<h5 class='topic w800'>juneau-marshall</h5>
<ul class='spaced-list'>
	<li>
		Improvements to swap support.
		<ul>
			<li>New {@link oaj.annotation.Swap @Swap} annotation.
				<br>Replaces the <c>@Pojo</c> and <dc>@BeanProperty(swap)</dc> annotations.
			<li>Support for per-media-type swaps.
				<br>Programmatic example:
				<p class='bcode w800'>
	<ja>@Swap</ja>(MyJsonOnlySwap.<jk>class</jk>)			
	<jk>public class</jk> MyPojo {}

	<jk>public class</jk> MyJsonOnlySwap <jk>extends</jk> PojoSwap&lt;MyPojo,String&gt; {

			<jk>public</jk> MediaType[] forMediaTypes() {
				<jk>return</jk> MediaType.<jsm>forStrings</jsm>(<js>"&#42;/json"</js>);
			}

			<jk>public</jk> String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo o) <jk>throws</jk> Exception {
				<jk>return</jk> <js>"It's JSON!"</js>;
 		}
				</p>
				<br>Annotated example:
				<p class='bcode w800'>
	<ja>@Swap</ja>(impl=ToStringSwap.<jk>class</jk>, mediaTypes=<js>"&#42;/json"</js>)
	<jk>public class</jk> MyBean { ... }

	<jk>public class</jk> ToStringSwap <jk>extends</jk> PojoSwap&lt;Object,String&gt; {
		<jk>public</jk> String swap(BeanSession session, Object o) <jk>throws</jk> Exception {
			<jk>return</jk> o.toString();
		}
	}
				</p>
			<li>Support for templated swaps which provide additional context information for a swap.
				<br>The following is an example of a templated swap class used to serialize POJOs to HTML using FreeMarker:
				<p class='bcode w800'>
	<jc>// Our abstracted templated swap class.</jc>
	<jk>public abstract class</jk> FreeMarkerSwap <jk>extends</jk> PojoSwap&lt;Object,Reader&gt; {

		<jk>public</jk> MediaType[] forMediaTypes() {
			<jk>return</jk> MediaType.<jsm>forStrings</jsm>(<js>"&#42;/html"</js>);
		}

		<jk>public</jk> Reader swap(BeanSession session, Object o, String template) <jk>throws</jk> Exception {
			<jk>return</jk> getFreeMarkerReader(template, o);  <jc>// Some method that creates raw HTML.</jc>
		}
	}
				</p>
				<p class='bcode w800'>
		<ja>@Swap</ja>(impl=FreeMarkerSwap.<jk>class</jk>, template=<js>"MyPojo.div.ftl"</js>)
		<jk>public class</jk> MyPojo {}
				</p>
			<li>New {@link oaj.annotation.Swaps @Swaps} annotation for defining multiple swaps
				against the same POJO when they're differentiated by media types:
				<p class='bcode w800'>
	<ja>@Swaps</ja>(
		{
			<ja>@Swap</ja>(MyJsonSwap.<jk>class</jk>),
			<ja>@Swap</ja>(MyXmlSwap.<jk>class</jk>),
			<ja>@Swap</ja>(MyOtherSwap.<jk>class</jk>)
		}
	)
	<jk>public class</jk> MyPojo {}
				</p>
		</ul>
	<li>
		New {@link oaj.transform.Surrogate} interface for identifying surrogate classes.
	<li>
		Serializers can now serialize to {@link java.util.StringBuilder StringBuilders}.
	<li>
		Serializers now serialize the contents of {@link java.io.Reader Readers} and {@link java.io.InputStream InputStreams}
		directly to the output stream or writer.
		<br>When used with conjunction with <c>PojoSwaps</c>, this can be used to provide customized
		output for specific content types.
		<p class='bcode w800'>
	<ja>@Pojo</ja>(swap=MyBeanSwap.<jk>class</jk>)
	<jk>public class</jk> MyBean {...}
	
	<jk>public class</jk> MyBeanSwap <jk>extends</jk> PojoSwap&lt;MyBean,Object&gt; {
		<jk>public</jk> Object swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo o) <jk>throws</jk> Exception {
			MediaType mt = session.getMediaType();
			<jk>if</jk> (mt.hasSubType(<js>"json"</js>))
				<jk>return new</jk> StringReader(<js>"{foo:'bar'}"</js>);  <jc>// Custom JSON output</jc>
			<jk>return</jk> o; <jc>// Otherwise treat as normal bean</jc>
		}
	}
	
