Highlights

Updated to MOXy 2.6

Jersey has updated version of MOXy (XML/JSON provider) to version 2.6. Among some bug fixes there are other notable changes (some of them breaking) that you should be aware of:

Redesign of type property in JSON processing - Special handling of JSON type property is deprecated. If there is need to identify type of JSON object - due to missing root element or some special inheritance requirements, it is necessary to specify fully qualified type property with http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace.
Bean Validation in MOXy
MOXy support for for Java API for JSON Processing (JSR-353)

Promoted Public Beta APIs

Several experimental Jersey APIs have matured enough and as such we have decided to promote them from Beta status, namely:

Jersey Reactive Client API. Also Reactive Client moved from incubator to extension (umbrella) module.
Jersey client-side ClientLifecycleListener SPI.
Jersey server-side ContainerLifecycleListener SPI.
Jersey server-side (MVC) @ErrorTemplate annotation.
Jersey test framework (client-side) LoopBackConnectorProvider connector.
Jersey test framework (server-side) ContainerRequestBuilder class.

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