Hot on the heels of the long-awaited and bountiful Stringtree 2.0.5 release comes a somewhat less momentous 2.0.6. I had tentatively planned to make the next release at the end of April 2007, but, as Jörn Zaefferer pointed out, I had forgotten something I had promised to do.
As an overall policy, all code in the Stringtree project and its subprojects should not depend on anything later than Java 1.4. Inadvertently, however, a dependency on a new interface (Iterable) introduced in Java 5 had crept into org.stringtree.json.JSONWriter.
It’s only a one-line change if you are using the source code, but this problem is is most significant for people who just wish to use Stringtree JSON “out of the box” with Java 1.4. So I have brought forward the 2.0.6 release to include it.
Also in this release is Jim Yingst’s improvement to the “bean” processing in JSONWriter which makes the code more usable with “partially public” objects (such as public inner classes).
Feel free to download the full Stringtree jar, the Stringtree source code, or the lean and mean Stringtree JSON jar.
