It is my great pleasure to announce the GA release of Reactor Bismuth, which notably encompasses reactor-core 3.1.0.RELEASE and reactor-netty 0.7.0.RELEASE ?

With the release of Spring Framework 5.0 now just happening, you can imagine this is a giant step for Project Reactor :)

Like the bismuth crystal this release is intricate

 
The release contains a lot of changes and API polishing. For reactor-core you can find the exhaustive list in the release notes.

• reactor-test, reactor-extra, reactor-adapter and reactor-logback all made the cut to 3.1.0.RC1
• reactor-netty has seen significant updates and bug fixes in the new 0.7.0.M2 milestone

As the 3.1.x generation is slated to be the long term support branch (as is appropriate for a version that backs the Spring framework), focus has been on stabilizing and polishing the API. As such, expect some breaking changes from the 3.0.x versions [1].

Migrating from 3.0.x
