1.7.0

1.7.0 stable release

The 1.7.0 release contains a big set of improvements, especially when talking about:

• consistency when dealing with arrays, hashes/maps (#728) and stdClass instances (#749, #730).
  This was a long standing group if inconsistencies and unexpected behaviors that now are finally solved.
  If you had issues with JSON arrays/hashes/maps serialization, and you were relying on internal/undocumented behaviors (example: extending JsonSerializationVisitor and overriding visitArray), recommended a more careful update process;
• various fixes regarding Doctrine proxies (#750) and Doctrine objects instantiation (#751).
  This was a long standing feature request to configure the doctrine object constructor behavior when a requested entity is not found;
