Summary of Stripes 1.5 changes / refactorings

[Matt Brock]

Instead of searching the mailing list for every single change that necessitates a code refactoring, it would be nice to have one place where devs can look for the major "gotchas".  I hope that the documentation will be updated soon, or there are going to be a lot of unhappy "Stripers" out there.

I guess I'll get the ball rolling...

* @After, @Before annotation signature
1.4.3: @After(LifecycleStage.EVENTNAME), @Before(LifecycleStage.EVENTNAME)
1.5: @After(stages = LifecycleStage.EVENTNAME), @Before(stages = LifecycleStage.EVENTNAME)

* UrlBuilder default method signature deprecated
1.4.3: UrlBuilder ub = new UrlBuilder(urlString, isForPage)
1.5: UrlBuilder ub = new UrlBuilder(locale, urlString, isForPage)

* web.xml configuration parameter ActionResolver.PackageFilters
1.4.3: <param-name>ActionResolver.PackageFilters</param-name>
1.5: <param-name>ActionResolver.Packages</param-name>

Ummm, so in the .zip file of the 15.RC1 release (and also will be  
there in the final) is a file called upgrading.txt which lists out  
all the major backwards compatibility issues.  It doesn't list all  
the changes in class/method APIs that are public, but it hits all the  
changes that most users will encounter.  Take a look and let us know  
if you think anything critical is missing.

Thanks, Tim, that's perfect.  It's also in the SNAPSHOT, which is what I was using...
