The Spring Blog

On behalf of the team, I am pleased to announce that Spring Framework 5.1.1, 5.0.10 and 4.3.20 are available now.

The first maintenance release of the 5.1 line includes over 30 fixes and improvements. Spring Framework 5.0.10 also includes a wide range of 20 fixes and improvements while Spring Framework 4.3.20 is a rather minimal patch release.

The first release candidate of Spring Boot 2.1, based on Spring Framework 5.1.1, is around the corner! We’ll also follow up with corresponding Spring Boot 2.0.6 and 1.5.17 releases later this week.

Hi Spring fans! This week I’m in sunny San Francisco for the epic SpringOne Tour San Francisco event. I’m also heads down preparing for the rush of travel ahead of me. Starting on the 14th, I’ll start four weeks of travel, bringing the message far-and-wide to Toronto, St. Petersburg, Brussels, San Francisco, Hartford, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, and.. I forget.. but there’s more! I’m so looking forward to seeing you all at each and everyone of those places!

I also loved this tweet from Pivotal today for me:

We’re please to announce the release of Spring Cloud Open Service Broker 3.0.0.M1. The 3.0 release introduces full reactive support and builds upon 2.1.0.M1, which will support additions and changes in the Open Service Broker API v2.14. This release includes:

• First class support for Spring WebFlux and Project Reactor
• The starter has been renamed because it now supports both Spring web frameworks
• Introduces several reactive life cycle hooks for performing additional operations

Include the following Spring Boot starter:

We’re please to announce the release of Spring Cloud Open Service Broker 2.1.0.M1. The 2.1.0 release will support additions and changes in the Open Service Broker API v2.14. This release includes:

• Support providing an updated dashboard_url when updating a service instance
• Resolves issues with deserializing the model objects that were converted to the builder pattern

View the closed issue list on GitHub. The next release, 2.1.0.M2, will include support for asynchronous bindings. Watch for it in the coming weeks.

Whew! What a week! I’m exhausted! I’ve been running around visting one customer after another this week and it’s only Tuesday! My brain is still a smoldering hole from the craziness of last week’s epic SpringOne Platform 2018 event in Washington DC, and needless to say there’s a ton of new things to investigate and tons of videos to be available to the audience soon. This week is a wee bit more tame, so without further ado, let’s get to it!

I don’t know where you are in the world as you read this but I hope you’ll join me 17:00 BST, for my appearance at the vJUG where I’ll be looking at Bootiful Testing - join us!

I take the opportunity of a short stop between SpringOne platform where I gave the first talk about Spring Fu and Kotlinconf to give an overview of the evolution of this project, summarize the current status and share what could be the next steps.

Early June, I announced a new experimental project named Spring Fu, with the goal to experiment on a new kind of API to configure Spring applications using Kotlin DSL and functional configuration.

Today, I am proud to announce a new experimental project: Spring Fu. It is a @Kotlin micro-framework that makes it easy to create lightweight Spring-powered applications with functional APIs instead of annotations. We are looking for feedback. https://t.co/R15wJ1gD8K pic.twitter.com/ScljoPZ8rW

On behalf of the community, I’d like to announce the general availability of Spring Vault 2.1. Spring Vault 2.1 requires JDK 8 or higher and specifically supports JDK 11 as the next long-term support release. The most notable changes of Spring Vault 2.1 are:

• Extending infrastructure-based authentication to support Google Cloud IAM and Azure Managed Service Identity.
• Integrating Vault’s versioned Key-Value backend.
• Wrapping API support.
• Java 11 compatibility.

This release is compatible with Vault versions from 0.5.2 up to 0.11.1.
