On behalf of the Spring, Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire communities, it is my pleasure to announce the release of Spring Boot for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SBDG) 1.3.0.M3. This release builds on Spring Boot 2.3.0.M3 and is available in the Spring Milestone Repository.

You can also create a new Spring for Apache Geode project with the 1.3.0.M3 bits using Spring Initializer at start.spring.io.

What’s New

SBDG 1.3.0.M3 builds on Spring Boot 2.3.0.M3, which pulls in Spring Framework 5.2.4.RELEASE, Spring Data Neumann-M4, Spring Session Dragonfruit-M2 with Spring Session for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (SSDG) 2.3.0.RC1 specifically, and Spring Test for Apache Geode & Pivotal GemFire (STDG) 0.0.13.RELEASE.

In addition, the following changes were made:

• New reference documentation Look-and-Feel. Special thanks to Rob Winch for helping out with this one!

See the changelog for full details.

What’s Next

Before SBDG 1.3 development comes to a close (i.e. GA), we are planning to add support for the following:

• OAuth authentication of a Spring Boot, Apache Geode client app in a managed cloud environment (e.g. PCF or K8S); See Issue #74 fo further details and progress.

• Data loading into pre-existing cache Regions similar to Spring Boot’s support for schema.sql and data.sql resource files; See Issue #67 for further details and progress.

As always, any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
