On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce the first release candidate (RC) for the next Spring Data generation.

The RC ships with mainly refinements around the various new features as well as bug fixes and dependency upgrades.

If you haven't done so already we'd kindly ask you to try out the new features and provide feedback to help us iron out the last rough edges.
