 6.0.0 (Oct 3, 2016)

 <p>
 	Juneau 6.0.0 is a major update.
 </p>
 <p>
 	The major change is rebranding from "Juno" to "Juneau" in preparation for donation to the Apache Foundation.
 </p>

 <h5 class='topic w800'>org.apache.juneau</h5>
 <ul class='spaced-list'>
 	<li>Major changes around how serializer and parser class properties are defined to improve performance
 		and concurrency.
 		<ul>
 			<li>New {@link oaj.PropertyStore} class - Used for creating context objects.
 			<li>New {@link oaj.Context} class - Read-only configurations for serializers and parsers.
 			<li>New {@link oaj.Session} class - One-time use objects used by serializers and parsers.
 			<li>All context context properties can now also be specified via system properties.
 		</ul>
 	</li>
 	<li>Refactored serializer and parser APIs for more consistency between stream-based and character-based serializers
 		and parsers.
 		<ul>
 			<li>More consistent handling of exceptions.
 			<li>More consistent method declarations.
 		</ul>
 	<li>Refactored var resolver API and added them to a new package - <c>org.apache.juneau.svl</c>.
 		<ul>
 			<li>Support for stream-based variables - {@link oaj.svl.StreamedVar}.
 			<li>Added support for context and session objects.
 		</ul>
 	<li>Eliminated <js>"_class"</js> properties and replaced them with <js>"_type"</js> properties.
 		The class properties were a little-used feature where we would serialize fully-qualified class names when the class type could not be inferred through reflection.
 		It's been replaced with bean type names and bean dictionaries.
 		Instead of class names, we serialize <js>"_type"</js> properties whose name is the type name defined on the bean being serialized.
 		The parsers use a 'dictionary' of bean classes to resolve those names to actual bean classes.
 		The following features were added to enable this support:
 		<ul>
 			<li>{@link oaj.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} - Annotation that defines an identifying name for a bean class.
 			<li>{@link oaj.transform.BeanFilterBuilder#typeName(String)} - Programmatic equivalent to annotation above.
 			<li>{@link oaj.BeanContext#BEAN_beanDictionary} - List of bean classes that make up the bean dictionary for lookup
 				during parsing.
 			<li>{@link oaj.BeanContext#BEAN_beanTypePropertyName} - The overridable type property name.  Default is <js>"_type"</js>.
 			<li><dc>@BeanProperty(beanDictionary)</dc> - Define a type dictionary
 				for a particular bean property value.  This overrides the value specified using {@link oaj.BeanContext#BEAN_beanDictionary}.
 			<li><dc>SerializerContext.SERIALIZER_addBeanTypeProperties</dc> - Controls whether type properties are serialized.
 		</ul>
 		In addition, the {@link oaj.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} value replaces the <c>@Xml(name)</c> annotation, and the
 		<js>"type"</js> and <js>"_class"</js> attributes in the XML and HTML serializers have been standardized on a single <js>"_type"</js> attribute.
 	<li>Refactor bean filter support to use {@link oaj.transform.BeanFilterBuilder} class.
 		Allows the <c>BeanFilter</c> class to use final fields.
 	<li>{@link oaj.msgpack MessagePack} support.
 	<li>Serializers can now serialize directly to {@link java.io.File Files}.
 		See {@link oaj.serializer.Serializer#serialize(Object,Object)}
 	<li>Parsers can now parse directly from {@link java.io.File Files} and other types.
 		See {@link oaj.parser.Parser#parse(Object,ClassMeta)}
 	<li>Parsers will automatically covert numeric input to POJOs that have numeric constructors (e.g. <c>java.util.Date</c>).
