On behalf of Michael Nitschinger I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first release candidate of the Spring Data module for Couchbase.

The highlights of this release are (usual bugfixes and stability improvements aside) the support for custom repository queries backed by views, the possibility to customize view queries through the @View annotation and @Version support on entities for optimistic locking. Also - when XML configs are used - the beans can now be configured through SpEL expressions. This RC1 release is available from the Spring IO milestone repository. The complete changelog can be found here.

Since we are now feature complete for the 1.0 GA version, we are now concentrating on performance, stability and documentation. Let us know about any bugs found so we can fix them before the final release.

If you want to learn more about Couchbase in general and the Spring Data Couchbase module in particular, join Michael Nitschinger's webinar on February 27th.
