Extended copyright years. More reasonable defaults in the mock implementation of ImplementationDetectionConfiguration in case someone might want to reuse it in other test cases.

We now use Java Beans Introspector during default bean name derivation from class names. Previously, we used String.decapitalize(…) which decapitalizes always the first character. Java Beans do not decapitalize upper case sequences so a class name com.acme.UDPRepository translates to a bean name with UDPRepository instead of uDPRepository.

If multiple repositories pointing to a single domain type are found we now favor the one registered as primary bean definition. This allows allows reliable disambiguation on which repository is supposed to be used for generic repository interactions.

Added Streamable.toStreamable() and ….toStreamable(Collector) to allow the creation of a Streamable from streams wither using a default List-based intermediate collector (former) or providing an explicit one (latter).
We now use StringUtils.hasLength(…) in the check whether to drop request elements from binding instead of ….hasText(…) as the latter drops blank strings so that's impossible to search for properties that contain a blank.
In Kotlin, it is idiomatic to deal with return value that could have or not a result with nullable types since they are natively supported by the language. This commit adds CrudRepository.findByIdOrNull(…) variant to CrudRepository#findById that returns T? instead of Optional<T>.

Extended IterableToStreamableConverter in use in QueryExecutionConverters so that it can not only return Streamable instances but also instances of types that have a factory method or constructor taking a Streamable (by making use of the ObjectToObjectConverter in a default ConversionService).
We now fall back to reflection-based PropertyAccessor/EntityInstantiator strategies when framework types are not visible by the entity's ClassLoader.
Typically, we use class generation to create and load PropertyAccessor and EntityInstantiator classes to bypass reflection. Generated types are injected into the ClassLoader that has loaded the actual entity. Generated classes implement framework types such as ObjectInstantiator and these interfaces must be visible to the ClassLoader that hosts the generated class. Some arrangements, such as OSGi isolate class repositories so the OSGi class loader cannot load our own types which prevents loading the generated class.

We now inspect all methods that match the wither method pattern (name, accepting a single argument) to find the most specific method returning the actual entity type.
Previously, we attempted to find a method only considering name and argument properties and not the return type. This lookup strategy could find a method returning the entity super type that isn't assignable to the entity type.

We now use ConcurrentHashMap as type instead of HashMap to properly synchronize concurrent updates to missing cache elements.
The previously used HashMap was not thread-safe so concurrent modifications resulted in ConcurrentModificationException.
