 #1385: Create `jackson-core-[VERSION]-tests.jar` to contain shared
   test utility classes
 #1401: Rename `TreeNode.isContainerNode()` as `isContainer()` (3.0)
+#1411: Add `JsonFactoryBuilder.configureForJackson2()`,
+  `JsonFactoryBuilder builderWithJackson2Defaults()`
+ (fixed by @pjfanning)
 - Rename `JsonGenerator.Feature.AUTO_CLOSE_JSON_CONTENT` as `AUTO_CLOSE_CONTENT`
 - Add `TreeCodec.nullNode()`, `TreeNode.isNull()` methods
 - Change the way `JsonLocation.NA` is included in exception messages
