On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce that Spring Batch 5.0.0-M2 is now available from our milestone repository.

This second milestone comes with two major features:

• Introduction of the new Observation API from Micrometer 2.0 which gives you both metrics and tracing for your batch jobs!
• Addition of SAP HANA as a supported database for the job repository

Moreover, this release comes with a number of enhancements and dependencies updates. For more details about all the changes, please check the change log.

I would like to thank all contributors who had a role in this release! As we continue our work on Spring Batch 5, we look forward to your feedback on this second milestone!
