Spring Boot 1.1.3 is available now in Maven Central. This was primarily a bugfix release for Windows users needing the executable JAR features of Spring Boot, but several other issues were resolved, and there are plenty of documentation and third-party version updates too.

Thanks again to all the people who contributed (84 committers now and rising)!

Spring Boot 1.1.0.RC1 is available now in the Spring repositories. There are some new features and some new documentation:

• Autoconfiguration support for Spring Data Elastic Search, HornetQ messaging, Spring Social

• Upgrades to Tomcat, Spring Integration, Reactor and Groovy

We are on schedule for a GA release some time in the next 2 weeks, so please try out the RC1 and get feedback onto github as soon as you have time.

Spring Boot 1.1.0.M2 is available now in the Spring repositories. There are quite a few new features and plenty of new documentation:

• Groovy Template and Velocity support for MVC and offline rendering.

• Big changes to the HealthIndicator interface and the existing implementations, e.g. all database backends (like Mongo etc.) have a default HealthIndicator and the Actuator aggregates them all up into a single readout.

• Support for Spring Data Solr and Spring Data Gemfire, and upgrade to the Spring Data Dijkstra release train

• Support for multiple DataSources through a convenient

DataSourceBuilder abstraction, plus a similar feature for JPA …

Spring Boot 1.0.2.RELEASE is available now in the Spring and Maven Central repositories. This is mostly a bug-fix release (nothing major, but please upgrade if you are using an older version). There are also a couple of nice new features.

My favourite additions are the new @IntegrationTest features. Here's an example:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = SampleActuatorApplication.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@IntegrationTest("server.port=0")
public class SampleActuatorApplicationTests {

	@Value("${local.server.port}")
	private int port…

Spring Security OAuth 2.0.0.RC1 is available now from the Spring Repo. This is a huge step in the direction of modernisation and ease of use for OAuth server and client apps on Spring.

The headline feature is support for @Configuration(for OAuth2 only) and if you use Spring Boot to write your app you can serve tokens and protect the API resources in about 25 lines of code:

@Configuration
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@EnableResourceServer
@RestController
public class Application {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args…

Spring Boot 1.0.1.RELEASE is available in Maven Central and the repo.spring.io repository. This is a bug fix release, although a couple of new features have been added:

• MessageSource caching can be specified in application.properties
• ActiveMQ connection credentials can be externalized to application.properties
• There is a new section on Security auto configuration in the reference guide

There was a security bug-fix for the Actuator, so anyone using Spring Security and the Actuator endpoints should upgrade. No backwards compatibility problems or changes to existing functionality are…

Spring Boot 1.0.0 (RC4) has been released and is available in the repo.spring.io repository. There are some bug fixes from RC3 and a load of updated third-party dependencies. New features include

• Support for Spring Loaded reloading of classes during development in Maven and Gradle builds.

• Lots of new documentation (all in the source code but published as usual at http://projects.spring.io/spring-boot.
• Automatic main class detection for "gradle run".
• Support for relaunching and incrementing Spring Batch jobs on startup.

If there are no more…
