RELEASE NOTES for JYaml 1.3:
Summary: |
Still maintaining.
Bugs closed:
- Encoder now puts quotes around asterisk (*)and ampersand(&)
- fix for escaping of quotes (")
- opened up the scope of fields in Wrapper class to protected
- Fixed unescaping: only escaped characters inside double quoted strings are unescaped during parser
- Fixed weird bug due to unhandled \r\n for dos style line breaks in the parser
- Fixed bug where extra invalid content after a valid YAML document is ignored, this was very confusing because invalid documents were parsered successfully with unexpected results.

A Maven2 Repository has been set up for JYaml due to popular demand. I have also put in a request to mirror it in the offical Maven Repository.

Maintenance release. Fixes the loading of jyaml.yml config file.

RELEASE NOTES for JYaml 1.0:
Summary: |
This is a maintenance release. I have resolved the bugs/features/patches as listed
below by various contributers. I am sorry to all of you for neglecting this project for
almost a year, and letting the list of bugs pile up. Now that I am more familar with
the sourceforge bug tracker I will keep maintain it better in the future. In addition,
I have re-architected the structure of JYaml a bit, introducing the notion of Wrappers,
allowing easy plugins to be written to handle YAML-ization of custom Java objects. You can
now write a wrappers and then simply specify them in the config file and they will be loaded
as needed. Another highlight is the addition of I18N support. Large file support is
now better, although I am not sure it works for all cases.... read more

Java 1.4 support has been tested using Retrotranslator. I've compiled a 1.4
version of the Jyaml library and you need to include the Retrotranslator jars
(retrotranslator-runtime-n.n.n.jar, and backport-util-concurrent.jar) with your
runtime to use it. Go to http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/ to get them.
Known Issues:
- non-ascii charactors : Jyaml does not yet support these
