We are pleased to announce that Spring Cloud Task 2.1.0.M2 is now available on Github and the Pivotal download repository. Many thanks to all of those who contributed to this release.

What's New?

Spring Cloud Task 2.1.0.M2 is intended to be the version of the framework aligned with Spring Boot 2.1.0. Updates from 2.1.0.M1 include:

• Update all dependencies.
• By popular demand, @EnableTask is back.
• Bug Fixes.

Let's walk through these updates in more detail.

@EnableTask is back

By popular demand, @EnableTask is back, with a twist! In this case, AutoConfiguration is still being used to create the TaskExplorer, TaskConfigurer, and other beans but does not create the TaskLifecycleListener (the bean that adds the Task Lifecycle to your application). The TaskLifecycleListener bean is created when a user adds the @EnableTask to their application or configuration. We added this back to let users who are building their own applications that are not tasks but monitor or browse the task repository build applications by using the provided autoconfiguration.

What Do You Think?

We look forward to your feedback on these new features in Github, StackOverflow, Gitter, or directly via Twitter to @michaelminella or @cppwfs!
