Camel 2.12.0 release (currently in progress)

New and Noteworthy

Welcome to the 2.12.0 release which approx XXX issues resolved (new features, improvements and bug fixes such as...)

• Endpoint Annotations along with automatically created HTML documentation for the endpoint parameters; this makes it easier for component developers to add a few refactoring-safe annotations to their Endpoint or Consumer implementations and, (along with javadoc comments on the field or setter method), get nice user documentation on how to use the endpoint for free.
• ComponentConfiguration API provides a handy API for tools developers to introspect on a Component to find all the possible parameters, their types and any extra annotations (like Bean Validation Annotations) to be able to create/edit endpoints or URI strings so that tools can generate nicer UIs for configuring endpoints than just letting folks edit Strings.
• Spring Web Services now supports setting/receiving SOAP headers more easily using a header on the Camel Message.
• Evaluating Groovy expressions is faster as we cache the compiled scripts.

Fixed Issues

• Fixed setting .id in Java DSL on some EIPs such as the Validate
• Fixed Dead Letter Channel always handled exception, which wasn't the case if an Exception Clause was in use, which didn't had handled=true.
• Fixed Using PropertyPlaceholder in attributes defined on <camelContext>.
• All Camel Components will configure their consumers when being created to ensure you can configure from URIs with consumer. as prefix.
• Fixed QuickfixJEndpoint to adhere a given InOut MEP correctly.
• Fixed using property placeholders in a Simple predicate used inside a when in a Content Based Router when using Java DSL
