On behalf of the entire team I'd like to announce the availability of two service releases for Spring Data release trains: Hopper SR4 and Gosling SR6. The releases are recommended upgrades as they contain fixes for a CVE in Spring Data JPA.

Spring Boot 1.3.8 and 1.4.1 users got Hopper SR3 and Gosling SR5 shipped out of the box. Those releases also already contain the fixes for CVE but unfortunately broke Java 6 compatibility. To re-instantiate the latter, please upgrade to the latest ones by setting the spring-data-releasetrain.version property to the corresponding value. Non-Boot users can just upgrade to the new BOM. As usual, the next Spring Boot releases will pick up the improved fixes as part of…

On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the availability of the second service release of the Spring Data Gosling release train. The release ships 45 issues fixed and contains an important bugfix for an issue in Spring Data JPA's method metadata detection. Thus it's a recommended upgrade for all Gosling users and also users of previous release trains.

The release is be included in the just released Spring Boot 1.3.1 release which should make the upgrade a non-issue. If you're using the BOM, make sure you upgrade to Gosling-SR2A (note the trailing A). A tiny glitch during the…

On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the availability of the second service release of Spring Data release train Fowler. The release ships 40 tickets fixed and is a recommended upgrade for all users due to an important bugfix in the support for JTA 1.2's @Transactional.

Spring Boot users can upgrade to the new version by setting the spring-data-releasetrain.version property in their Maven POMs to Fowler-SR2, Non-Spring Boot users are recommended to use the Spring Data release train BOM as described in our example repository and configure it to the very same version.

On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the availability of the final service release of the Spring Data release trains Evans and Dijkstra. Evans SR3 ships 114 tickets fixed, Dijkstra SR6 has 56 bugs squashed.

Dijkstra is the last release train compatible with Spring 3.2 and picks up the latest service release of that as well. Evans has been superseded by Fowler (currently in use in Spring Boot 1.2) which saw a first service release today as well. The service releases are basically considered a conclusion of the branches and upgrading to Fowler is recommended to all users.
