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

• I love Spring Modulith and I love JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA! So imagine my joy to discover that the new IntelliJ IDEA release features support for Spring Modulith!
• Spring Cloud Oakwood has been released
• In last week's installment of A Bootiful Podcast, I talked to Spring Security lead and legend Rob Winch about the new and novel in Spring Security and what we're going to be talking about at SpringOne 2025! (Have you registered yet?)
• Spring Shell's been updated!
• Spring AI has been updated
• Spring gRPC 0.10.0 is available! This is another up-and-coming project that I've been watching with not just a little excitement, because it marries the amazing programming model of Spring and Spring Boot with the awesome gRPC protocol.

• I loved Sébastien Deleuze's talk introducing Kotlin support in Spring Boot 4
• Check out the latest and greatest in IntelliJ - lots of good stuff for Spring developers!
• IBM has a page on Spring Boot?
