This involves a new ResourceTransactionDefinition variant that JpaTransactionManager indicates a transaction-local EntityManager on. HibernateJpaDialect uses this indicator for hard read-only behavior.

LocalSessionFactoryBean automatically registers its containing BeanFactory as a BeanContainer when Hibernate 5.3 or higher is on the classpath.
Issue: SPR-16305
SessionHolder extends EntityManagerHolder now, allowing for @PersistenceContext and co to interact with HibernateTransactionManager's thread-bound transactions, and SpringSessionContext is capable of interacting with JpaTransactionManager by detecting a plain EntityManagerHolder as well.
Issue: SPR-17002
Allows for skipping the now-deprecated postProcessPropertyValues callback with its expensive PropertyDescriptor retrieval requirement. RequiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor (which is dependent on postProcessPropertyValues) and the @Required annotation itself are also deprecated now: in favor of constructor injection (or afterPropertiesSet).
Issue: SPR-16918
Update all classes so that inner classes are always last. Also
ensure that utility classes are always final and have a private
constructor and make exceptions final whenever possible.

As of EclipseLink 2.4.0 - Juno this is not sufficient to log
SQL parameter binding. Additionally,
eclipselink.logging.parameters must be enabled.
Issue: SPR-16383
This commit introduces the following changes.
1) It adds a new Spring @NonNull annotation which allows to apply
@NonNullApi semantic on a specific element, like @Nullable does.
Combined with @Nullable, it allows partial null-safety support when
package granularity is too broad.
2) @Nullable and @NonNull can apply to ElementType.TYPE_USE in order
to be used on generic type arguments (SPR-15942).
3) Annotations does not apply to ElementType.TYPE_PARAMETER anymore
since it is not supported yet (applicability for such use case is
controversial and need to be discussed).
4) @NonNullApi does not apply to ElementType.FIELD anymore since in a
lot of use cases (private, protected) it is not part for the public API
+ its usage should remain opt-in. A dedicated @NonNullFields annotation
has been added in order to set fields default to non-nullable.
5) Updated Javadoc and reference documentation.
