MappedProperties now exposes a factory method that uses the Jackson introspector for serialization (instead of deserialization) which now also includes read-only properties. Previously, read-only ones were not considered as they are excluded from the metadata if it is looked up for deserialization.
We now support adding a to a collection via JsonPatch expressions by using the collection's size as target index. Contrary to paths pointing to existing collection elements we cannot determine the type of the object to be created. Thus, we fall back to the common element type of all existing collection elements. We also reject indexes pointing to elements with an index greater than the current collection's size.
Forwarding headers handling is now centralized in ForwardedHeaderFilter and removed from ServletUriComponentsBuilder. We need to filter requests containing forwarding with ForwardedHeaderFilter.
DomainObjectReader now aborts the recursive merges in case it encounters an entity that's described as @Immutable (just introduced in Spring Data Commons).
Fixed some generics and removed DomainObjectMerger as it's unused.

Adapted RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration to now create a shared fallback ObjectMapper and avoid to register it as Spring Bean. Adapted test cases that previously were relying on such a bean being present.
Adapted test cases to verify on the correct ALPS document structure (see spring-projects/spring-hateoas#665).
Fixed @since tag in new converter implementation as we're going to backport the fix to Kay. Simplified converter setup in RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration to expose less API until someone actually requests access.

We now provide and configure a converter for String to LdapName conversion so Spring Data LDAP can be used with Spring Data REST without further configuration.

ResourceMetadataHandlerMethodArgumentResolver.supports(…) now properly checks for ResourceMetadata. It previously checked for RepositoryInformation which is probably a left-over from a previous state of the codebase and has been unnoticed so far as the class is only used as a direct dependency of other HandlerMethodArgumentResolvers.
ExposureConfiguration exposes methods to register AggregateResourceHttpMethodsFilter and AssociationResourceHttpMethodsFilter (both applied by type or globally) to customize the supported HTTP methods by collection, item and association resources. It also provides shortcuts for common use cases like disabling PUT for item resources etc.
I edited for grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, and corporate voice. I also added the epub-cover image (and the SVG file from which it can be generated).
