\section{Changes Since 1.0 Release}

\begin{itemize}
\item Section \ref{servlet}: new requirements for Servlet 3 containers.
\item Section \ref{javaee}: requirements for Java EE 6 containers.
\item Section \ref{standard_entity_providers}: requirements on standard entity providers when presented with an empty request entity.
\item Section \ref{message_body_writer}: add closeness of generic type as secondary sort key.
\item Section \ref{message_body_reader}: default to application/octet-stream if a request does not contain a content-type header.
\item Section \ref{resource_field}: add support for static fromString method.
\item Section \ref{annotationinheritance}: clarify annotation inheritance.
\item Section \ref{security_context}: fix typo.
\item Section \ref{servlet_container}: additional considerations related to filters consuming request bodies.
\end{itemize}

\section{Changes Since Proposed Final Draft}

\begin{itemize}
\item Section \ref{request_matching}: Additional sort criteria so that templates with explicit regexs are sorted ahead of those with the default.
\item Sections \ref{request_matching}, \ref{determine_response_type}, \ref{declaring_provider_capabilities} and \ref{context_media_type}: Q-values not used in \Consumes\ or \Produces.
\item Section \ref{message_body_writer}: Fixed algorithm to refer to section \ref{determine_response_type} instead of restating it. Fixed status code returned when the media type has been determined but an appropriate message body writer cannot be located.
\item Chapter \ref{runtimedelegate}: Clarify that an implementation can supply an alternate \rd\ API class.
\end{itemize}

\section{Changes Since Public Review Draft}

\begin{itemize}
\item Chapter \ref{applications}: Renamed ApplicationConfig class to Application.
