## Version 1.3.6

- Fix for Java 1.6 compat
  - Java 1.6 cannot compile it due to variables with ambigous names (which
  - Java 1.8 can identify)

## Version 1.3.5

- Improve ProgressBar UI
  - It now shows all the progression bars of the different steps of progression at the same time

## Version 1.3.4

  - ...with new methods: isOlderThan(Version) and isNewerThan(Version)

  - Which can parse versions from the running program

## Version 1.2.3

- Add openResource and getVersion in IOUtils

- Give more informartion on AssertErrors
  - The TestCase were not always helpful in case of AssertExceptions; they now print the stacktrace (they only used to do it for non-assert exceptions)

- Fix configure.sh
  - The VERSION file was not added, the Main method was not the correct one (so it was not producing working runnable JAR, yet it stated so)

## Version 1.2.2

- Fix bug in Bundle regarding \t handling
  - ...tests should be written (later)

## Version 1.2.1

- New drawEllipse3D method

  - A new progress reporting system (and tests) in the new ui package (some other classes have been moved into ui, too: WrapLayout and UIUtils)

## Version 1.0.0

- Add WrapLayout and UIUtils
  - A FlowLayout that automatically wrap to the next line (from existing code found on internet) and a method to set a fake-native look & feel

## Version 0.9.7

- Improve toImage and allow non-resetable InputStreams
  - ...though they are then automatically saved onto disk then re-opened, then the file is deleted at the end of the process -- bad perfs
  - Worse, it does it even if no EXIF metadata are present (because it cannot know that before reading the Stream, and cannot save a partially, non-resetable Stream to disk)

- Reoarganize some methods from String to IO

## Version 0.9.6

- New test system
  - Now some unit tests have been added, as well as the support classes

## Version 0.9.5

- Resource bundle bug
  - UTF-8 strings were sometimes wrangled
  - It is fixed by using a Bundle#Control, whih sadly is only available in Java 1.6+

## Version 0.9.4

- Compatibility bug
  - Again... because of some useless imports made there for a wrong jDoc comment

## Version 0.9.3

- Compatibility bug
  - The library did not work with JDK versions prior to 1.8 because of a dependency on Base64
  - A new (public domain) class was used instead, which is compatible with Java 1.5 this time

## Version 0.9.2

- Initial version
  - ...on GIT
