Thanks to user-supplied patches, I’ve just uploaded opencsv 1.6 to Sourceforge - my Apache licensed two-class library for reading and writing CSV files. If you’re in the market for a CSV library and can’t be bothered with dealing with unusual edge cases, this might be the library for you.

This new release adds custom line terminators (which is pretty useful if you’re exporting CSV from your linux web server to Win32 clients). Thanks to Klaus Stafto and Jerry Vos for good work here.

This release also fixes an unusual edge case where quote characters are used in an element, but not in the first position.

Someone send me a patch for this second issue, which I’ve integrated, but have since lost the original email. Let me know who you are, and I’ll add you to the credits.
