Specification Version 4.0

[x] Removal of bundle option usePredefineCalls (CPOUI5FOUNDATION-760)
[x] New option “async“ for builder.bundles.bundleDefinition.section. Only applicable if mode = “require”. Default value “true” (CPOUI5FOUNDATION-760)

[ ] ui5-builder: Remove XMLCompositeAnalyzer.js. XMLComposite controls were deprecated with UI5 1.88.0
- Note long-term support of older UI5 releases which still make use of this. Maybe make this an opt-in option in ui5.yaml?
[ ] ui5-builder: Relocate generateJSDoc to thirdparty module (JIRA: CPOUI5FOUNDATION-593)
[ ] ui5-builder: Task API changes (minify / buildThemes) in context of Task Workers RFC (CPOUI5FOUNDATION-700)
[ ] ui5-server: Remove or deprecate testRunner middleware (required resources are part of the npm packages since UI5 1.115)
[ ] ui5-project: Limit execution of generateManifest task to framework libraries?

[ ] New type component (https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/45)
[ ] CDN proxy or adapter as an alternative to downloading UI5 dependencies in environments with slow I/O
- Possible a server-only setting or CLI flag
- Would also pose a workaround for https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/265
[ ] New extension deployment-task (name to be decided) (https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/490); with corresponding enhancements in specVersion
[ ] New project type project-expansion (name to be decided) which allows to add resources from a different module to an existing project (https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/500)
- For example the resources of a polyfill module will then become part of an application project's resources (i.e. included in preloads and with the same flattening on build/serve); with corresponding enhancements in specVersion
[ ] ui5-fs: Add an Adapter to handle archives, e.g. .zip / .jar (https://github.com/SAP/ui5-fs/pull/454)
