<emphasis role="bold"> blocks do not render properly, probably due to
conflicting CSS used for syntax highlighting. For the moment, any
mentions of bold text (e.g. "see bold text in the snippet below") have
been removed to avoid confusion as reported in SPR-8520. SPR-8526 has
been created to address the underlying issue of getting bold to work
even with syntax highlighting.
Issue: SPR-8520, SPR-8526
Chapter 27 covered @Required and RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor but
did not hold together as a chapter unto itself. The IoC chapter already
makes mention of @Required and RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor,
though not in quite as much detail as Chapter 27 did. Links have been
updated throughout to reference these sections and Chatper 27 has been
eliminated entirely.
* eliminated all usage of "the section entitled", because <xref> links already render including "the section called ". This was resulting in sentences like 'see also the section entitled the section called "@Autowired"'. This issue affected nearly all sections of the documentation, so went beyond just beans.xml
* fixed table overflow in the "Using filters to customize scanning" section (approx. p.90)
* fixed all code overflows in <programlisting/> elements
* corrected a couple minor syntax errors with SpEL examples (missing closing braces)
* added 'language="..."' element to <programlisting> elements where appropriate to enable syntax highlighting.
* normalized all code indention to four-space (some code listings were using one- and two-space)
* updated all code listings to use same-line opening braces.
* eliminated section regarding backward compatibility with Spring DTDs and singleton=true|false. This seems like cruft to me, and we shouldn't keep historical notes around forever.
* Added <note> regarding the new thread scope (SimpleThreadScope) to Section 3.5 Bean Scopes. Also updated the section on registering a custom Scope implementation to use the SimpleThreadScope as an example.
* updated the new-in-3.xml section to improve the @Configuration example
