Liferay portal starts up 30% faster now. The velocity and service AOP advice now refer to the same spring bean and the redundant bean has been removed.

UPGRADE NOTE:

Accessing a service from a velocity template has been slightly changed. Instead of locating a service by the ServiceUtil class, you should now use the Service interface class. For example:

$serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil")

has been changed to

$serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalService")
