AO Encoding Changelog

ao-encoding-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

Minimum Java version changed from 1.7 to 1.8.
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 <= ' ' (for compatibility with String.trim()) or Character.isWhitespace(int).
Avoiding unnecessary coercion to String when there is no active in-context translation.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
