| 21 | IMPORTANT WARNINGS |
| 22 | ------------------ |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 1. APIs marked with the @Beta annotation at the class or method level |
| 25 | are subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even |
| 26 | removed, at any time. If your code is a library itself (i.e. it is |
| 27 | used on the CLASSPATH of users outside your own control), you should |
| 28 | not use beta APIs, unless you repackage them (e.g. using ProGuard). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | 2. Deprecated non-beta APIs will be removed eighteen months after the |
| 31 | release in which they are first deprecated. You must fix your |
| 32 | references before this time. If you don't, any manner of breakage |
| 33 | could result (you are not guaranteed a compilation error). |
| 34 | |
| 35 | 3. Serialized forms of ALL objects are subject to change. Do not |
| 36 | persist these and assume they can be read by a future version of the |
| 37 | library. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | 4. Our classes are not designed to protect against a malicious caller. |
| 40 | You should not use them for communication between trusted and |
| 41 | untrusted code. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | 5. We unit-test and benchmark the libraries using only OpenJDK 1.6 on |
| 44 | Linux. Some features, especially in com.google.common.io, may not work |
| 45 | correctly in other environments. |
