> In the Weld 1.1 Beta 1 release, the @Observes API has an annotation element changed. This is an incompatible API change and would break existing clients.
> -- The original API for @Observes --
> public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{
>     public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception notifyObserver();
>     public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during();
> }
> -- The original API for @Observes --
> and now it is:
> -- The new API for @Observes --
> public interface javax.enterprise.event.Observes extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation{
>     public abstract javax.enterprise.event.Reception receive();
>     public abstract javax.enterprise.event.TransactionPhase during();
> }
> -- The new API for @Observes --
> Notice the renaming of "notifyObserver" to "receive". The original name for the annotation element "notifyObserver" has been published earlier as part of Java EE 6 javadoc [1]. However in the JSR 299 specification, the annotation element is referred to as "receives" (See Section 10.4.3) and hence I think this have been renamed as part of WELD-455 [2]. 
> Please revert this change in API.
