On behalf of the community, I am delighted to announce the avability of Spring Modulith 1.3 RC1, 1.2.5, and 1.1.10. While the service releases contain a few bugfixes and the usual dependency updates, the release candidate is packed with features and improvements such as (full change log here):

• An archiving event publication completion mode (thanks to Cora Iberkleid for the contribution).
• Support for MariaDB (thanks, @Fezlight) and Oracle DB (thanks to @DSXVII) in the JDBC-based event publication registry.
• Support to externalize events into a Spring (Integration) MessageChannel via the new spring-modulith-events-messaging artifact (thanks to Josh Long for the contribution).
• Event externalization now allows to add headers to the messages sent out and uses the Spring Message abstraction for broker interaction where feasible.
• Support for SpEL expressions in @Externalized.
• Deprecate event externalization for Amazon SQS and SNS in favor of the implementation in Spring Cloud AWS (thanks to Marcin Slowiak…

While the latter two ship the usual bugfixes and service release bugfix upgrades, I am particularly delighted about the milestone releases as it contains two major community contributions. Here are the most significant new features:

• Support for change-aware test execution (contributed by @lukasdo and @davidbilge) which optimizes test runs along the changes made to the application by skipping tests not affected by those.
• A new deleting event publication completion mode to — as the name suggests — immediately delete completed event publications.
• Support for contributing application modules from other packages and external JARs.
• Support for Microsoft SQL Server in JDBC-based event publication registry (contributed by @oyjoh, GH-804).
• Deprecate spring.modulith.republish-outstanding-events-on-restart in favor of the variant residing in spring.modulith.test.… (GH-823…

I am happy to announce the release of Spring Modulith 1.0.7 and 1.1.4. it primarily ships an upgrade to ArchUnit 1.1.1 which in turn includes a fix to now support the new fat JAR format of Spring Boot. It had been improved in 3.2 but unfortunately broke ArchUnit's class scanning. Spring Modulith applications that were using the runtime, actuator and observability modules had been affected and should now properly work.

Find more information about the releases in the full change logs for 1.0.7 and 1.1.4.

I am happy to announce the availability of Spring Modulith 1.2 RC1. Its most important new features are:

• Dependency upgrades to Spring Boot 3.3 RC1, ArchUnit 1.3, and jMolecules 2023.1.3
• Optimized starters to avoid them being included in the packaged JAR
• Improved reference documentation

For more details check out the full change log and the reference documentation.

The release of a first release candidate is a perfect opportunity to give the new version a try. We're looking forward to your feedback and aim for a GA release at the end of May, immediately following Spring Boot 3.3.

I am happy to announce the availability of Spring HATEOAS 2.1.5, 2.2.2 and 2.3 RC1. The primary content of the release is the upgrade to the latest Spring Framework releases as they contain a fix for a CVE.

The releases will be included in the Spring Boot service and RC release next week.
