Changes

1.0

• Changed constant binding API. Replaced bindConstant(annotation) with bindConstant().annotatedWith(annotation).
• Fixed bug in ordering of instance injection.

1.0rc3

• Renamed Container to Injector
• Renamed "container scope" to "singleton"
• Guice now blows up if a custom provider returns null
• Added @ImplementedBy and @ProvidedBy
• Removed Binder.link(). Binder.bind().to(...) now links.
• Further fleshed out binder expression language.
• Added Spring integration.
• Added JNDI integration.
• Made CreationException a runtime exception.

1.0rc2 (changes since 1.0rc1)

• Added @ScopeAnnotation. If you forget to bind a scope, you'll get an error.
• Added Binder.addError() so you can record custom error messages from modules.
• Removed Scopes.DEFAULT. We now refer to this as "no scope."
• Added up front checks to ensure annotations have runtime retention and the proper meta annotations.
• Added support for injecting private and protected members (cglib fast reflection doesn't support this).
• Renamed Locator to Provider
• Replaced Factory with Provider also
• Removed Context from public API. We may support this functionality via injection in a future release but we're leaving it out for now.
• Extracted an interface for Binding
• We now inject members of instances bound using toInstance() and toProvider() upon container creation.
• When a binding annotation has attributes, if we can't find a binding to the same set of attribute values, we now look for a binding to just the annotation type.
• Created a separate jar for the servlet package
• Created a Struts 2 plugin jar
