This second milestone aligns with Spring Framework 5.1.RC2 and is the first release with support of Java 11.

Other highlights of this second milestone include:

• Auto-configuration for task execution (@EnableAsync) and task scheduling (@EnableScheduling)
• Configurable bootstrap mode for JPA
• OAuth2 resource server support
• Improved logging output for web applications
• Improved binding for data size properties.
