APIs marked with the @Beta annotation at the class or method level 25are subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even 26removed, at any time. If your code is a library itself (i.e. it is 27used on the CLASSPATH of users outside your own control), you should 28not use beta APIs, unless you repackage them (e.g. using ProGuard). 29 302. Deprecated non-beta APIs will be removed eighteen months after the 31release in which they are first deprecated. You must fix your 32references before this time. If you don't, any manner of breakage 33could result (you are not guaranteed a compilation error). 34 353. Serialized forms of ALL objects are subject to change. Do not 36persist these and assume they can be read by a future version of the 37library. 38 394. Our classes are not designed to protect against a malicious caller. 40You should not use them for communication between trusted and 41untrusted code. 42 435. We unit-test and benchmark the libraries using only OpenJDK 1.6 on 44Linux. Some features, especially in com.google.common.io, may not work 45correctly in other environments. 46 47
