Immutables team is happy to announce Immutables 2.8.1 release.

This release 2.8.1 comes one month after 2.8.0 and contains several improvements, bugfixes and new functionalities.

Notable changes

Generate criteria DSL from existing JavaBeans(spec) classes. Useful for projects which use JavaBeans for legacy reasons or not yet fully migrated to immutables. See #1103
Pluggable ID resolution. Introduce IdResolver interface to allow users to provide their own annotations (or logic) for ID attribute selection. It complements default @Criteria.Id annotation.
Initial support for partial updates. Allow partial changes to be applied directly by the backend (if supported).

repository.update(person.id.is(123))
  .set(person.name, "Changed Name")
  .set(person.age, 33)
  .execute()

repository.findAll().count();
repository.find(person.age.greaterThan(33)).count();

Support BSON undefined type which is converted to java null (9a64881)
Support BSON binary data (76fb7b44)
Lazily read values from bson stream (1c07466). Potentially a performance improvement since values don't have to be deserialized unless required by deserializer. Allows faster skipChildren() calls.
Make BsonGenerator null safe on strings and numbers (ba78d7)

Changes related to mongo repositories (predecessor to criteria).

Enable _id initialization in MongoDB (#1074). PR from André Rouél
bson4gson adapter. Support BSON undefined type translated to java null
bson4gson adapter. Friendlier type conversion between BSON temporal types and java numbers (int / long etc.)
bson4gson adapter. Fix peek() method in JsonReader (6f1247)
Require Java 8

Support lazy hashing via lazyhash attribute. Contrary to existing prehash, lazyhash would compute hashcode on first access to hashCode() method.
Changed how META-INF/annotations/org.immutables.value.immutable is read - disabled URLConnection caching. PR-1060 from Canay ÖZEL
Set optBits for Modifiable, Default maps. PR-1086 from Dylan Wragge
