1.0.11

- BitVectors.readFast()/BitVectors.writeFast() now use more liberal interfaces.

- Equality in AbstractBitVector is computed quickly word by word, and not
  scanning bit by bit (ouch!).

- The testForPosition boolean flag in InputBitStream and OutputBitStream
  constructors now just inhibits just the very slow reflective test for
  the existence of a getChannel() method. Conformance to the
  RepositionableStream interface is always checked (requested by Bryan
  Thompson).

- {Input,Output}BitStream.close() was throwing a null pointer exception in
  certain cases (thanks to Bryan Thompson for finding and fixing this bug).

- CanonicalFast64CodeWordDecoder now works with 0 or 1 symbols (thanks to
  Bryan Thompson for letting me notice this problem).

- IntBloomFilter was initialising incorrectly the field m (thanks to David
  Greenspan for finding and fixing this bug).

- NullOutputStream is now a RepositionableSteam. In this way, the creation
  of an OutputBitStream wrapping a NullOutputStream is much quicker.

- Fixed integer overflow bugs in LongArrayBitVector.wrap() and elsewhere.

1.0.10

- Fixed return type of writeLongZeta to int.

- New DelimitedWordReader class for tokenising streams by
  delimiters (rather than by word constituents).

- Fixed a small bug in ObjectParser: string arguments were
  trimmed even if delimited by quotes.

- ObjectParser will now accept null contexts.

- FastBufferedReader/DelimitedWordReader have toString()/toSpec()
  methods.

- New MutableString.skipSelfDelimUTF8() method.

1.0.9

- New ByteBufferInputStream.map() method that will map any file into a
  memory-mapped array of ByteBuffers and expose them as a measurable,
  repositionable InputStream. Very useful to work around the 2GiB limit
  of FileChannel.map().

- HuTuckerCodec can now get frequencies as a vector of longs.
  HuTuckerTransformationStrategy uses the new constructor.

- Code in replace() and clear() methods was not using the fact
  that unused parts of a LongArrayBitVector are maintained
  clear. This caused a significant slowdown when replacing
  or clearing vectors with a large backing array.

- New OfflineIterable class that makes it possible to dump and
  reread quickly temporary data.

1.0.8

- InputBitStream and OutputBitStream have new constructors that make it
  possible to skip the reflective test that are necessary to support
  position(). This feature was requested by Bryan Thompson, who had to
  create often a large number of bit streams. Additionally, there is a
  constructor accepting a file input/output stream that invokes
  getChannel() without using reflection.

- New Util.getDebugLogger() method for getting more detailed
  debugging programmatically (e.g., when testing). More generally,
  now it is possible to configure the log level when autoconfiguring
  Log4J.

- BitVector.hashCode() has been finally nailed down and documented. The
  chosen function seems to be reasonable and quick. Sorry if some
  serialised classes out there depended on it...

- Fixed old bug in ImmutableBinaryTrie: a root with a non-empty
  compacted path would have returned an incorrect approximated
  interval on prefixes of that path. Thanks to Peni Nissani for
  finding this bug.

- Slight impromevent to Fast.select(), which was using a few redundant
  instruction when doing broadword comparisons.

1.0.7

- Fixed obnoxious bug in LongArrayBitVector.replace(BitVector). In
  some cases bit vectors with garbage after length could have been
  generated.

- Fixed bug in LongArrayBitVector.longestCommonPrefixLength(). When
  comparing a string to one of its prefix the returned length was
  sometimes incorrect.

- New methods BitVector.firstZero/BitVector.lastZero() with
  fast implementations.

- New methods in BitVectors that dump on disk and expose
  as an iterable object the bit vectors returned by an iteartor.

1.0.6

- New transformation strategy that remaps bit vectors so that they
  are prefix free.

- Fixed a horrendous bug: AbstractBitVector was implementing equals(),
  but not hashCode(). This fact was causing a number of problems with
  collections. Since I had to fix it anyway, I built in a better
  hash function, too.

1.0.5

- WARNING: ObjectParser now throws more accurate exception. As
  an unpleasing side effect, it throws more checked exceptions
  than it used to, so your code might not compile.

- New (obviously missing) interval comparators in Intervals.

- Fixed absolutely stupid bug in CanonicalFast64CodeWordDecoder:
  the size of the lastCodeWordPlusOne array would have been
  the number of codewords, and not the number of codeword
  lengths. The resulting array was an order of magnitude larger
  than necessary, which wasn't properly a bug, but very annoying
  nonetheless (in particular when you generate thousands of
  decoders, as we do for our large time-aware graphs).

- New optional context object in ObjectParser.

1.0.4

- FastBufferedReader has now a more flexible approach to word
  segmentation.

1.0.3

- ShiftAddXorSignedStringMap moved here from Sux4J. It can
  sign any given function (usually one from Sux4J).

- Fixed bug in LongArrayBitVector.length(long) (the
  underlying long array was not cleared properly).

- Optimised implementations for LongArrayBitVector.{fill,flip}().

- Fixed very stupid but pernicious bug in ImmutableExternalPrefixMap,
  which was actually a bug in AbstractPrefixMap: the default
  return value of the underlying function should have been
  set to -1.

1.0.2

- Fixed very old bug in MutableString.print(PrintStream).

- New methods in BitVector. In particular, fast().

- Fixed bug in LongArrayBitVector.replace(LongArrayBitVector).

- Fixed bug in LongArrayBitVector.copy(LongArrayBitVector).

- New ISO-8859-1 transformation strategy.

- Double (CharSequence/MutableString) implementation for
  UTF16/ISO-8859-1 transformation strategies.
  
- Several performance enhancements to bit vector classes.

- A series of wrappers in TransformationStrategies apply
  transforms to all the elements of collection-like objects.

1.0.1

- New method BitVector.append(BitVector).

- PrefixCoderTransformationStrategy and UTF16TransformationStrategy
  now are thread-safe, as they return a new instance at each call.
  They now both support prefix-free and non-prefix-free encodings.

- UTF16TransformationStrategy has been now replaced by two singleton
  instances in TransformationStrategies.

- Significantly optimised LongArrayBitVector.getLong().

1.0

- First release.
