Whenever Spring Security increments a minor version, there is some manual work to do:

  • Bump the version in SpringSecurityCoreVersion
  • Add an .rnc and .xsd file
  • Bump the version in schema.handlers
  • Bump the version in XsdDocumentedTests
  • Bump the schema count in XsdDocumentedTests
  • Bump the version in security.tld
  • Bump the version in gradle.properties
  • Replace the old What's New section with a skeleton

It would be nice to have a task that did all of this and formulated a corresponding Git commit.
