On behalf of the Spring Data engineering team and everyone who contributed to this release, I am pleased to announce general availability of Spring Data 2024.1 from Maven Central!

This release wraps up our support for Value Expression, completing support for Configuration Properties in @Query methods. You can now use Config Properties in your query methods in JPA, MongoDB, Cassandra, JDBC/R2DBC, and Neo4j.

Extending Spring Data by 3rd-Party Libraries is now much simpler. Developers of Spring Data repository extensions can use our newly introduced SPI discovery mechanism to mount repository fragments as if the fragment would be part of your codebase without the need to register them manually.

Spring Data for Apache Cassandra features Keyspace qualification for tables and user-defined types so that you can leverage multiple keyspaces in a single application without using multiple CQL sessions.

We've refined Jedis Client configuration in Spring Data Redis and deprecated our own Micrometer Integration in favor of Lettuce’s Micrometer Observability classes.

To find out more about what’s new, see the release notes and the individual module reference documentation.

This release will be included in the upcoming Spring Boot 3.4 GA release. We'd like to hear from you, so keep the feedback coming.

Going forward, we focus our efforts on the upcoming major release 2025.1 next year November. We have some exciting features around performance improvements and debugging experience in the pipeline.
