In case a link relation's target exposes a profile link (via HTTP HEAD and "Link" response header), we now try to obtain a JSON schema from the target resource and use a custom view based on the JSON Editor library fro non-GET requests.
This creates a customized, user friendly pop-up dialog for data entry with a nice polished look. If there is no profile link, we use a fallback editor for raw JSON input.

Moved /alps into a separate link underneath /profile, so that /schema can ALSO be served there as well. Also added a profile link to the collection resources, linking to collection-specific metadata. We now use strict content negotiation for each form of metadata so clients don't have to navigate a labyrinth of links. To preserve backwards compatibility, make ALPS the default metadata type.

Improved example headers to not expose we're referring to test code. Used inline code instead of bold for technical terms (HTTP methods, HTML attributes etc.).

Added integration tests to verify Spring Data REST works with Spring Security as expected. Added method level security to sample repositories and verified HTTP responses to consider those.
Added some words on security configuration in the reference documentation. This is also demonstrated by some canonical samples found in [0].

By default, whether to return response bodies for PUT and POST is determined by the presence of an Accept header, unless explicitly activated or deactivated in RepositoryRestConfiguration.

Scrubbed old format. Lightened up paging section and focus more on "next"/"prev" hypermedia controls and their benefit. Moved several sections under one top level section called "Customizing Spring Data REST". Cleaned up index.adoc to match the style of Spring Data JPA. Removed JSONP section.
Remove embedded entity operations, based on old spring-data-rest-compact media type. Utilized relative leveloffset for each include. Corrected some ALPS mistakes.

The annotation based event handling now relies on the type of the first method argument to determine the domain type the handler is interested in. Improved method invocation to not unnecessarily wrap exceptions thrown from them. Changed the test cases to throw a dedicated runtime exception to implicitly test that the
Renamed LinkSaveEvent to LinkedEntityEvent as it's not only used for save-events for entities. Make use of Methods' USER_METHOD filter. Moved the class into the util package. Removed the UUID converter as Spring's DefaultFormattingConversionService provides it out of the box.
Added missing license headers and JavaDoc. Deprecated Class<?> attributes on handling annotations.
