I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG), 2.2.0.M1.

This release focuses on dependency updates to align with the rest of the Spring portfolio in their respective release lines, building on:

• Spring Framework 5.2.0.M1

• Spring Data Moore-M3

• Spring Session 2.2.0.M1

• And is targeted for use in Spring Boot 2.2.0.M1

What’s Next

Some of the proposed and upcoming features in the SSDG 2.2 release line include:

• Improvements in PDX Serialization support.

• And much more…​

On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode and Pivotal GemFire communities, I am pleased to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.0.0.M4.

Special appreciation goes out to @starbuxman for his invaluable feedback after SpringOne Platform 2018. And, if you have not seen Josh’s Spring Tip video on Apache, please check it out.

What’s New

Among a few minor updates, Milestone 4 adds the following new capabilities:

• Externalized configuration support with Spring Boot’s Configuration Processor and SBDG provided @ConfigurationProperties classes (Read here for more details). Inside STS or IJ Enterprise addition, developers will have the added convenience of auto-completion and content assist.

• GemFire/Geode nodes can now be named with the spring.application.name property.

• The GemFire/Geode Spring Boot starters now include Spring Shell as a runtime dependency, which is convenient when enabling and using GemFire/Geode’s management services.

• Provided a workaround to an issue in Spring Cloud Commons .

I am pleased to announce Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.0.8.RELEASE.

SSDG builds on Spring Session 2.0.9.RELEASE, Spring Data Kay-SR13 and Spring Framework 5.0.12.RELEASE along with Apache Geode 1.2.1 and Pivotal GemFire 9.1.1. Additionally, SSDG 2.0.8.RELEASE is compatible with Spring Boot 2.0.x based applications.

This release pulls in many enhancements from the 2.1.x release branch along with a few minor fixes. Highlights include:

1. Prevent saving non-dirty Sessions (Issue-12). This primarily protects against Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire bug GEODE-6032.

2. Standardize all logging on SLF4J (Issue-18).

3. Fixed bug involving incorrect synchronization lock on Session attributes passed down from the Session object on creation.

4. Fixed bug involving Data Serialization to properly identify when a user uses a custom DataSerializer to de/serialize the Session.

Greetings Spring & Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire communities-

I am happy to announce the first milestone release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire, version 1.0.0.M1.

This is a great new project building on the work started in Spring Data for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire nearly 2 years ago, when we introduced annotation-based configuration.

With Spring Boot’s "convention over configuration" approach using auto-configuration, this project takes configuration and development of Spring Boot, Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire applications to the next level, whether building and running applications in a stand-alone or a managed environment like Pivotal CloudFoundry (PCF), when using Pivotal Cloud Cache (PCC)…

Greetings Spring & Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire community.

It is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire 2.0.3.RELEASE. This release aligns with Spring Session core 2.0.3.RELEASE and Spring Data Kay-SR7.

Of course, Spring Session core 2.0.4.RELEASE and Spring Data Kay-SR8 are already available and you can expect another release of Spring Session for Apache Geode/Pivotal GemFire in early July. This is an intermediate release with:

• Upgrades to Gradle 4.8, using Spring Build Conventions Gradle Plugin 0.0.16.RELEASE.

• Updated dependencies (as noted above).

• Switched dependency management to Spring Boot’s Dependency BOM, based on Spring Boot 2.0.2.RELEASE to better align with the Spring ecosystem of projects and 3rd party dependencies.
