Dear Spring community,

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.

In addition to the feature themes mentioned in 4.3 RC1 announcement, the GA release includes several major changes:

• Upgrade to Spring Framework 4.3 GA, Spring AMQP 1.6 GA, Spring Security 4.1 GA;

• The FtpRemoteFileTemplate now provides ExistsMode option to control how an exists() operation should work;

• The FileSplitter lets represent FileMarker object as a JSON string (markersJson option) to avoid an additional spring-integration-file dependency on the consumer applications in distributed environments;

• A new JdbcLockRegistry feature has been introduced. Special thanks to Dave Syer!

• The Integration Graph has been improved with generic gateway nodes and LinkNode now has a type (input, output, error, discard, route) property for better visualization experience;

I am pleased to announce that Spring Integration 4.3.0.M2 is now available from the Spring milestone repository. This release closes about 50 JIRAs and includes almost a 100 commits.

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:

Dear Spring Community,

I am pleased to announce that the spring-kafka (Spring for Apache Kafka) Second Milestone for version 1.0 is now available.

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.

• The MessagingMessageListenerAdapter (for @KafkaListener method) can now infer the type for payload conversion from the method arguments.
• 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.

On behalf of the Spring Integration team I’m happy to announce the First Milestone of the Spring Integration 4.3 release.

4.3 is planned to be only a minor release with a few new features and improvements over 4.2 and will close out the 4.x line. Meanwhile we are looking forward to embrace the Reactive Foundation for the JVM in Spring Integration 5.0. We have yet to determine exactly what that means, so stay tuned! In addition, 5.0 (2017) will include the (currently separate) Spring Integration Java DSL.

We plan on finalizing 4.3 over the next few months before switching our attention full-time to 5.0 so, if there is some must have feature you need before next year…
