=== New serialization mechanism
Before Spring Batch 4, the default serialization mechanism for the `ExecutionContext`
was based on the `XStream` library. In this release, the serialization mechanism
has been changed to use `Jackson` by default.
The new serialization format is _not_ compatible with the old serialization format.
The old serialization mechanism based on `XStreamExecutionContextStringSerializer`
is still available but is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
If the old format needs to be used with Spring Batch 4, it should be configured by
implementing a `BatchConfigurer` and overriding the configuration in the
`JobRepositoryFactoryBean` and `JobExplorerFactoryBean`.
