The method AbstractTableModel.fireTableDataChanged() now clears the selection
after firing the change. There is nothing in the documentation to describe this
new behavior. Clearing the selection is a pretty significant change. The
documentation needs to be clear that this happens. I had to trace through the
Java Source code to figure out what was really going on. I shouldn't have to do
that.

(I'm not sure why you made this change, but I would have preferred getting a new
method that also cleared the selection, rather than modifying an existing
method. A lot of my code broke because of this change. There were plenty of
places where I called this method, certain that the number or rows hadn't
changed. If I needed to clear the selection, I would have done so on my own.)
