On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce a new milestone for the next Spring Framework generation. We have compiled all the upgrade information, new features and deprecations on the Spring Framework 7.0 release notes preview page.

Resilience Features

After the introduction of the org.springframework.core.retry package in 7.0.0-M6, effectively moving features from the former "spring-retry" project, we recently introduced dedicated @Retryable, @ConcurrencyLimit and @EnableResilientMethods annotations. This is now documented in the "Resilience Features" section of the reference documentation…

Hi, Spring fans! It's already the 15th of July! We're closer to 2026 than we are to 2024. And time's sure flying. Like I will, tomorrow. I'll be flying to Denver for the amazing UBERCONF software show! I'll be doing a workshop and two talks, and if you're there, I hope you'll come say "hi"!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I write this having spent a wonderful week in paradise (Bora Bora, French Polynesia, to be precise) with my partner Tam Mie. We were so very sad to have to say goodbye.

But that means I'm officially back at my desk, with nary a manta ray to be found anywhere. Sigh. That's okay, though, as there are a ton of amazing things to read and catch up on - so let's dive into this week's roundup (if not the pearly blue, crystal-clear oceans of the South Pacific)!

• Good news, everybody! Spring gRPC 0.9.0 is available now!
• In last week's installment of A Bootiful Podcast, I talked to the legendary Dr. Heinz Kabutz.
• Andres Almiray did a follow-up blog to our post introducing Spring AI and Oracle DB as a vector store back in May—this one on connecting Spring AI to Oracle Autonomous DB.
• A nice blog post looking at what's new in Spring Boot 4.0.
• Come watch AWS developer advocate and industry legend James Ward, and yours truly, as we explore AI with Spring AI and Amazon Bedrock.
• JUnit 6.0.0.M1 is available for, erm, testing!
• Spring Modulith lead Oliver Drotbohm looks at the overhauled event publication registry support in Spring Modulith 2.0…

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I'm happy to announce that Spring gRPC 0.9.0 has been released and is now available from Maven Central. We are still planning to have a 1.0.0 release around the same time as Spring Boot 4.0.0.

The main changes in this release are

• Upgrade to Spring Boot 3.5.
• StubFactory contract changes: the "supports" method is now a static method (it is called before an instance is created).
• Removed GrpcClientFactoryCustomizer in favour of GrpcChannelBuilderCustomizer.
• Added ability to filter interceptors in in-process gRPC clients.
• Added ability to filter global interceptors and service definitions - easy to do for InProcessGrpcServer and possible to do for NettyGrpcServer by registering a customizer.
