It is my pleasure to announce that the Spring for Apache Kafka 1.0.2 maintenance release is available now.

As usual, thanks to the community for any feedback and contribution all the ways!

This release contains several critical bug fixes, therefore an upgrade is highly recommended. The master branch has now switched to 1.1 and we are starting migrating to Kafka 0.10 and other features on the matter with possible Milestone 1 later this month.

I’m pleased to announce that Spring Integration Framework 4.3 GA is now available from repo.spring.io, as well as Maven Central! Also the maintainance 4.2.8 version has been released, too. Together with an internal 4.2.7 release it includes some important bug fixes.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Especially to the Spring Cloud Stream team, whose comprehensive Spring Integration usage influences the project direction.

Some key feature since the First Milestone:

• The Spring Integration runtime object model, together with Component Metrics, now can be exposed as a graph, which may be used to visualize the current state of the integration application. When running in a web container, the @EnableIntegrationGraphController annotation, together with an IntegrationGraphServer bean, creates a service to retrieve the model and state over the REST protocol, e.g. in JSON notation:

The artifacts org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka:1.0.0.M2 and org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka-test:1.0.0.M2 are available in the Milestone repository.

Changes since the First Milestone include:

• KafkaTemplate.send() methods now return ListenableFuture<SendResult<K, V>>

to track publishing to the Kafka topic asynchronously.

• A StringJsonMessageConverter, which can use the type inference to build the target object from JSON content using the Jackson ObjectMapper.
• RECEIVED_ headers have been added from the Listener to avoid clashing (re-routing) to the same topic with the same messageKey when sending, e.g. with the Spring Integration Adapters.
• More testing utilities.
