons Lang StringUtils I've added:
ValidationUtils#isNotBlank, #isNotEmpty, #isAlpha,
#isAlphaSpace, #isAlphanumeric, #isAlphanumericSpace,
#isNumeric, #isNumericSpace.
OTHER CHANGES
o ValidationUtils#isDigit, #isLetter, and #isLetterOrDigit
have been marked as deprecated. These methods have been
replaced by #isNumeric, #isAlpha, #isAlphanumeric.
The deprecated methods will be removed in version 1.3.
o Improved implementation of ValidationUtils#isBlank.
o Added tests for the ValidationUtils methods.
o Added missing package documentations.
o Added a few tutorial JavaDocs.

JGoodies Validation
Version 1.1.1
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This release fixes a minor bug and brings new tutorial examples.
The PerformanceExample demonstrates different approaches
to reducing the validation frequency, costs, and GUI locks;
see the package com.jgoodies.validation.tutorial.performance.
The SimpleDomainValidationExample "copies" the domain values
to the GUI, where the other examples use the JGoodies Binding
to synchronize the domain with the GUI state. Also, this
example presents validation errors and warnings in a dialog.
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY
o The ValidationResult methods #add and #addAll now ensure
that the message severity is WARNING, or ERROR, not OK.
This constraint is already ensured by all subclasses
of AbstractValidationMessages, but it can be violated
by other implementors of the ValidationMessage interface.
BUGS FIXED
o Issue 15: ValidationComponentUtils shall observe L&f changes.
OTHER CHANGES
o Updated the tutorial's Binding library to version 1.1.1.
o The ANT build can create a Maven bundle.
o RelativeDateFormatter initializes the default bundle lazily.
o Corrected the JavaDocs for ValidationMessage#severity and
ValidationResult#getSeverity.
o Added tutorial examples for handling slow validation operations.

JGoodies Validation
Version 1.1
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This maintenance release is primarily an API cleanup that
contains binary incompatible changes to version 1.0.
The ValidationCapable interface has been renamed to Validator.
For backward compatibility the now deprecated ValidationCapable
is still available as an extension of the Validator interface.
It is recommended to move your code over to Validator,
because ValidationCapable will be removed in version 1.2.
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY
o Renamed ValidationCapable to Validator.
o Moved ValidationResultModel to com.jgoodies.validation.
o AbstractValidationMessage#setKey, severity and #text() final.
o PropertyValidationMessage marked as final.
o SimpleValidationMessage marked as final.
o Removed DefaultValidationResultModel#setValidationResult0.
o Removed the deprecated ValidationComponentUtils method
#updateComponentTreeValidationBackground that has been replaced
by #updateComponentTreeSeverityBackground in 1.0.2.
BUGS FIXED
o Issue 11: Component background updates broken.
o Issue 14: ValidationResultListAdapter events broken.
NEW FEATURES
o ValidationResults can be turned into unmodifiable versions
using ValidationResult#unmodifiableResult(ValidationResult).
This is useful to ensure that results that are intended
to be unmodifiable reject further modifications.
DISTRIBUTION CHANGES
o The sources no longer ship as a source Zip archive.
They now come in the directory structure used by the CVS.
This makes it easier to build the distribution using ANT.
If you want to attach the library sources in an IDE,
point to folder 'src/core'.
o Updated the tutorial's Binding library to version 1.1.

JGoodies Validation, Version 1.0.3
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This maintenance release contains primarily a performance improvement.
It can reduce unnecessary change notifications for the "result"
property in ValidationResultModels when changing the validation result.
This is achieved by overriding #equals in classes ValidationResult,
SimpleValidationResult and PropertyValidationResult.
Implementors of ValidationMessage are encouraged to override
#equals and #hashCode in their implementations.
CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY
o SimpleValidationMessage constructors reject null texts.
o ValidationResult#keyMap returns an unmodifiable Map.
NEW FEATURES
o Issue 13: ValidationResult#equals and #hashCode.
o PropertyValidationMessage#equals and #hashCode.
o SimpleValidationMessage#equals and #hashCode.
This prevents the AbstractValidationResultModel
from firing unnecessary property change events for
the "result" property when changing the validation result.
See also #firePropertyChanges(ValidationResult, ValidationResult).
OTHER CHANGES
o Added tests for the new equality checks.
o Updated the tutorial's Binding version to 1.0.3.

JGoodies Validation, Version 1.0.2
Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
This release primarily fixes bugs in the IconFeedbackPanel
and the ValidationComponentUtils. It also clarifies semantics
of the ValidationComponentUtils#updateComponentTreeXXX methods.
BUGS FIXED
o Issue 8: IconFeedbackPanel: misplaced overlay icons.
o Issue 11: Component background updates broken.
NEW FEATURES
o SimpleValidationMessage(String, Severity, Object)
o ValidationComponentUtils#getErrorBackground()
o ValidationComponentUtils#getWarningBackground()
o ValidationComponentUtils#updateComponentTreeSeverityBackground()
This new method shows a background consistent with the
severity annotations presented by the IconFeedbackPanel
making it easier to switch between both visualizations.
In contrast the "old" #updateComponentTreeValidationBackground
checks for mandatory blank fields first. If a blank mandatory
value is a warning or error in your validator, the presentation
is inconsistent with the validation result.
If you don't mark components as mandatory using #setMandatory,
you won't notice a difference between both methods.
I consider removing this method in a future version and
have marked it as deprecated.
OTHER CHANGES
o Added tests for the ValidationComponentUtils.
o Fixed and improved a couple of JavaDocs.
o The ComponentFeedbackExample now shows the initial
validation state. A comment in the source explains
how to suppress the initial warnings and errors.
o The ComponentFeedbackExample uses the new method
ValidationComponentUtils#updateComponentTreeSeverityBackground().

CHANGES THAT AFFECT THE COMPATIBILITY

o Issue 9: ValidationViewUtils#restoreBackground ignores
editable and enabled state.
o Issue 10: ValidationViewUtils visits too much text components.
OTHER CHANGES

o Improved IconFeedbackPanel JavaDocs to clarify issue #6.
o Updated the Binding library used in the validation tutorial.
o Set 'build.compile.source' and 'build.compile.target' to '1.4'
in the default.properties; build.xml honors the source setting.

+ ensured consistent modifier order,
+ fixed JavaDoc tags.
