Dear Spring community,

As we are preparing for the Spring Framework 6.2 release later this year, it is time to phase out not only the 6.0.x branch but also the 5.3.x line.

We hereby announce that the last 6.0.x and 5.3.x releases will be published in August, with the official end of open source support on August 31, 2024. Along with Spring Framework 5.3.x, the Spring Security project makes the same adjustment for its 5.8.x timeline.

The Spring Framework 5.3.x line has been one of the longest-supported branches in Spring's history and keeps being supported under commercial support terms for another couple of years. You can read more about our commercial releases at https://spring.vmware.com…

On behalf of Spring Cloud Dataflow team, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Spring Functions Catalog. The project's primary focus is to provide a set of standalone Java functions that can be useful in the end-user applications as-is. All the published artifacts are, essentially, auto-configurations for some specific Supplier, Function or Consumer.

We have just released 5.0.0-M1 into https://repo.spring.io/milestone repository, and all you need is to include this BOM into your Gradle (or Maven) configuration:

org.springframework.cloud.fn:spring-function-dependencies:5.0.0-M1

and choose…

The Spring AI project was founded based on the realization that creating AI applications was no longer the sole domain of Machine Learning or AI Specialists, who typically use Python. With the meteoric rise in popularity of ChatGPT, which provides a simple Web API to access pre-trained models, creating compelling AI applications has become accessible to software…
