Description

org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.readLines no longer throws IOException as of 2.12.0 but rather throws an UncheckedIOException. 

This is a breaking change in that wrapping such a call with try catch (IOException e) now attracts a compile error because the method no longer throws IOException.

I'm unaware if this is a routine thing for this library, I would hope not. I can fix my code but I expected this sort of change only to be made with a major version number bump.
