On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce the first release candidate of Spring Data 2025.0.0 ("Spring Data 3.5") containing amongst others:

• Several database driver upgrades accross the individual data modules.
• Refined HQL, EQL and JPQL parsing.
• MongoDB QE schema derivation support for easier collection creation.
• Deprecation warnings for parts that are going to change with the next major ("Spring Data 4.0") release. Please pay close attention to those especailly for parts that are marked for removal like the JMX support.

Going forward, we plan to ship a generally available release in May. Spring Boot 3.5 RC1 will upgrade to this milestone for your convenience. Happy Upgrading and let us know what you think about these changes, especially if you encounter any issue.