 	<li>Renamed 'Filters' to 'BeanFilters' and 'PojoSwaps'.  Filters is just too overloaded a term.
 	<li>Internal utility classes moved to a new <c>org.apache.juneau.internal</c> package.
 		These internal utility classes are not meant for consumption outside the Juneau codebase.
 	<li>New methods on {@link oaj.parser.Parser}:
 		<ul>
 			<li><c>org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.createSession(ObjectMap,Method,Object)</c>
 			<li><dc>Parser.getMediaRanges()</dc>
 		</ul>
 	</li>
 	<li>New methods on {@link oaj.serializer.Serializer}:
 		<ul>
 			<li><c>org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.createSession(ObjectMap,Method)</c>
 			<li><dc>Serializer.getMediaRanges()</dc>
 		</ul>
 	</li>
 	<li>New {@link oaj.annotation.Bean#sort() @Bean(sort)} annotation.
 	<li>Added <ja>@Bean.properties</ja> annotations on various DTO beans to make the ordering consistent
 		between IBM and Oracle JVMs.<br>
 		IBM JVMs maintain the order of methods in a class, whereas Oracle JVMs do not.
 	<li>Serializers and parsers now automatically convert {@link java.lang.Class} objects to readable names via <dc>ClassUtils.getReadableClassName(Class)</dc>.
 	<li>Eliminated the <c>ClassFilter</c> class since it's no longer needed.
 	<li>Code and concurrency improvements to {@link oaj.serializer.SerializerGroup} and {@link oaj.parser.ParserGroup}.
 	<li>Various enhancements to <dc>BeanContext.convertToType(Object,Class)</dc>.
 	<li>New properties on {@link oaj.html.HtmlSerializer}:
 		<ul>
 			<li><dc>HtmlSerializerContext.HTML_detectLinksInStrings</dc> - Automatically detect hyperlinks in strings.
 			<li><dc>HtmlSerializerContext.HTML_lookForLabelParameters</dc> - Specify anchor text by appending <c>&amp;label=MyLabel</c> to URL.
 			<li><dc>HtmlSerializerContext.HTML_labelParameter</dc> - Specify what URL parameter to use as the anchor text label.
 			<li><dc>HtmlSerializerContext.URI_ANCHOR</dc> option for <dc>HtmlSerializerContext.HTML_uriAnchorText</dc>.
 		</ul>
 	</li>
 	<li>Removed generics from {@link oaj.BeanPropertyMeta}.
 	<li>Introduced new classes to eliminate the references to language-specific metadata in the core metadata classes:
 		<ul>
 			<li><dc>ClassMetaExtended</dc> / <dc>ClassMeta.getExtendedMeta(Class)</dc>
 			<li><dc>BeanMetaExtended</dc> /<dc>BeanMeta.getExtendedMeta(Class)</dc>
 			<li><dc>BeanPropertyMetaExtended</dc> / <dc>BeanPropertyMeta.getExtendedMeta(Class)</dc>
 		</ul>
 	</li>
 	<li>Renamed <c>@Transform</c> annotation to <dc>@Pojo</dc> so that it can be used for various POJO-related behavior, not just associating transforms.
 	<li>Introduced {@link oaj.dto.swagger Swagger DTOs}.
 </ul>

 <h5 class='topic w800'>org.apache.juneau.rest</h5>
 <ul class='spaced-list'>
 	<li>OPTIONS pages replaced with Swagger documents.
 		Lots of changes related to supporting Swagger.
 		<ul>
 			<li>Annotation name changes to conform to Swagger specs:  <ja>@Attr</ja>-&gt;<ja>@Path</ja>, <ja>@QParam</ja>-&gt;<ja>@Query</ja>, <ja>@Param</ja>-&gt;<ja>@FormData</ja>, <ja>@Content</ja>-&gt;<ja>@Body</ja>
 			<li>Eliminated <c>ResourceOptions</c> and related code.
 			<li>New annotations and related methods:
 				<ul>
 					<li><dc>@RestResource(title)</dc> / {@link oajr.RestInfoProvider#getTitle(RestRequest)}
 					<li><dc>@RestResource(description)</dc> / {@link oajr.RestInfoProvider#getDescription(RestRequest)}

 				</ul>
 			</li>
 		</ul>
 	<li>New <dc>RestServletContext.paramFormat</dc> context property.
 	<li>New/updated methods on {@link oajr.RestServlet}:
