On behalf of the community, I am delighted to announce the avability of Spring Modulith 1.3 RC1, 1.2.5, and 1.1.10. While the service releases contain a few bugfixes and the usual dependency updates, the release candidate is packed with features and improvements such as (full change log here):

• An archiving event publication completion mode (thanks to Cora Iberkleid for the contribution).
• Support for MariaDB (thanks, @Fezlight) and Oracle DB (thanks to @DSXVII) in the JDBC-based event publication registry.
• Support to externalize events into a Spring (Integration) MessageChannel via the new spring-modulith-events-messaging artifact (thanks to Josh Long for the contribution).
• Event externalization now allows to add headers to the messages sent out and uses the Spring Message abstraction for broker interaction where feasible.
• Support for SpEL expressions in @Externalized.
• Deprecate event externalization for Amazon SQS and SNS in favor of the implementation in Spring Cloud AWS (thanks to Marcin Slowiak).
• Support for custom application module identifiers via @ApplicationModule / @Module.
• Automatic technical architecture validation for jMolecules (Hexagonal, Onion and Layered Architecture).
• Application Module Canvases generated now contain Javadoc for listed types and event listener methods.

The release candidate is the perfect opportunity to give the new features a try or even just validate that you can safely upgrade from the 1.2 generation. We are shooting for a GA release right after Spring Boot 3.4 end of November.
