On behalf of the team and all contributors, I am pleased to announce that the first release candidate of Spring Batch 5.2 is now available from our milestones repository.

This release marks the feature freeze milestone of version 5.2 and comes with a number of bug fixes, dependencies upgrades and documentation enhancements. For the complete list of changes, please check the release notes.

What's next?

First, I would like to thank all contributors who had a role in this release! Spring Batch 5.2.0-RC1 comes with Spring Boot 3.4.0-RC1.

We will continue our work of making this release candidate as stable as possible towards a GA in November 2024. We look forward to your feedback on Github Issues, Github Discussions, Twitter, and StackOverflow.

Please note that version 5.1.x will be out of OSS support by November 22, 2024. Therefore, I encourage our users to start planning to upgrade their apps to Spring Batch 5.2.0 as soon as it is released.
