v4.5.0

• [chg] Java 21 support.
• [chg] Update Seed version to 3.15.0.

v4.4.0

v4.3.0

• [new] Fluent assembler now has a String based argument on the DSL chain to simplify the use of Named Assemblers
• [new] DomainEventHandler has a priority field to allow fine-grained control over execution order
• [new] Events can now be annotated with @PriorizedEvent, that allows an instance of DomainEventInterceptor to take control of event handlers that are launched (By default, PriorityEventHandlerInterceptoris being used if not stated explicitly)
• [chg] BaseAssembler and BaseTupleAssembler now has a default implementation that simplifies the creation of one way assemblers
• [chg] Built and tested with OpenJDK 11 (target is still 1.8).
• [chg] Updated Seed version to 3.9.1

v4.2.2

• [fix] Fix potential resource leak in DataManagerImpl.

v4.2.1

• [new] Java 9 compatibility.
• [new] Add sorting support to BaseInMemoryRepository.
• [chg] Make SizePicker (specialization for page-based pagination) extend LimitPicker.
• [fix] ComparableSpecification and its descendant were not properly evaluating the comparison result.

v4.2.0

• [new] Paginator can now paginate streams and iterables of arbitrary objects (not only aggregates through repositories).

v4.1.1

• [chg] The class configuration defaultRepository and defaultAssembler are now real defaults and don't clash with code-based bindings anymore.

v4.1.0

• [new] Add business-migrate module to help migration from 3.x based projects.

v4.0.0

• [new] A default implementation of getId() has been added in BaseEntity which searches for a field named "id" or annotated with @Identity.
• [new] DDD specifications have been added.
• [new] A specification builder allows to create DDD specifications with a fluent DSL.
• [new] Add SPI and base infrastructure for specification translation.
• [new] New methods in the Repository interface allow to work on multiple aggregates with specifications.
• [new] Business framework now takes advantage of Java 8 features (notably streams and optional).
• [new] FluentAssembler can now assemble and merge streams of objects among other useful types (arrays, lists, sets, slices, pages and arbitrary collections).
• [new] A pagination DSL injectable through the Paginator interface has been added.
• [new] Add an in-memory default implementation of repository (useful for testing or other specific use-cases).
• [new] Annotating an implementation with @Overriding will allow it to override an existing similar implementation.
• [new] It is now possible to specify the qualifier of the identity generator directly on the identity field.
• [chg] Extracted ModelMapper automatic assemblers to a separate add-on.
• [brk] The @MatchingFactoryParameter annotation has been renamed to @FactoryArgument.
• [brk] The @MatchingEntityId annotation has been renamed to @AggregateId.
• [brk] The typeIndex() method of @FactoryArgument and @AggregateId annotations has been renamed to aggregateIndex().
• [brk] The Assembler methods assembleDtoFromAggregate(), assembleDtoFromAggregate() and mergeAggregateWithDto() have been renamed to createDtoFromAggregate(), mergeAggregateIntoDto() and mergeDtoIntoAggregate() respectively.
• [brk] The BaseAssembler and BaseTupleAssembler now follow the Assembler interface (no more do*() methods).
• [brk] The getEntityId() method of Entity has been renamed to getId().
• [brk] The Repository interface has been refactored as a collection-like interface.
• [brk] The Factory and GenericFactory interfaces are merged into a unique Factory interface.
• [brk] The DomainObject interface has been removed.
• [brk] The old pagination API has been removed.
• [brk] Intermediate interfaces of FluentAssembler DSL have been renamed.
• [brk] Generic events have been replaced by domain-only events.
• [brk] The interface IdentityHandler has been renamed to IdentityGenerator to better reflect its responsibility.
• [brk] The source parameter from @Identity annotation has been removed. This is better done in class configuration.
• [brk] The handler parameter of the @Identity annotation has been renamed generator.
