[wildfly-dev] URGENT - RELEASE NOTES

[Stefan Guilhen]

Security manager and security permissions features:

- security manager subsystem that installs the WildFlySecurityManager 
and allows specification of seurity permissions that are to be applied 
to all deployments;
- parsing of META-INF/permissions.xml as per spec: subdeployments cannot 
define their own permissions. Instead they can only inherit permissions 
(if any) from the parent EAR;
- parsing of META-INF/jboss-permissions.xml: WF-specific descriptor that 
allows subdeployments to define their own set of permissions regardless 
of those declared at the EAR level;
- jboss modules also allow for the configuration of permissions in 
module.xml;
- more efficient usage of privileged blocks: they are only used if the 
WildFlySecurityManager is active.

That's what I remember right now

This might be an interesting new feature, or it could be something the user should be aware of (compatibility change, important default changed).
