Minor enhancement to functionality

1. Modify the way the application identifies the correct manifest file to determine title and version of the app.
2. Alter the file cleanup logging messages to make it easier to debig issues.
3. Correct minor spelling errors in logging statements

Scanner filtering, file name parsing and HTTP auth

Add an exclude filter option for the file polling module to support large files using a temporary extension until file is copied to directory
Add support for including extra parts of a parsed file name into the final parameter in the "format" attribute for file name parsing.
Support HTTP authentication on a per partnership basis.
Document the use of HTTP authentication, file filters and file name parsing functionality.

Make Async MDN sender use the "no_chunked_max_size" attribute

1. Make Async MDN sender use the "no_chunked_max_size" attribute to switch between chunked and Content-Length modes of sending
2. Add "sentdir" attribute to documentation for saving sent files on DirectoryPollingModule.

Restrcited HTTP Headers and MDN Signing Control

1. Provide ability to use restricted headers in HTTP with partnership level overrides for the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header
2. Allow unsigned MDN to be sent using the "none" keyword for the "as2_mdn_options" attribute
3. Use a Java 7 compatible method call for a Map class method that required Java 8

Support filename parsing functionality in MDN subject

1. Allow MDN subject to use filename parsing functionality to set the text.

Windows service and other performance enhancements

1. Support for deploying as a Windows service - see OpenAS2HowTo.pdf for details
2. Allow all components in the config.xml to use the attribute enhancer feature.
3. Fix possibility of logs getting cleared
4. Fix the DB logging module not being able to use the "tcp_server_start" parameter is always true in previous versions.
5. Optimise the move file method
6. Optimise the HTTP client handler
7. Rationalise the PID environment variable name to match between service script and startup script

HTTP, MDN and general code optimization

1. Supports Java 7 and up. Java 6 (Java 1.6) is no longer supported.
2. Provide "log" command to dynamically alter logging levels in real time without restarting the application.
3. Rationalize MDN sending so that Synchronous and Asynchronous are processed by a single module. NB See upgrade notes for class name change.
4. Move HTTP header folding removal to HTTPUtils for centralised management
5. Make the HTTP "User-Agent" header configurable via a property.
6. Default "Message-Id" format complies with https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt section 3.6.4.
7. Provide ability to configure emails for successfully received and sent files.
8. Upgrade libraries to the latest release.
9. Support using system environment variables in config.xml
10. Change attribute name for overriding Message-ID format at partnership level to match name at system level. NB See upgrade notes for attribute name change.
11. Allow modules to have scheduled tasks using the HasSchedule implementation.
12. Add scheduled task to detect failed sent messages where files are not cleaned up. (Fixes https://sourceforge.net/p/openas2/tickets/5/)
13. Allow attributes in partnership element to reference other partnership elements and resolve the references at load time.
14. Default sample in partnerships.xml for "as2_mdn_options" to use the "sign" attribute value for the micalg value.
15. Support AS2 ID with spaces in the value.

Java 6 and 7 compatibility fix

1. Fix using a Java 1.8 call to ensure 1.6 compatibility
2. Enhance documentation around certifcate creation and deployment.
