 Changes in version 0.5 (2004-xx-xx)
 -----------------------------------
+
 * AuthenticationProcessingFilter by default finds configuration context using Spring's WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext()
 * AuthenticationProcessingFilter context may optionally be specified with 'contextConfigLocation' param (was previously 'appContextLocation')
 * SecurityEnforcementFilter by default finds configuration context using Spring's WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext()
 * SecurityEnforcementFilter context may optionally be specified with 'contextConfigLocation' param (was previously 'appContextLocation')
+* SecurityEnforcementFilter now supports URL definitions using the Apache Ant path syntax in addition to regular expressions
+* Documentation improvements
