I am happy to announce the availability of the last service release of the Spring Data Babbage release train. The release includes the following modules:

• Spring Data Commons 1.6.5 - Changelog - JavaDoc - Artifacts
• Spring Data JPA 1.4.5 - Changelog - JavaDoc - Artifacts
• Spring Data MongoDB 1.3.5 - Changelog - JavaDoc - Artifacts
• Spring Data Neo4j 2.3.5 - Changelog - JavaDoc - Artifacts

The release bundles a bunch of important enhancements and bug fixes and is a recommended upgrade. The release forms the last service release of the Babbage release train. Users are recommended to have a look at the latest releases of Spring Data Codd and upgrade to them going forward.

You can easily upgrade to the service release by including the following dependency into your project:

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-data-releasetrain</artifactId>
      <version>Babbage-SR4</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

The next step will be the first service release of the Codd release train scheduled for mid March as well as a first milestone of the upcoming release train episode Dijkstra. More details about that new release train here.
