Changes since Guice 4.0

Guice Core:

• @ProvidedBy supports javax.inject.Provider (issue #808)
• Reduced the number of lines in error messages.
• Fix potential rare deadlock when there are multi-threaded cycles in singletons.
• Allow members injection to happen in parallel if it was requested from different threads.
• Make disableCircularProxies more strict.
• Updated the internal cglib to 3.2.0 to allow Guice to be used with signed jars.
• Various performance optimizations.

AssistedInject:

• Skip static methods in interfaces (for Java8 compatibility) (issue #937)

Servlet:

• Add Iterable overloads for the varargs methods in ServletModule.
• Add an AutoCloseable-style API for transferring the request scope.
• Normalize the path before applying filters.

Multibindings:

• Add more bound types when using MapBinder. By default, Set<Map.Entry<K, javax.inject.Provider<V>> will be bound. And additionally if permitDuplicates() is called, the following are also bound: Map<K, Set<javax.inject.Provider<V>>>, Map<K, Collection<Provider<V>>>, and Map<K, Collection<javax.inject.Provider<V>>>.

Testing Libraries:

• Fix @Bind to support javax.inject.Provider.
• Allow @Bind to bind to null if annotated with @Nullable.
• Allow @Bind(lazy=true) with Providers.

Dagger Adapter:

• Support the new multibinding declaration style (@IntoSet, etc..)
