v0.1.7

What's Changed

Module microsphere-java-core

• [Features] Extended the Version class to support pre-release versions (e.g., 1.2.3-alpha), including new fields, parsing logic, comparison, and string representation. This brings the implementation closer to full semantic versioning support. Improved the compareTo and equality logic to handle pre-release versions and added a dedicated comparePreRelease helper. Refined version operator logic (EQ, LT, LE, GT, GE) to be null-safe and leverage the enhanced comparison logic.

• [Testing] Added a new test class VersionOperatorTest to verify the correctness of version operator logic, including edge cases with nulls and invalid symbols.

• [Documentation] Updated JavaDoc and example usages across several classes to use standard generic syntax (<E>, <String>) instead of escaped HTML entities.

• [Documentation] Enhanced the Version class documentation to clearly specify supported version patterns and reference semantic versioning.

• [Dependency] Bump org.springframework:spring-framework-bom from 6.2.11 to 6.2.12 #206

• [Dependency] Bump ch.qos.logback:logback-classic from 1.2.13 to 1.5.20 #207

• [Dependency] Bump junit-jupiter.version from 5.13.4 to 6.0.1 #208

Documentation

• Major rewrite and expansion of README.md: Adds a comprehensive introduction, feature list, module descriptions, getting started instructions (including Maven usage), code examples, build instructions, contribution guidelines, and links to documentation resources. This greatly improves the onboarding experience for new users and contributors.

v0.1.6

What's Changed

Enhancement

Module microsphere-java-core

• [Features] Added a new utility method toStringArray(Collection<String>) to StringUtils to convert collections to string arrays safely, with null and empty handling.

• [Bugfix] Fixed substring calculation in URLUtils.findSubProtocolsString to correctly extract subprotocols.

• [Reactor] Refactored the split methods in StringUtils to handle null and empty delimiters more robustly, improved signature annotations, and replaced the use of StringTokenizer with custom logic for better consistency and predictability. Also added comprehensive Javadoc examples.

• [Reactor] Improved import statements and static import usage for clarity and consistency in several test files.

• [Reactor] Updated annotation usage in TestAnnotation.java to use static imports for clarity and brevity.

• [JavaDoc] Updated Javadoc in ClassPathUtils to fix formatting of example usage.

• [Testing] Expanded and updated tests in StringUtilsTest to cover new and edge cases for the split and toStringArray methods, ensuring correctness and compatibility with Spring's implementation.

• [Testing] Improved test logic in FileUtilsTest by refactoring exception handling into a separate method and ensuring proper executor shutdown and waiting, increasing reliability of concurrent tests.

• [Testing] Made small test assertion changes and removed unnecessary checks in ClassDataRepositoryTest.

Project Policy and Build Updates

• Added a contributor code of conduct to the project, outlining expected behavior and reporting mechanisms.

• Updated the Maven build workflow to include Java 25 in the test matrix. (.github/workflows/maven-build.yml)

v0.1.5

What's Changed

Enhancement

Module microsphere-java-core

• [JSON] Added a comprehensive escape method in JSONUtils to properly escape JSON strings, including control characters and special Unicode characters (\u2028, \u2029), and updated all relevant usages to use this method for safer JSON output. [1] [2] [3]
• [JSON] Removed unused logger imports and related code from JSONUtils for simplification. [1] [2] [3]
• [Collection] Improved the addAll method in CollectionUtils by renaming parameters for clarity and adding a new overload that supports adding all elements from an Iterable, not just arrays. [1] [2]
• [Collection] Added a new ArrayStack class, a non-thread-safe stack implementation based on ArrayList, providing standard stack operations (push, pop, peek, empty, and search).
• [Reflection] Added new static imports and constants to MethodUtils, including a new property name for banning methods via system properties, and improved documentation and usage examples for this feature. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Module microsphere-annotation-processor

• [Metadata] Enhanced the description resolution in ConfigurationPropertyJSONElementVisitor to fall back to the JavaDoc comment if the annotation's description attribute is blank. [1] [2] [3]
• [Metadata] Added MethodUtils to the test classpath for annotation processor tests. [1] [2]

Full Changelog: 0.1.4...0.1.5

v0.1.4

What's Changed

Enhancement

Module microsphere-java-core

• [Metadata] Renamed ConfigurationPropertyJSONGenerator to ConfigurationPropertyGenerator
• [Metadata] a new BeanMetadata class to encapsulate Java Bean metadata, and adding a configurable cache for BeanMetadata in BeanUtils.
• [Metadata] Added a new BeanMetadata class to encapsulate Java Bean metadata, including property descriptors and bean class information, with utility methods for access and introspection. This provides a reusable and immutable representation of bean structure.
• [Metadata] Renamed DEFAULT_BEAN_PROPERTIES_MAX_RESOLVED_LEVELS to DEFAULT_BEAN_PROPERTIES_MAX_RESOLVED_DEPTH for clarity and consistency in configuration property naming.
• [Beans] Enhanced BeanUtils with a configurable cache for BeanMetadata instances, including new constants for cache size and property names, and a concurrent map for caching. This improves performance when repeatedly accessing bean metadata.

Module microsphere-annotation-processor

• [JSON] Renamed all references of ConfigurationPropertyJSONGenerator to ConfigurationPropertyGenerator in ConfigurationPropertyAnnotationProcessor and ConfigurationPropertyJSONElementVisitor, including imports, field names, comments, and method calls.
