This is a beta release of an updated version of the tio package. The class ReadInput (what you are using when you use Console.in) has had two new methods added. The new methods are readLineNonwhite(), and readCharNonwhite().
readLineNonwhite() reads the entire line of input, up to the newline, beginning from the current input position. If the result is empty (a blank line, or no more input on the line) or only white space, then the line is skipped and the next line is read. This continues until a line containing nonwhite characters is read or the end of file is reached.
readCharNonwhite() reads the next nonwhite character.
Here is the complete documentation for the new version. Most users are only interested in the ReadInput class.
