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. 46 47
