AO Encoding Changelog

ao-encoding-3.0.0

Release Notes

  • Minimum Java version changed from 1.7 to 1.8.
  • Reduced use of property substitutions in pom.xml. This is to help 3rd-party parsers that fail to perform full Maven-compatible substitutions.
  • Now outputting HTML or XHTML based on the current response content type. This should eliminate validator warnings when used as HTML.
  • ChainWriter no longer writes   as a placeholder for null values. This technique was used for ancient browsers that would not display completely empty table cells. This has not been the case for a long time.
  • JSON doesn't support comments, avoiding bundle lookup markups.
  • Consolidated writeWithMarkup(…) methods into Coercion class directly.
  • New static encoding methods for writing Object via Coercion.toString(Object).
  • Implemented Coercion.append(…) methods for working with Appendable.
  • ChainWriter will never wrap a PrintWriter with another PrintWriter, even when autoFlush settings do not match.
  • Added Coercion support for CharSequence.
  • Added Coercion support for char[].
  • Coercion now trims String and CharSequence based on code points, with a value considered whitespace when it is either <= '\u0020' (for compatibility with String.trim()) or Character.isWhitespace(int).
  • Avoiding unnecessary coercion to String when there is no active in-context translation.
  • ChainWriter.encodeHtml(…) (deprecated) now require additional isXhtml flag.
  • ChainWriter.writeHtmlImagePreloadJavaScript(…) moved to new ao-fluent-html project at ImagePreload.writeImagePreloadScript(…).
  • New enums for encoding context: Doctype and Serialization, which can be used to affect the encoding based on context.
  • JavaScript default type changed from text/javascript to application/javascript.
  • JavaScript encoder now uses context to determine both type and when to use CDATA.
  • EncodingContext is now optional, with default behaviors defined.

  • Renamed ChainWriter.encode*(Object) methods to ChainWriter.textIn*(Object).

    Also, all implementations add encoder prefixes and suffixes where appropriate, such as double quotes around text in JavaScript.

    Furthermore, all implementations perform translation markup.

  • New methods MediaWriter.text(…) for writing arbitrary textual data with automatic encoding. Supports encoder prefixes and suffixes as well as in-context translation.
  • Removed MediaException, using UnsupportedEncodingException instead.
  • Completely removed NewEncodingUtils.

ao-encoding-2.1.0

Release Notes

  • New method Coercion.trim(Object) that returns the provided value trimmed.
  • New method Coercion.trimNullIfEmpty(Object) that returns the provided value trimmed, or null if the value is empty after trimming.
  • Added application/javascript as an alias for text/javascript.

ao-encoding-2.0.0

Release Notes

  • Removed long-deprecated method ChainWriter.printEU(String).
  • Removed long-deprecated method ChainWriter.printHTMLColor(int).
  • Removed long-deprecated method ChainWriter.printImagePreloadJS(String).
  • During coercion, XML Node will be output as UTF-8.
  • EncodingContext.encodeURL(String) no longer throws UnsupportedEncodingException.
  • UrlValidator now validates the entire URL versus RFC 3986.

ao-encoding-1.8.0

Release Notes

  • Added variations of the javascript date and time printing in ChainWriter supporting dates and times represented by long and Long.
  • Updated for compatibility with aocode-public-3.1.0.

ao-encoding-1.7.1

Release Notes

  • Using managed dependencies:
    1. This project uses managed dependencies.
    2. This project's managed dependencies may also be imported by other projects.

ao-encoding-1.7.0

Release Notes

  • Minimum Java version changed from 1.6 to 1.7.
  • Implemented encodings for Bourne shell scripts, MySQL command line mysql, and PostgreSQL command line psql.

ao-encoding-1.6.0

Release Notes

  • Bug fixes:
    1. ChainWriter.encodeJavaScriptStringInXmlAttribute was not quoting empty JavaScript string on null value.
    2. ChainWriter.encodeJavaScriptStringInXhtml was not quoting empty JavaScript string on null value.
  • Improvements:
    1. ChainWriter.flush() and ChainWriter.close() now call underlying PrintWriter.checkError() to avoid accidentally swallowing exceptions. Because PrintWriter.checkError() causes a flush, it is only invoked on flush/close and not on every print/write.
  • Updated dependencies.
