A few noteworthy minor changes: LocaleContext.getLocale() may return null in special cases (not by default), which our own accessing classes are able to handle now. If there is a non-null TimeZone user setting, we're exposing it to all collaborating libraries, in particular to JSTL, Velocity and JasperReports. Our JSR-310 and Joda-Time support falls back to checking the general LocaleContext TimeZone now, adapting it to their time zone types, if no more specific setting has been provided. Our DefaultConversionService has TimeZone<->ZoneId converters registered. And finally, we're using a custom parseTimeZoneString method now that doesn't accept the TimeZone.getTimeZone(String) GMT fallback for an invalid time zone id anymore.

Renamed ResourceUrlMapper to ResourceUrlGenerator and refactored it
to be configured with Resource-serving HandlerMappings as opposed to
having them detected in the ApplicationContext through the
BeanPostProcessor contact.
Renamed and polished ResourceUrlEncodingFilter to ResourceUrlFilter
and added tests.
This change splits out resource transformation out from the
ResourceResolverChain so that chain is focused entirely on resource
resolution (as its name suggests). The invocation of transformers
is left as a separate step, it uses a different (recursive)
algorithm in any case and iterates over a different set of objects.
Also ResourceResolverChain is now limited strictly to methods that
a ResourceResolver should be able to use to delegate to remaining
resolvers.
Furthermore, ResourceResolverChain now maintains an internal index
of the "current" resolver so that resolvers don't have to pass the
chain when invoking it much like a (Servlet API) FilterChain works.
If the last resolver calls the chain again, a null value is returned.
Prior to this commit, the DispatcherServlet would send an error
response using the HttpServlet API when no Handler was found to
handle this request.
Now the DispatcherServlet can be configured to throw a
NoHandlerFoundException, when the throwExceptionIfNoHandlerFound
property is set to "true".
Those exceptions can be later on caught by default or custom
HandlerExceptionResolvers/ExceptionHandlers.

Also fixing an old XmlBeanFactory test that relies on "ref local" which is gone in the 4.0 xsd now, redeclaring the affected file to an older xsd version.
Also, StandardReflectionParameterNameDiscoverer calls "Parameter.isNamePresent()" now to return null (and pass on to the next discoverer) if no JDK 8 parameters are available. Note that this requires OpenJDK 8 b100 or higher to compile now.

This change enables having @ResponseBody on the type-level in which
case it inherited and does not need to be added on the method level.
For added convenience, there is also a new @RestController annotation,
a meta-annotation in turn annotated with @Controller and @ResponseBody.
Classes with the new annotation do not need to have @ResponseBody
declared on the method level as it is inherited.

MimeType is available in core-spring and does not include support
for quality parameters and media used in HTTP content negotiation.
The MediaType sub-class in org.springframework.http adds q-parameters.
Add a new <spring:argument> tag that cab be nested within
<spring:message> and <spring:theme>. The tag is based on the <fmt:param>
tag and uses conventions found throughout other Spring tags.

The following commit in 3.2.3 had a side effect on CNVR:
aaded7e30b
It appears that CNVR doesn't treat a request for "*/*" differently
from a request that does not request content types. Both should be
interpreted as "any content type is acceptable". This fix ensures
that CNVR treats these two cases the same way.
Issue: SPR-10683
This change involves a modification of the "writeContent" template method to include the "jsonPrefix" String instead of the "prefixJson" boolean flag. Since said template method has only been introduced in 3.2.2, this change should hopefully not be a problem.

Commit 5b1165 was an attempt to leave semicolon content in the URL path
while ignoring it for request mapping purposes. However, it becomes
quite difficult to manage and semicolon content should not always be
ignored (sometimes a semicolon is used as a separator of multiple items
in a path segment, rather than for matrix variables).
This change effectively reverts back to the original approach in 3.2
where a flag on AbstractHandlerMapping can be used to have semicolon
content removed or kept. If kept, path segments with matrix variables
must be represented with a path segment.
The main difference is that by default it is removed everywhere
including the MVC namespace and Java config.

A recent change in FormTag to prepend the context and servlet paths if
not present, causes issues when used in portlet applications.
This change introduces a servletRelativeAction form tag attribute that
must be used for the context and servlet paths to be prepended.
Issue: SPR-10382
Change FrameworkServlet so that it can also be used as a bean within an
existing ApplicationContext. Primarily added to support use with
embedded servlet containers where Spring bootstraps the servlet
container, rather than the servlet container bootstrapping Spring.
Issue: SPR-10381
Removed spring-beans.dtd (the 1.x variant) and spring-oxm-1.5.xsd (pre-Spring-Framework variant), in order to raise the backwards compatibility limit a little bit at least. We'll keep supporting the 2.0 and 2.5 xsd versions for the time being, as well as spring-beans-2.0.dtd.
Removed the ref 'local' attribute in spring-beans-4.0.xsd since 'local' lost its differentiating role to a regular bean ref back in the 3.1 days when we started allowing for the same bean id to reappear in a different beans section of the same configuration file (with a different profile).