	<jc>// Produces "{foo:'bar'}"</jc>
	String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.<jsf>DEFAULT</jsf>
.toString(<jk>new</jk> MyBean());
		</p>
		<br>This feature helps with the implementation of language-agnostic template support such as for
		using FreeMaker to serialize POJOs to HTML.
	<li>
		{@link oaj.serializer.SerializerSession} and {@link oaj.parser.ParserSession}
		objects are now reusable if used within the same thread.
		<p class='bcode w800'>
	<jc>// Old way (still works)</jc>
	JsonSerializer.<jsf>DEFAULT</jsf>.serialize(writer1, pojo1);
	JsonSerializer.<jsf>DEFAULT</jsf>.serialize(writer2, pojo2);
	
	<jc>// Same, but using a session object</jc>
	SerializerSession session = JsonSerializer.<jsf>DEFAULT</jsf>.createSession();
	<jk>try</jk> {
		session.serialize(writer1, pojo1);
		session.serialize(writer2, pojo2);
	} <jk>finally</jk> {
		session.close();
	}  			
		</p>
		This is mostly an internal change and doesn't affect the existing APIs.
	<li>
		{@link oaj.transform.PojoSwap#swap(BeanSession,Object)} and {@link oaj.transform.PojoSwap#unswap(BeanSession,Object,ClassMeta)} 
		can now throw arbitrary exceptions instead of having to wrap them in <c>SerializeException</c>/<c>ParseException</c>.
	<li>
		New {@link oaj.utils.CalendarUtils} class that encapsulates serialization/parsing logic from {@link oaj.transforms.CalendarSwap} and 
		{@link oaj.transforms.DateSwap}.
	<li>
		New annotation {@link oaj.html.annotation.Html#anchorText}.
	<li>
		New methods on {@link oaj.ObjectList}:
		<ul>
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectList#get(int,Class) get(int,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectList#get(int,Type,Type...) get(int,Type,Type...)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectList#getMap(int,Class,Class) getMap(int,Class,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectList#getList(int,Class) getList(int,Class)}
		</ul>
	<li>
		New methods on {@link oaj.ObjectMap}:
		<ul>
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#get(String,Type,Type...) get(String,Type,Type...)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object) getWithDefault(String,Object)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object,Class) getWithDefault(String,Object,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...) getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getSwapped(String,PojoSwap) getSwapped(String,PojoSwap)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getAt(String,Class) getAt(String,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getAt(String,Type,Type...) getAt(String,Type,Type...)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getMap(String,Class,Class,Map) getMap(String,Class,Class,Map)}
			<li>{@link oaj.ObjectMap#getList(String,Class,List) getList(String,Class,List)}
		</ul>
	<li>
		New methods on {@link oaj.utils.PojoRest}:
		<ul>
			<li>{@link oaj.utils.PojoRest#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.utils.PojoRest#get(String,Type,Type...) get(String,Type,Type...)}
			<li>{@link oaj.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object) getWithDefault(String,Object)}
			<li>{@link oaj.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object,Class) getWithDefault(String,Object,Class)}
			<li>{@link oaj.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...) getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...)}
		</ul>
	<li>
		Fixed bug where {@link oaj.BeanSession#getMediaType()} wasn't returning a value.
	<li>
		Eliminated the <ja>@Consumes</ja> and <ja>@Produces</ja> annotations.
		<br>The supported media types are now passed in through the constructors.
		<br>This was changed to eliminate a performance issue where a field could not be set as final because
		the call to <c>getClass()</c> to retrieve the annotation value could not be called before calling
		the <c><jk>super</jk>()</c> method.
	<li>
		New class: {@link oaj.utils.PojoMerge}
	<li>
		New doc: <del>2.6.2 - @Pojo annotation</del>
	<li>
		New doc: <del>2.6.5 - Serializing Readers and InputStreams</del>
</ul>

<h5 class='topic w800'>juneau-dto</h5>
<ul class='spaced-list'>
	<li>
		{@link oaj.dto.html5.HtmlElementMixed#children(Object...)} can now take in collections
		of objects.
	<li>
		The DTO beans can now be serialized to strings of their typical language by calling the <c>toString()</c> method.
		<br>For example, <c>Swagger.toString()</c> produces JSON and the HTML5 <c>Form.toString()</c>
		produces HTML.
</ul>


