+            [Java] director exception handling improvements.
+
+            When a director method throws an exception and it is caught by DirectorException
+            and passed back to Java using Swig::DirectorException::throwException, the Java
+            stack trace now contains the original source line that threw the exception.
+
+            Deprecate Swig::DirectorException::raiseJavaException, please replace usage with
+            Swig::DirectorException::throwException.

             Add support for C++11 ref-qualifiers when using directors.
