Dear Spring Community,

I am happy to announce the 4.6.0 release of the Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Theia.

Highlights from this release include:

• (Spring Boot) performance: improved performance while scanning projects for symbols
• (Spring Boot) performance: improved performance when multiple files change at once (e.g. after a switch to a different branch or a git pull + refresh)
• (Eclipse) bugfix: source lookup for Spring Boot launch configs works again
• (Eclipse) documentation: There is a new section in the user documentation that focuses on migrating an existing workspace from Spring Tool Suite 3 to Spring Tools 4: https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/wiki/STS3-Migration

To download the distribution for Eclipse and find links to the marketplace entries for Visual Studio Code and Theia, please go visit:

Enjoy!
