On behalf of Michael Nitschinger, I'm happy to announce the 1.0 GA release of the Couchbase Spring Data module.

Between the last release candidate and the final release, several bugs have been fixed and new features have been added.

The release artifacts are available via Maven Central. You can find the reference documentation, JavaDoc and a change log at the usual expected places.

From now on, the Couchbase module will be part of the official Spring Data release trains, starting with Dijkstra. Now that the first GA release is out of the door, we will put…
