2.0.0 [25-Mar-2012]

Fixes:

* [JACKSON-368]: Problems with managed references, abstract types
* [JACKSON-711]: Delegating @JsonCreator did not work with Injectable values
* [JACKSON-798]: Problem with external type id, creators
  (reported by Casey L)
(and all fixes up until and including 1.9.6)

Improvements:

* [JACKSON-546]: Indicate end-of-input with JsonMappingException instead
  of EOFException, when there is no parsing exception
* [JACKSON-664]: Reduce overhead of type resolution by adding caching
  in TypeFactory
* [JACKSON-690]: Pass DeserializationContext through ValueInstantiator
* [JACKSON-695]: Add 'isEmpty(value)' in JsonSerializer to allow
  customizing handling of serialization of empty values
* [JACKSON-710]: 'ObjectMapper.convertValue()' should ignore root value
  wrapping/unwrapping settings
* [JACKSON-730] Split various features (JsonParser, JsonGenerator,
  SerializationConfig, DeserializationConfig) into per-factory
  features (MapperFeature, JsonFactory.Feature) an per
  instance features (existing ones)
* [JACKSON-732]: Allow 'AnnotationIntrospector.findContentDeserializer()'
  (and similar) to return instance, not just Class<?> for instance
 (requested by James R)
* [JACKSON-736]: Add (more) access to array, container and map serializers
* [JACKSON-737]: Allow accessing of "creator properties" for BeanDeserializer
* [JACKSON-748]: Add 'registerSubtypes' to 'Module.setupContext' (and SimpleModule)
* [JACKSON-749]: Make @JsonValue work for Enum deserialization
* [JACKSON-769]: ObjectNode/ArrayNode: change 'put', 'insert', 'add' to return
  'this node' (unless already returning something)
* [JACKSON-770]: Simplify method naming for JsonNode, drop unnecessary 'get' prefix
  from methods like 'getTextValue()' (becomes 'textValue()')
* [JACKSON-777]: Rename 'SerializationConfig.Feature' as 'SerializationFeature',
  'DeserializationConfig.Feature' as 'DeserializationFeature'
* [JACKSON-780]: MissingNode, NullNode should return 'defaultValue' from 'asXxx' methods,
  (not 0 for numbers), as they are not numeric types
* [JACKSON-795]: @JsonValue was not working for Maps, Collections
* [JACKSON-800]: Add 'Module.SetupContext#addDeserializationProblemHandler'
 (suggested by James R)

New features:

* [JACKSON-107]: Add support for Object Identity (to handled cycles, shared refs),
  with @JsonIdentityInfo

* [JACKSON-437]: Allow injecting of type id as POJO property, by setting
  new '@JsonTypeInfo.visible' property to true.
* [JACKSON-469]: Support "Builder pattern" for deserialiation; that is, allow
  use of separate Builder object for data binding, creating actual value
* [JACKSON-608]: Allow use of JSON Views for deserialization
* [JACKSON-636]: Add 'SerializationFeature.ORDER_MAP_ENTRIES_BY_KEYS' to allow
  forced sorting of Maps during serialization
  (suggested by Joern H)
* [JACKSON-669]: Allow prefix/suffix for @JsonUnwrapped properties
 (requested by Aner P)
* [JACKSON-707]: Add 'JsonNode.deepCopy()', to create safe deep copies
  of ObjectNodes, ArrayNodes.
* [JACKSON-714]: Add general-purpose @JsonFormat annotation
* [JACKSON-718]: Added 'JsonNode.canConvertToInt()', 'JsonNode.canConvertToLong()'
* [JACKSON-747]: Allow changing of 'SerializationFeature' for ObjectWriter,
  'DeserializationFeature' for ObjectReader.
* [JACKSON-752]: Add @JsonInclude (replacement of @JsonSerialize.include)
* [JACKSON-754]: Add @JacksonAnnotationsInside for creating "annotation
  bundles" (also: AnnotationIntrospector.isAnnotationBundle())
* [JACKSON-762]: Allow using @JsonTypeId to specify property to use as
  type id, instead of using separate type id resolver.
* [JACKSON-764]: Allow specifying "root name" to use for root wrapping
  via ObjectReader, ObjectWriter.

  (suggested by Raymond R)
* [JACKSON-813]: Add '@JsonSerializableSchema.id' attribute, to indicate
