Google Collections 1.0-rc4 is up

[Kevin Bourrillion]

1.0-rc4 -- the "last" RC!

Here are the changes that may affect you:

* Functions.forMap(Map) now has no default-default value. The function it
  returns just throws an exception now on an unrecognized key. For the old
  behavior, use forMap(Map, null).

* ForwardingMap no longer has createEntrySet(), createKeySet() and
  createValues() methods. Just override entrySet(), keySet() and values()
  like usual. Cache your view collection in a field IF you want to; this is no
  longer done for you.

* In ImmutableMultiset.Builder, the add(E, int) overload is renamed to
  addCopies, while other overloads are unchanged.

* Ordering.givenOrder(), which was superseded by Ordering.explicit() in
  rc1, is now removed.

* MapMaker.loadFactor(), a method no one should really use, was removed;
  unfortunately, there's no time left to go through a deprecation cycle, but I
  doubt this will affect many people. This alters the serialized form of
  "MapMade" maps, so the serialversionuid has been incremented.

It's really do-or-die time now, folks -- time to send in any last feedback before these APIs become set in stone for a long, long time!
