Swagger-Core 1.5.4 Released!

This release includes major functionality improvements in swagger-core, including migration of the swagger-servlet project for annotating non JAX-RS-based projects to support swagger.

Please note that we have moved support for the Play! framework into a separate project

As with all swagger OSS projects, we couldn’t have made so much progress without support from the community. A special thanks to @webron, @lugaru1234, @iushankin, @tomtit and @elakito for all your efforts!
