The first and only release candidate planned for Spring Web Flow 2.5 is now available from the Spring Milestones repository. The samples repository has been updated to use it.

This release provides an upgrade path to Spring Framework 5 along with Java 8, Servlet 3.1, Hibernate 5, Tiles 3, and JSF 2.2 as minimum requirements.

In this release "spring-js" has been merged with "spring-webflow" so there is no longer a separate "spring-js" module. As a result some configuration classes have changed packages. The "spring-js-resources" module is still available but as an optional module that must be included explicitly if needed.

Please give the release candidate a try and report any issues. The final release is currently scheduled for early March.
