The default exposure of repository methods is now controlled via RepositoryRestConfiguration.setExposeRepositoryMethodsByDefault(…). If set to true (the default), a repository that is detected for exposure (which in turn can be controlled via RepositoryDetectionStrategy) will have default resources exposed in case of the mere presence of CRUD methods. Setting this to false will require you to explicitly annotated those methods with @RestResource.
Added RepositoryRestConfiguration.disableDefaultExposure() to set the RepositoryDetectionStategy to ANNOTATED and disables default method exposure in one go. That can be exposed via a Spring Boot configuration property downstream.
Previously, when a request was sending an Accept header of some arbitrary *+json, the request was routed through the controllers and might have ended up producing a PersistentEntityResource that was then mapped using an uncustomized Jackson ObjectMapper. That has caused a huge JSON object to be unfolded which is highly undesirable.
We now only answer JSON requests to repository resources that contain an Accept header with any of the explicit JSON media types we got registered.
Tweaked the setup of the ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver to not expose a bean in the first place but rather use the Spring MVC provided callbacks to register custom ones. We also now make sure MVC is bootstrapped property for integration tests through the inclusion of DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.
We now allow sorting by properties of embedded objects. An embedded object is not linkable to a root object but embedded in the resource itself. If any part of the sort property path points to a linkable association, the whole sort property path is discarded silently and not used for sorting any further.

We now interpret If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers on requests to resources backed by query methods returning a single instance only. This allows clients to optimize GET requests to those resources to save bandwidth.
We now support nested Sort properties considering Jackson mapping. Sort translation is optional and skipped if the domain class is not resolvable. Translation in the scope of a domain class maps property paths to apply sorting using embedded properties.
A sort string `nested-name` resolves to a property path `anotherWrap.embedded.name`.
