<action issue="COLLECTIONS-296" dev="tn" type="add" due-to="Julius Davies">
Added methods "CollectionUtils#merge(...)" to merge two sorted Collections
into a sorted List using the standard O(n) merge algorithm.

<action issue="COLLECTIONS-429,COLLECTION-434" dev="tn" type="add" due-to="Adrian Nistor, Mert Guldur">
Added method "CollectionUtils#containsAll(Collection, Collection)" with guaranteed
runtime complexity of O(n + m) and space complexity of O(n). This method may yield much
