Changes (1.3 RC1 to 1.3 GA or greater)
========================

Spring.Data
-----------

1. The namespace for MultiDelegatingDbProvider was changed from Spring.Data to Spring.Data.Common as that is consistent with all the other implementations of IDbProvider.

Changes (1.2.0 to 1.3 or greater)
========================

Spring.Core
-----------

1. within an ValidationGroup element (<v:group>,<v:exclusive>,..), nested validator elements now must occur after any
   <v:message>, <v:action> or <v:property> elements. The following was allowed previously, but now will raise a schema
   validation error:

   <v:group ..>
      <v:validator ...>
      <v:action ...>

   change this to

   <v:group ..>
      <v:action ...>
      <v:validator ...>

2. XmlReaderContext constructor now requires an IObjectDefinitionFactory to be specified. Thus XmlReaderContext.ObjectDefinitionFactory
   is read only now.

3. Changes to the Apache NMS API, which was not yet a public release when included in Spring 1.2.0 made breaking API changes.
   On NmsTemlate,

   1) The property 'byte Priority' was changed to 'MsgPriority Priority'
   2) The property 'bool Persistent' is no longer part of the NMS API but is still supported in a backward compatible
      manner by Spring by translation to standard MsgDeliveryMode enumeration values of Persistent and NonPersistent.
      A new property MsgDelivery has been added.  The class, CachedMessageProducer, which is unlikely to be use by
      end users, was directly upgraded to the latest API without any backwards compatibility support.

4. AbstractApplicationContext.CaseSensitive renamed to AbstractApplicationContext.IsCaseSensitive

5. Spring.Validation: Base class BaseValidator changed to BaseSimpleValidator for single validators as compared to group validators
   which now commonly derive from BaseGroupValidator instead of ValidatorGroup

6. IVariableSource implementations now must also implement CanResolveVariable(string variableName) and may throw exceptions in
   ResolveVariable() in case the variable cannot resolved by this particular variable source.
   In order to distinguish between an existing variable having a null value and a non-existing variable, variable sources
   need to be changed to this new contract.

7. a) Signature of CollectionUtils.Contains(ICollection collection, object element) changed to CollectionUtils.Contains(IEnumerable collection, object element)
   b) returns 'null' in case of collection==null instead of throwing an exception

8. dropped Spring.Expressions.DateLiteralNode



Spring.Aop
----------

1. AbstractAutoProxyCreator.FindEligibleAdvisors(Type) changed to
   AbstractAutoProxyCreator.FindEligibleAdvisors(Type, Name)

2. It is not possible to change a ProxyFactoryObject's product configuration at runtime
   if IsSingleton==true since factory object singleton products get cached now.
