xmlunit 2.1.0 is the latest release for xmlunit.
Most of the xmlunit functionality used within spring-framework
was done through the xmlunit 1.x helper class
`org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLAssert`.
As of xmlunit 2.0.0 most of the XML comparison methods are done
through hamcrest matchers exposed by the xmlunit-matchers
library. In some cases during the migration, the matchers
had to be customized with custom `NodeMatcher` or
`DifferenceEvaluator` instances in order to keep the assertions
correct (they were performed with xmlunit 1.x previously).

Prior to this commit, a dynamic test in
FailingBeforeAndAfterMethodsSpringExtensionTestCase was failing but for
the wrong reason. Namely, the @Configuration class was private which
resulted in an IllegalStateException being thrown, when in fact
an AssertionFailedError was expected.
This commit addresses this by introducing an explicit check for an
AssertionFailedError.
Issue: SPR-4365
Prior to this commit, if multiple TestExecutionListener 'after' methods
threw an exception, only the first such exception was rethrown.
Subsequent exceptions were logged, but there was no way to access or
process them other than via the log file.
This commit addresses this shortcoming by making use of the support for
suppressed exceptions introduced in Java 7. Specifically, if multiple
TestExecutionListener 'after' methods throw an exception, the first
exception will be rethrown with subsequent exceptions suppressed in the
first one.

This commit makes use of the new Supplier<String> variants of utility
methods in org.springframework.util.Assert within the spring-test
module.

SPR-14055 introduced first-class support for the Java 8 Parameter API.
This commit therefore replaces the MethodParameterFactory with use of
the new SynthesizingMethodParameter.forParameter(Parameter) factory
method.

This commit adds a test runtime dependency on log4j 2 for every project
and migrates all log4j.properties files to log4j2-test.xml files.
Issue: SPR-14431
This commit also removes the corresponding deprecated Servlet MVC variant and updates DispatcherServlet.properties to point to RequestMappingHandlerMapping/Adapter by default.
Issue: SPR-14129
This commit introduces initial support for JUnit Jupiter (i.e., the new
programming and extension models in JUnit 5) in the Spring TestContext
Framework.
Specifically, this commit introduces the following.
- SpringExtension: an implementation of multiple extension APIs from
JUnit Jupiter that provides full support for the existing feature set
of the Spring TestContext Framework. This support is enabled via
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class).
- @SpringJUnitConfig: a composed annotation that combines
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) from JUnit Jupiter with
@ContextConfiguration from the Spring TestContext Framework.
- @SpringJUnitWebConfig: a composed annotation that combines
@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) from JUnit Jupiter with
@ContextConfiguration and @WebAppConfiguration from the Spring
TestContext Framework.
