On behalf of the community, it's my pleasure to announce the general availability of Spring Vault 1.0 – the very first GA release of Spring Vault after almost a year of development.

The artifacts are available from Maven Central and Bintray.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.vault</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-vault-core</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

The release ships more than 50 tickets fixed in total. Here’s a very truncated list of the most important features shipping with the release:

• Pluggable application authentication via AppRole, AWS-EC2, client certificates, Cubbyhole (wrapped tokens) and static tokens.
• Support for renewable @VaultPropertySource with credentials rotation.
• Lifecycle-aware session management with token renewal and re-login after terminal token expiry.
• Template API to interact with Vault directly.
• Compatibility with Vault 0.5 to 0.7.

Contributions

Without the community, we couldn’t be the successful project we are today. I’d like to thank everyone that created issues & provided feedback.

Feedback Please

If you have feedback on this release, I encourage you to reach out via StackOverflow, GitHub Issues, or via the comments section. You can also ping me @mp911 or the @SpringCloud team on Twitter.

Next Steps

The upcoming Spring Cloud Vault Config 1.0 GA release will pick up Spring Vault GA and ship as part of the Spring Cloud Dalston release train.