<h5 class='topic w800'>juneau-rest-server</h5>
<ul class='spaced-list'>
	<li>
		Revamped and simplified servlet and REST-call lifecycle handling through new
		{@link oajr.annotation.RestHook @RestHook} annotation.
		<ul>
			<li>The {@link oajr.RestServlet#init(ServletConfig)} method is now final and can
				no longer be extended.
				<br>Instead, use {@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#INIT} or 
				{@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#POST_INIT} for initialization.
			<li>The following methods on {@link oajr.RestServlet} have been removed:
				<ul>
					<li><c>init(RestConfig)</c> 
						- Use {@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#INIT} instead.
					<li><c>onSuccess(RestRequest, RestResponse, long)</c>
						- Use {@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#END_CALL} instead.
					<li><c>onPreCall(RestRequest)</c>
						- Use {@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#PRE_CALL} instead.
					<li><c>onPostCall(RestRequest, RestResponse)</c>
						- Use {@link oajr.annotation.HookEvent#POST_CALL} instead.
				</ul> 	
		</ul>
	<li>
		Simplified {@link oajr.widget.MenuItemWidget}.
		<br>Exposes an abstract method <dc>getContent(RestRequest)</dc> that
		can return raw HTML via readers or char-sequences, or any other object (such as HTML5 beans) that will
		get converted to HTML using {@link oaj.html.HtmlSerializer#DEFAULT}.
	<li>
		{@link oajr.RestResourceResolver} instances are now inherited from parent resources to child resources
		unless explicitly overridden at the child level.
		<br>It's also been changed to an interface.
	<li>New annotations on <dc>@RestResource</dc>:
		<ul>
			<li><dc>resourceResolver()</dc>
				<br>Allows you to specify a resource resolver on the servlet context to make it easier to work with
				dependency injection frameworks.
			<li><dc>contextPath()</dc> - 
				<br>Allows you to override the context path value inherited from the servlet container.
			<li><dc>allowHeaderParams()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_allowHeaderParams</c> setting.
			<li><dc>allowMethodParam()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_allowMethodParam</c> setting.
			<li><dc>allowBodyParam()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_allowBodyParam</c> setting.
			<li><dc>renderResponseStackTraces()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_xxx</c> setting.
			<li><dc>useStackTraceHashes()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_useStackTraceHashes</c> setting.
			<li><dc>defaultCharset()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_defaultCharset</c> setting.
			<li><dc>paramFormat()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_paramFormat</c> setting.
		</ul>
	<li>New annotations on {@link oajr.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod}:
		<ul>
			<li>{@link oajr.annotation.RestMethod#defaultCharset() defaultCharset()} - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_defaultCharset</c> setting.
			<li><dc>RestMethod.paramFormat()</dc> - 
				<br>Replaces the <c>RestContext.REST_paramFormat</c> setting.
		</ul>
	<li>
		The following implementation classes can now be defined as non-static inner classes of servlets/resources:
		<ul>
			<li>{@link oajr.widget.Widget}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestConverter}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestGuard}
			<li>{@link oajr.ResponseHandler}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestCallHandler}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestInfoProvider}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestResourceResolver}
			<li>{@link oajr.RestLogger}
			<li>{@link oaj.html.HtmlDocTemplate}
		</ul>
	<li>
		New tooltip template: {@link oajr.widget.Tooltip}
	<li>
		New dark theme:
		<br><img src='doc-files/ReleaseNotes.632.DarkStyle.png'>
	<li>
		Stylesheet selection now stored in HTTP session when passed in via <c>?stylesheet</c> query parameter.
	<li>
		New doc: <del>Lifecycle Hooks</del>
	<li>
		Eliminated the <c>RestServletJenaDefault</c> class to remove the Jena dependency class on 
		the <c>juneau-rest-server</c> artifact. 
		<br>It's simple enough to simply extend <c>BasicRestServlet</c> and add the RDF serializers and
		parsers.
</ul>

<h5 class='topic w800'>juneau-microservice</h5>
<ul class='spaced-list'>
	<li>
		The microservice has been significantly modified to be configured via a <c>jetty.xml</c> file
		for maximum flexibility instead of the hodge-podge of support in the config file.
		<br>Top-level servlets should now be defined in the provided <c>jetty.xml</c> file.
	<li>
		New methods on <dc>RestMicroservice</dc>:
		<ul>
			<li><dc>addServlet(Servlet,String)</dc>
			<li><dc>addServletAttribute(String,Object)</dc>
			<li><dc>getServer()</dc>

	<li>
		New class <dc>JettyLogger</dc> for directing Jetty logging to the
		java.util.logging framework.
	<li>
		New class <dc>DebugResource</dc> for viewing and generating
		Jetty thread dumps through REST calls.
</ul>

<h5 class='topic w800'>org.apache.juneau.rest.examples</h5>
<ul class='spaced-list'>
	<li>
		New example of adding a menu-item widget to the Pet Store resource (including tooltips):
