4.x.x release notes

4.1.0.RELEASE

Changed new PageRequest() to PageRequest.of()
Changed new Sort() to Sort.by()
Removed hardcoded dependency to hibernate-jpa-2.1-api which was restricting us to work with JPA 2.2
Pinned version of cypress because of incompatibility between cypress/browsers:chrome65-ff57 and node8
Switched to JUnit5

4.0.0.RELEASE

Behaviour of EntityLinkBuilder has been changed due to changes in Spring 5 concerning URL encoding of parameters.
- All linkTo calls in EntityViewLinks will automatically URL encode from parameters correctly.
- All calls to withPartial, withFromUrl, withViewName, withQueryParam will automatically URL encode from parameters correctly.
- Calls to to .queryParam are now seen as literals and will not be url encoded anymore. If you want query parameters to be encoded you must use templated variables as seen on https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/5.1.12.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/web.html#web-uri-encoding.
Fix bug with EntityIdProxyPropertyRegistrar: when an id value is null the EntityModel.findOne() of the target entity will no longer be called
The default navigation items generated for Across module are now by default included in the breadcrumb. Register Menu attribute AdminMenu.ATTR_BREADCRUMB to exclude them again, see also the AdminWebModule documentation.
The generic Entity management overview controller is no longer available
Improvements for manual entity registration:
- Instead of EntitiesConfigurationBuilder.create().entityType(Class, true) you can now use either withType(Class) or register(Class)
- Both alternatives behave the same and will register the type if it is missing. The only difference is the intent expressed by the method name.
data-em-button-role has been added to most important navigation buttons and links
form buttons are now wrapped in a div.em-form-actions
EntityFormStateCompleted hook and event added to SaveEntityViewProcessor and DeleteEntityViewProcessor
- allows for easier customization of the redirect and feedback messages after creating/saving/deleting an entity
