Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2010-03-10 11:36:07 EST 
Build Identifier: 

[Shawn] like to move to more specific checked exceptions, and stop
throwing back any old IOException to the application caller.


Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Alex Blewitt CLA 2011-01-26 12:02:12 EST 
This would be a good bug to close before the API lockdown happens.
Comment 2 Elliotte Rusty Harold CLA 2018-01-25 14:38:09 EST 
Is this still possible or has API lockdown happened making this infeasible?
Comment 3 Matthias Sohn CLA 2018-01-25 16:56:58 EST 
Such breaking changes could only be done in a major release. Alex' comments were before  the first major release 1.0. Next major release 5.0 is planned for June.
