+ dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.

+ <action dev="jahlborn" type="update">
+ Add support for Java 8 Temporal types. Date/time fields will now
+ accept as input most Temporal types (e.g. LocalDate, LocalTime,
+ LocalDateTime, etc). Additionally, date/time fields can optionally be
+ changed to output LocalDateTime instead of Date. This behavior is
+ configurable on a per-Database basis by setting the DateTimeType for
+ the database. All Date based APIs now have a parallel LocalDateTime
+ API. Note that only one of those will work depending on how
+ the Database is configured. The legacy Date support will be the
+ default initially, but is deprecated and may be removed in the future.
+ </action>
+ <action dev="jahlborn" type="update">
+ Add support for Path. Existing File based APIs now have parallel
+ versions which utilize Path.
+ </action>

+ The Apache commons-lang dependency has been replaced with
+ commons-lang3.
