The Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons FileUpload 1.3.3. The Apache Commons FileUpload library parses HTTP requests which conform to RFC 1867, "Form-based File Upload in HTML." That is, if an HTTP request is submitted using the POST method, and with a content type of "multipart/form-data," then FileUpload can parse that request, and make the results available in a manner easily used by the caller. The only change in this release is a fix for, "FILEUPLOAD-279: DiskFileItem can no longer be deserialized, unless a particular system property is set," a fix for the purposes of security. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Commons download site: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-fileupload/download_fileupload.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Alternatively the release can be pulled via maven: <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId> <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId> <version>1.3.3</version> The release notes can be reviewed at: http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/fileupload/RELEASE-NOTES.txt For complete information on Commons FileUpload, including instructions on how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache Commons FileUpload website: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-fileupload/ Best regards, Rob Tompkins on behalf of the Apache Commons community
