With a Java 8 baseline in place for quite some time now, it no longer
makes sense to refer to features such as annotations as "Java 5
annotations".
This commit also removes old `Tiger*Tests` classes, thereby avoiding
duplicate execution of various tests.
This commit adds a warning to the Javadoc for the
TYPE_HIERARCHY_AND_ENCLOSING_CLASSES search strategy in
MergedAnnotations with regard to the scope of the search
algorithm.

Since Spring Framework 5.3, BeanUtils.copyProperties() honors generics
in the source and target property types (see gh-24187); however, this
refinement of the contract was not properly documented prior to this
commit. In addition, the refinement can be a breaking change for users
who were relying on the previous unreliable behavior.
This commit therefore clarifies the behavior for generics support in
BeanUtils.copyProperties() and introduces a table of example matches
and mismatches when generics are involved.
Closes gh-27259
This commit makes sure that the response returned by coroutine handler
methods that return ResponseEntity<Flux> is unwrapped correctly.
Closes gh-27809
Attempting to create a large array in a SpEL expression can result in
an OutOfMemoryError. Although the JVM recovers from that, the error
message is not very helpful to the user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for large array creation
by throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message
in order to improve diagnostics for the user.
Closes gh-28145
This commit improves the documentation for test execution events,
especially with regard to the fact that, by default, a
BeforeTestClassEvent is not published for the first test class using a
particular ApplicationContext.
This commit also introduces tests that verify the default behavior and
the ability to change the default behavior with a custom
TestExecutionListener that eagerly loads the context.
Closes gh-27757
This commit introduces Javadoc to explain the difference between
init/destroy method names when such methods are private, namely that a
private method is registered via its qualified method name; whereas, a
non-private method is registered via its simple name.
