- Set of overridable properties now centralized to new global-properties bean and referenced by repository-properties, hibernateConfigProperties and subsystems
- Installer defaults can now be specified in classpath:alfresco-global.properties
- A special BeanFactoryPostProcessor ensures backward compatibility with existing alfresco/extension/*-context.xml files overriding repository-properties or hibernateConfigProperties.
- Subsystems pick up initial property values from global-properties. Placeholders expanded.
- Messages now output when subsystems stopped and started
- Object names lists to allow better hierarchical organisation
- Composite properties now supported by child application contexts
- Materialized in context.xml as ListFactoryBeans - lists of beans
- Configured values injected before application context started
- Configurable via alfresco-global.properties or JMX

- An authentication chain of size 1 configured by default
- DefaultChildApplicationContextManager supports dynamic configuration of the authentication chain via Spring or JMX. Any number of instances of any type allowed in chain.
- SubsystemChainingAuthenticationComponent and SubsystemChainingAuthenticationService iterate across configured chain for Authentication
- SSO (NTLM / Kerberos) and CIFS authentication independently activatable for any component in chain (where supported).
- SubsystemChainingProxyFactory used to proxy directly to first active CIFS authenticator or SSO filter in the chain
- CIFS server knows not to bother starting if authentication chain doesn't have an active CIFS authenticator (e.g. LDAP only)
- Rationalization of subsystem configuration folder structure and JMX object naming
- Classpath based extension mechanism for community edition - alfresco/extension/subsystems/<category>/<typeName>/<id>/*.properties in classpath can be used to configure specific subsystem instances
- Simplification of JMX infrastructure. No longer Spring bean definition based, thus allowing dynamic creation/registration of new instances at runtime.
- New AuthenticationChainTest unit test
