Added a dedicated dependencies.adoc that outlines the usage of the Spring Data release train BOM as well as the way one would customize the release train to be used with Spring Boot.
Also, we now explicitly list the Spring Framework version the release requires.
DomainClassConverter as well as its internal ToEntity- and ToIdConverter implementations now actively refrain from matching if the source type is assignable to the target one to prevent unnecessary conversion attempts if the source value already actually is assignable to the target type.
Related ticket: DATACMNS-583.
Introduced a new overload for invokeQueryMethod(…) that uses a MultiValueMap with effective values of type Object so that clients can hand non-String values to the invocation. This is particularly useful if certain values shall trigger dedicated Converters registered in the ConversionService of ReflectionRepositoryInvoker.

AnnotationBasedPersistentProperty now also caches the absence of properties that are expressed through accessors only. Previously the absence of a field caused us to skip the registration of the absence in the cache.
In case a RepositoryMetadata implementation alters the domain type the repository is actually handling, we still have to be able to find the repository based on the type originally declared in the repository.
The newly introduced getAlternativeDomainTypes() is now used by Repositories to register a repository for all types returned by that method, too, so that this reverse lookup still works.
Removed obsolete line-breaks in repositories documentation. Replace TWR worth with less ambiguous try-with-resources. Slight rewording. A few more details and fixed use of monospace font in return type reference.
Original pull request: #119.
Added section to repository documentation on how to use streams. Added an overview table for the generally supported return types for query methods.

Removed the ability to configure a custom SpElExpressionParser for now as it's not really part of the performance optimization. Polished assertions in SpelEvaluatingMethodInterceptor.
Original pull request: #118.
We now allow a SpelExpressionParser to be configured on the SpelAwareProxyProjectionFactory. This parser is then passed on to SpelEvaluatingMethodInterceptor. We also now eagerly pre-parse any SpEL expression in @Value annotations on methods of the projection interface. This avoids repeated evaluations during the actual method invocations.
Original pull request: #118.
Introduced @SpringDataWebConfigurationMixing that can be used on configuration classes that are supposed to contribute components to the Application context when @EnableSpringDataWebSupport is used.
SpringDataWebConfigurationImportSelector scans the org.springframework.data package for classes annotated with that annotation and adds them to the classes to be considered config classes.
TrasnactionalRepositoryFactoryBeanSupport now exposes a setEnableDefaultTransactions(…) which, if disabled, causes the TransactionalRepositoryProxyPostProcessor not to be registered and thus no default transactions to be applied.

Extracted DefaultMethodInvokingMethodInterceptor from RepositoryFactorySupport and register it within ProxyProjectionFactory if the code is running on Java 8.
Original pull request: #117.
Primarily intended to be used with Distance instances, we introduce a Range value type. Distance now has factory methods to create Range instances between two distances. To support this, Distance now implements comparable based on the normalized value of it.
Tiny refactoring in TypeDiscoverer to avoid code duplication between the lookup of parameter type information for constructors and methods.
Added stream to the list of supported query method prefixes. Allow Stream to be used as return type for paginating queries, too.
Renamed Java8StreamUtils to StreamUtils. Some additional JavaDoc.
Original pull request: #116.
A CloseableIterator abstracts the underlying result with support for releasing the associated resources via close() which can be transparently be used with try-with-resources in Java 7 since Closeable implements AutoCloseable from Java 7 on upwards. Added detector methods to QueryMethod to check whether the current method returns a Stream.
Introduced ReflectionUtils.isJava8StreamType to safely detect whether the given type is assignable to a Java 8 Stream. Introduced CloseableIteratorDisposingRunnable that can be registered as a cleanup action on a Stream.
Original pull request: #116.
The custom factory created to extend all repositories with additional behavior needs to return the type of the custom repository base class from getRepositoryBaseClass(…) to make sure the infrastructure can use it to inspect the CRUD methods correctly. Previously the documentations showed an interface being returned.
Code formatting in the example and inline code highlighting.
Added test cases to make sure that request parameters both in separate values (i.e. ?ids=1&ids=2) as well as comma separated ones (i.e. ?ids=1,2) are translated into a Collection correctly.

Extend AuditableBeanWrapper to allow access to the last modification date of a target object. Made AuditableBeanWrapperFactory an interface and renamed what’s been previously known under this name as DefaultAuditableBeanWrapperFactory.
The components previously relying on a MappingContext to lookup a PersistentEntity now use PersistentEntities to be able to back a collection of MappingContexts behind that and also avoid unmanaged types to be added to the MappingContext.
We now also register the JSR-310 and ThreeTen back-port converters with the ConversionService to be able to get and set auditing dates as these types.
We now ship a ProxyingHandlerMethodArgumentResolver that gets registered when @EnableSpringDataWebSupport is activated. It creates Map-based proxy instances for interfaces used as Spring MVC controller method parameters.
Made ObjectInstantiator interface public as otherwise the generated class to implement it cannot access it and thus the usage of the ByteCodeGeneratingEntityInstantiator fails completely.
PreferredConstructor.isEnclosingClassParameter(…) now eagerly returns if the parameter itself is not an enclosing one and thus avoids a collection lookup and equals check. Moved equals check for the type to the very end of the equals check to increase the chances that other inequality guards kick in earlier.
AbstractMappingContext now leaves the non-null-check for getPersistentEntity(…) to the factory method of ClassTypeInformation.
We now pre-calculate the hash codes for TypeInformation implementations as far as possible as the instances are used as cache keys quite a lot. The same applies to AbstractPersistentProperty.
BasicPersistentEntity now uses an ArrayList we sort during the verify() phase to mimic the previous behavior wich was implemented using a TreeSet as ArrayLists are way more performant when iterating over all elements which doWithProperties(…) is doing which is used quite a lot.
BeanWrapper now avoids the getter lookup if field access is used.
SimpleTypeHolder now uses a CopyOnWriteArrySet to leniently add types detected to be simple to the set of simple types to avoid ongoing checks against the inheritance hierarchy.
Introduced a map(Converter converter) method on Slice and Page to be able to easily transform the elements and create a new Slice or Page of the transformation result.
On Java 8 this allows code like this:
Page<String> strings = …;
Page<Integer> ints = strings.map(String::length);
In case the repository lookup for a given domain type fails we traverse the given types super-types and try to detect a repository for those.
Original pull request: #110.
Simplified implementation of Path conversion. Inlined helper domain types to not to pollute the packages with types that are only used within that very one test class.
Original pull request: #111.
Ported the projection infrastructure previously residing in Spring Data REST and extended it by defaulting to a Map-backed source to store and retrieve data.
Separated out the SpEL based functionality mostly for SOC-reasons and easier testability.
