PropertyReferenceException now not only exposes the property not found but also the already resolved Property path to make it easier to understand what is causing the exception in the first place.
Introduced MappingContext.getPersistentPropertyPath(String, Class<?>) to allow looking up a PersistentPropertyPath from a plain dot-notated path expression (e.g. foo.bar.foobar). This removes the need to use a PropertyPath in case you really only want to look up plain path expressions and the additional functionality in PropertyPath (camel case traversal and interpreting _ as hard delimiter) is not needed or wanted.
In Repositories.getCrudInvoker(…) we now throw an IllegalArgumentException if we cannot find an appropriate repository for the given domain class. Previously it just blew up with a NullPointerException without a clear error message.

In order to find a keyword like "And" followed by a property name we now probe also for non Basic Latin characters in addition to just an uppercase letter. This is needed to support property-names with characters that don't have an upper or lowercase representation. This allows us to support finder methods like: findBy이름And생일OrderBy생일Asc(…).

PageRequest now actively prevents page sizes less than one. PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver falls back to default page size if it detects a page size less than one. It also rejects invalid default configuration using @PageableDefault.
When looking up the RepositoryFactoryInformation for a domain type we now make sure we look up the user type to not accidentally try to do so for a persistence provider generated proxy class for the original type. This prevents us from not finding PersistentEntity instances, Repository- or EntityInformation accidentally.
Introduced new meta-annotation QueryAnnotation to mark and identify store specific Query annotations. This enables us to handle finder methods annotated with such store specific annotations in a generic way. Adjusted DefaultRepositoryInformation.getQueryMethods(…) to consider custom store specific query annotations.

Added appropriate test to PartTreeUnitTests to check whether the regular expression in PartTree doesn't accidentally finds keywords in property expressions.
Modified the regex for prefix_template and keyword_template in PartTree in order to support arbitrary unicode characters. Before that change we didn't support unicode correctly since we assumed that a character would have a lower and upper case representation which is often not the case, e.g. in chinese.

Added a test case to show that PagedResourcesAssembler correctly renders 1-indexed, empty pages after upgrading to Spring HATEOAS 0.8.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
We now create a copy of the keys before iterating over them in Repositories.getRepoInforFor(…) to make sure other threads can safely trigger lookupRepositoryFactoryInformationFor(…) which potentially alters the repositories instance variable. So far we haven't guarded against this scenario which caused a ConcurrentModificationException.
The configuration entry points (RepositoryBeanDefinitionParser and RepositoryBeanDefinitionRegistrar) now hand the Environment they're running in forward into the infrastructure scanning for repositories. Thus it will correctly find or not find repository interfaces based on which profiles are activated or not.
Extracted the implementation of UriComponentsContributor from PageableHandlerMethoArgumentResolver and SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver into dedicated subclasses so that we can really make Spring HATEOAS an optional dependency.
The integration tests are now guarded with an assumption to run on Spring 3.2 as Spring 3.1 has issues with JavaConfig and configuration method overrides. We've upgraded to Spring Data Build 1.2 snapshots so that the tests can be run with -Pspring32. This effectively means that the Spring Data Web support can only be used with a current Spring 3.2. Added a note on that in the reference docs and JavaDoc of @EnableSpringDataWebSupport.

Changed implementation in AbstractEntityInformation quite a bit to not need the non-final fields and a protected callback method. Cleaned up test cases to really test the new behavior, not the artificially introduced test helper class.
Original pull request: #37.
AbstractEntityInformation now detects primitive id types and adapts the isNew state according to the Java Language Specification §4.12.5. Supported are primitive Numbers and the entity is considered new if the value of the primitive field is zero.

Let both RepositoryFactorySupport and RepositoryFactoryBeanSupport implement BeanClassLoaderAware to pick up the ClassLoader used by the container. The latter class forwards the configured instance into the factory it creates.
PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver and SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now consistently use set*ParameterName(…) and setQualifierDelimiter(…) for configuration.
Added some more unit tests to verify invalid configuration get rejected.
We now leniently try to lookup DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer and create an instance of it to make use of Spring 4's improved parameter name capabilities on Java 8. We fall back on a LocalVariableTableParameterNameDiscoverer if on Spring versions prior to 4.
We're not manually converting the DateTime instance into the user field type but delegate to a ConversionService instance. This will allow us to automatically adhere to enhancements in conversion capabilities to the DefaultConversionService.
SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now has a setFallbackSort(…) to be able to configure the Sort instance to be used if nothing can be resolved from the request and sort default is configured on the controller method.
Renamed name of getDefaults(…) method in SortHandlerMethodArgumentResolver to getDefaultFromAnnotationOrFallback(…) and refactored implementation to be more understandable.
Original pull request: #36
Parameters is now a class explicitly designed for extension using generics. We provide a new DefaultParameters which is essentially a drop in replacement for former Parameters as it exposes individual Parameter instances.
Modules that previously extended Parameters will now have to implement the abstract factory methods exposed to create concrete - and potentially customized - Parameter instances.
Changed getPersistentEntity(PersistentProperty<?>) to return the actual type of the persistent property in order to deal with collection and map types transparently.
Original pull request: #31.
Introduced CrudMethods abstraction obtainable via a RepositoryInformation to inspect a repository for the presence of individual CRUD methods. The default implementation favors more special methods (e.g. the findAll(Pageable) over a simple findAll()). Introduced a CrudInvoker to be able to easily invoke findOne(…) and save(…) independently of whether the target methods are declared explicitly or inherited from CrudRepository.
Fixed some test case names to make sure they're executed during the Maven build.
PageableHandlerMethodArgumentResolver now uses replaceQueryParam(…) to make sure the query parameters necessary for pagination don't accidentally get added multiple times.
To support more advanced id property selection mechanisms we introduced a callback method returnPropertyIfBetterIdPropertyCandidate(…).
Pull request: #30.
