- 38894 [digester] ParserFeatureSetterFactory uses a wrong method…
- Simon Kitching has resolved a bug in Digester - well half resolved, the less useful, more painful half has been documented in the javadoc. It was one of those lovely issues when XML implementations clash.
- 38907 [dbutils] ScalarHandler subclasses that return Integers a…
- Greg Hawkes suggests an enhancement to DbUtils (Int and Long ScalarHandlers). There’s not a lot of maintenance going on in DbUtils at the moment - not much since February 2005, so I’m not sure when this would get looked at. It’s one I’d like to find time for, though I’d also like to investigate Brian McCallister’s JDBI API - get him to bring it to db.apache.org (he’s the chair) and fold Commons DbUtils into it.
- 38911 [lang] StringUtils#getLevenshteinDistance() performance i…
- This was cool. Cedrik Lime pointed out an unapplied patch from October 2003 - and now it’s applied.
- 38927 [io] Tests Fail on Windows 2000
- Few more comments on Niall’s Windows IO problems. Nothing to report though.
- 38929 [configuration] Support event listeners for configurations
- This was a new enhancement suggestion yesterday - and today there were some comments on the idea. All quite positive.
- 38944 [email] Please add Email.setReplyTo( java.util.Collection…
- dIon went ahead and added the missing method.

- 38953 [configuration] clone() implementation for all configurat…
- A request from the mailing list for configuration to have a systematic approach to cloning the various configuration classes. Sounds like it’ll happen.
Summary
Positive - except for the unlikelyness of any activity on the [dbutils] issue (and other ones in Bugzilla).
