Dear Spring Community,

We are happy to announce the release of Spring for Android 1.0.1!

Spring for Android is an extension of the Spring Framework that aims to simplify the development of native Android applications.

This release adds support for Jackson 2.x in RestTemplate through the new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter. It also addresses several bugs and compatibility issues with RestTemplate and Android Jelly Bean. See the changelog and reference manual for more information.

To retrieve the software, download the release distribution, or add the maven artifacts to your project. Sample apps are available at github.com/SpringSource/spring-android-samples

If you are building an Android app, we encourage you try out Spring for Android 1.0.1 and collaborate with us on the next iteration of the project.
