On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the availability of the GA version of Spring Data release train Fowler.The release ships almost 400 tickets solved.

The most core theme of the train is advanced support for Java 8: the MongoDB and JPA modules now support Streams as return type for repository methods and we now support non-time-zoned JDK 8 date/time types our of the box and also integrate with the Java 7 back-port of that API.

Spring Data MongoDB ships with compatibility for the 3.0 version of the server and the corresponding driver version. Spring Data Gemfire now supports…

On behalf of the Spring Data team I'd like to announce the availability of the second service release for Spring Data release train Evans as well as the fifth - and final one - of Spring Data Dijkstra.

The releases ship 191 tickets fixed, some of them quite significant bugfix and performance improvements and thus the releases recommended upgrades within the trains. The Dijkstra service release is planned to be the last one for that train. Users are recommended to upgrade to Evans as bug fixes will only be ported to that branch going forward.

Find all resolved tickets for Evans SR 2 here, all tickets for Dijkstra SR5 here. Up next is the first release candidate of the Fowler release train that already contains a few very interesting features…

We've just announced the availability of the GA release of the Spring Data release train named Dijkstra. I'd like to use this chance to walk you through some of the features we added in this release.

5 new modules joining the train

The first big feature the release includes is the addition of 5 modules to the release train. Most of them have been around for quite a while but going forward we'll release them in sync with the other modules. The newly added modules are Spring Data Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Couchbase, Gemfire and Redis.
