+ externalize some of the jar versions
+ align the versions of some dependencies between pom.xml and ivy.xml

fixed WebSphereUowTransactionManager regression: correctly roll back in case of exception (SPR-6695)

extended registerAfterCompletionWithExistingTransaction's exception handling to detect JBoss RollbackException as well (SPR-6450)

newTransactionStatus reverted to its original role, just without preparing synchronization (SPR-6521)

SPR-5327: tweak the ivy.xml so that commons-logging is a separate configuration.  It already comes out as optional in the generated poms (including core), which isn't great, but I can't see what is causing that

initialize synchronization after begin while instantiating TransactionStatus as early as possible (SPR-6409)

SPR-5507 The 'shutdownOrder' property of SmartLifecycle has been renamed 'phase'. The order no longer applies to shutdown only; now startup order is determined by the phase value as well. Components start in ascending order and stop in descending order.

TransactionTemplate catches undeclared checked exception and rethrows it as UndeclaredThrowableException (SPR-6361)

SPR-5507 Added support for shutdown order on SmartLifecycle. DefaultLifecycleProcessor now manages the shutdown in phases depending on that order (with a timeout value per group).

SPR-5507 GenericMessageEndpointManager now implements SmartLifecycle instead of ApplicationListener.

WebSphereUowTransactionManager suspends synchronizations even without existing transaction (SPR-6167)

SPR-4716 GenericMessageEndpointManager now "auto-starts" upon receiving a ContextRefreshedEvent rather than within afterPropertiesSet().

SPR-6119 - Add slf4j dependency back to orm's pom.xml but in test scope as it is needed to run tests that use Hibernate
SPR-5956 - Remove commons-logging dependency definitions in pom.xml for all but spring-core so as to make exclusion rule easier for user who use slf4j

initialize transaction synchronization before doBegin call in order to avoid OutOfMemory failures after resource binding

Jpa/JdoTransactionManager passes resolved timeout into Jpa/JdoDialect's beginTransaction; HibernateJpaDialect applies timeout onto native Hibernate Transaction before begin call (SPR-5195)
