On behalf of the team, I am happy to announce the general availability of the Spring Cloud Camden Release Train along with Service Release 6 of Brixton. Camden.RELEASE can be found in our Spring Release repository. You can check out the Camden release notes for more information. Brixton.SR6 is largely a bug-fix release and is recommended for use with the Brixton Release Train.

Highlights of the Camden Release Train

Spring Cloud Contract is a new project that provides support for Consumer Driven Contracts and service schemas in Spring applications. Spring Cloud Netflix supports customization of Ribbon component classes via properties, uses the new community-maintained OpenFeign and includes various fixes and improvements to Zuul. Spring Cloud Consul adds support for Spring Cloud Bus using Consul's event API. The CLI adds a spring cloud command to start various Spring Cloud servers with a single command. Supported servers include Eureka, Config Server and Hystrix Dashboard.

The following modules were updated as part of Camden.RELEASE:

NOTE: Spring Cloud CLI 1.2.0.RC1 has been released. GA for the CLI project will happen shortly.

The combined release train documentation is available here.

And, as always, we welcome feedback: either on GitHub, on Gitter, on Stack Overflow, or on Twitter.

To get started with Maven with a BOM (dependency management only):

    <version>Camden.RELEASE</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>import</scope>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

or with Gradle:

buildscript {
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.1.RELEASE"
  }
}

apply plugin: "spring-boot"

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
    mavenBom 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Camden.RELEASE'
  }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config'
    compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-eureka'
