Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's August 5th! Which means we're only 20 days away until SpringOne 2025! Have you registered? There's so much to cover this week, so let's dive right into it!

• Spring Shell 3.4.1 is out! - the new release includes a number of bug fixes, dependency updates, and refinements of the documentation.
• In last week's installment of A Bootiful Podcast, I talked to Spring Security lead about what to expect at SpringOne 2025, and looked ahead at the upcoming Spring Security 7.0 release.
• Spring Cloud 2025.1.0-M1 (aka Oakwood) has been released
• have you checked out the incredible new features in IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2? One of my favorite new features is that the IDE surfaces Spring Modulith validation front-and-center in the IDE itself! I've been waiting for this one for a while, and I am so happy it's here!
• I loved this feature so much, in fact, that I put together a new video looking at its use in IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2 in terms of a Spring Modulith demo - check it out!
• I looked at the new BeanRegistrar support in the upcoming Spring Framework 7 line
• I also looked at the new JmsClient in Spring Framework 7, too
• want more enterprise-grade distributed job scheduling? @Scheduled is fine, but this blog looks at some more durable alternatives
• you might also try Temporal as a way to get distributed job scheduling, and this video looks to demonstrate it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVfOa7z-Gdo)
• I am elated i got to sit down and record a discussion with our friends over at Heroku
• Gradle 9.0 is out! - congrats to the Gradle team!
• Rapheal De Lio has a nice blog on using Redis' new semantic caching to caching with Spring AI and Redis - in effect this caches both the data and a vector of the data so that fuzzy matches will still get cached. Genius!
