Various fast returns and the use of Class instead of TypeDescriptor led to e.g. List<BigDecimal> not getting properly converted to List<Integer> leading to unexpected ClassCastExceptions when the collection elements where accessed.
We now consider more than 16 immutable and nullable Kotlin properties per bucket in generated PropertyAccessors.
Previously only the first 16 properties were considered due to truncation of the defaulting bitmap. We used SIPUSH to render the defaulting mask in bytecode which is intended for 16 bit integers (short). Migrating to LDC (runtime constants) preserves the actual constant value of 32 bits and so we're considering now full buckets.
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.
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 correctly calculate the number of defaulting masks used to represent constructor arguments. Previously, we've been one off which caused that Kotlin classes with 32/33 parameters weren't able to be instantiated.
We also now reuse KotlinDefaultMask to apply defaulting calculation and removed code duplicates.
We now use the primary constructor of Kotlin classes to discover the copy method. We use the primary constructor args to compare signatures and only use the copy method that takes all parameters in the constructor args order. This allows to find the appropriate copy method in case the class declares multiple copy methods.
We now also cache the copy method (KCallable) to reduce lookups in BeanWrapper.

We now avoid using a Lambda to provide a default ObjectMapper instance in the code that's reflectively guarded against Jackson not being present. The lambda causes a method to be generated for the class that will require ObjectMapper to be present on reflection inspection of that method. Switching to a method reference to ObjectMapper's constructor resolves that problem as the indirection via the additional, offending method is not needed.

One of the constructors of Pageable wasn't properly checking for assignability of Pageable parameters to detect them but was expecting Pageable itself being used under all circumstances. This has now been opened up by an assignability check.
We now reject reactive repository metadata by RepositoryConfigurationExtensionSupport.useRepositoryConfiguration(…) assuming that Spring Data modules provide only imperative repository support by default. Reactive store modules are required to override useRepositoryConfiguration(…) anyway to not accidentally implement imperative repositories with a reactive Repository extension.
We now attempt to use private MethodHandles lookup as the first mechanism to resolve a MethodHandle for default interface methods and fall back to reflection-based Lookup construction if private lookup is not available. Reflective availability is checked lazily to prevent illegal access on enum constant construction. This approach prevents an illegal access which was logged by attempting a reflection-based lookup first.
We also introduced a FALLBACK mechanism to split encapsulated access from a fallback mechanism.

We now use Spring's ReflectUtils.defineClass(…) to load generated EntityInstantiators which uses internally either MethodHandles.Lookup.defineClass(…) (on Java 9 and higher) or reflective defineClass invocation on the originating ClassLoader. Class injection into the originating ClassLoader assigns the ClassLoader of the entity to the generated class which allows optimized instantiation of package-protected classes and constructors.

Previously, ConvertingPropertyAccessor did not override PersistentPropertyAccessor.setProperty(PersistentPropertyPath, Object), so that the target value had to be of the leaf property's type. We now implement that method and convert it into that type before invoking the super method.
Both the XML and annotation based configuration sources now support a bootstrap mode configuration property that allow to configure whether repositories are eagerly initialized unless declared as lazy, initialized in a deferred way (just before the application context finishs bootstrapping) or entirely lazy (upon first usage, i.e. a method invocation).
We now register a custom AutowireCandidateResolver that will consider all injection points of lazy repositories lazy too. This will prevent them to accidentally trigger downstream infrastructure initialization.
We now use HashMap to store persistent properties of a PersistentEntity. An entity is built in a single thread so no concurrent modification happens. Concurrent reads may happen during entity usage which is fine as the PersistentEntity is not changed anymore. Previously, we used ConcurrentReferenceHashMap defaulting to soft references. Soft references can be cleared at the discretion of the GC in response to memory demand. So a default ConcurrentReferenceHashMap is memory-sensitive and acts like a cache with memory-based eviction rules.
Persistent properties are not subject to be cached but elements of a PersistentEntity and cannot be recovered once cleared.

CustomRepositoryImplementationDetector now works in two differend modes. If initialized with an ImplementationDetectionConfiguration, it will trigger a canonical, cached component scan for implementation types matching the configured name pattern. Individual custom implementation lookups will then select from this initially scanned set of bean definitions to pick the matching implementation class and potentially resolve ambiguities.
The newly introduced method indicates whether any properties have to be populated to create instances of the entity. This is useful for objects that are completely initialized through their constructors as converters then can avoid iterating over all properties just to find out none of them have to be populated.
The exception messages used in the PersistentProperty.getRequired(Getter|Setter|Wither|Field)(…) now mention the name of the property that's offending.
This is needed for downstream projects that attempt to merge persistent entity instances and previously didn't have a chance to detect that an object had to be set as-is instead of being merged recursively.
PersistentPropertyAccessor is now generic to be able to retain the type information about the object it was created for and the return type of ….getBean(). Adapted client APIs.
As setting a PersistentProperty can actually change the object that the property is changed on, we now recursively traverse property paths up as longs as the setting of the property results in the bean not being replaced.
We've changed the APIs in the auditing subsystem so that we support immutable entities, mostly through MappingAuditableBeanWrapperFactory that uses a PersistentPropertyAccessor.
We now support updating of immutable Kotlin data objects by creating new copies through Kotlin's copy method that is generated along with data classes and immutable properties.
