Release Notes - Jersey 2.12

Release date: 26-Aug-2014

Highlights

Following experimental APIs have been promoted to become part of public Jersey API:

Jersey client-side HttpAuthenticationFeature API.
Jersey server-side DestroyListener (formerly ExtendedMonitoringStatisticsListener), which has been slightly refactored and is now a separate interface (e.g. not extending MonitoringStatisticsListener), hence providing better compatibility with lambdas.

These APIs are now part of the official public Jersey 2.x API.

Because of a bug fix for issue JERSEY-2602, we re-generate WADL classes from wadl.xsd to make sure the getters for boolean properties starts with is instead of get as in Jersey 1 and Jersey <= 2.6.
For performance purposes a new server property ServerProperties.MONITORING_ENABLED has been introduced. It is possible to enable just basic almost static monitoring information using the property. It allows to inject ApplicationInfo object, renamed original class org.glassfish.jersey.server.monitoring.ApplicationStatistics. And MonitoringStatistics no more have a reference to ApplicationStatistics, method getApplicationStatistics() has been removed.
