The Spring Blog

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I’m happy to announce that Spring Boot 2.1.3 has been released and is is now available from repo.spring.io and Maven Central.

This release includes over 70 fixes, improvements and dependency upgrades. Thanks to all those who have contributed with issue reports and pull requests.

If you are still using Spring Boot 2.0.x, an upgrade to Spring Boot 2.1.x is strongly encouraged. Following the announcement that Spring Framework 5.0.x will reach its EOL in March, Spring Boot 2.0.x will follow suit with a final release in the 2.0.x line planned for late March. As previously announced, Spring Boot 1.5.x will continue to be maintained until it reaches its EOL in August.

It was a lot of fun to talk to Greg Turnquist, one of the more industrious and variously applied members of the Spring family, about how he found his way to the Spring team and community, Python, his new book, Spring team legends like Keith Donald and Brian Dussault, and so much more.

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’d like to announce the availability of the Lovelace SR5 maintenance release. This release ships on top of the just-released Spring Framework 5.1.5. Spring Boot 2.1.3 is going to pick up Lovelace SR5, for your convenience.

The service releases ship with mostly bug fixes and a few dependency upgrades addressing about 40 tickets.

Hi Spring fans! In this installment of Spring Tips we look at Gemfire… err.. Apache Geode, the fantastic distributed data grid you’ve probably never heard of, BUT YOU SHOULD, that integrates nicely with the Spring Data for Apache Geode project.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring.

We’ve got good stuff to get to but first, I want to invite you to be part of the discussion and consider submitting to the SpringOne Platform 2019 event. The call-for-papers opened today!

Now then, we’ve got a ton to get to this week so without further ado..

• WATCH: Hi Spring fans! In last week’s Spring Tips I looked at testing reactive code.
• LISTEN: For last week’s installment of The Bootiful Podcast I talked to Dror Weiss about Codota, which aims to bring much smarter code completion to your IDE
• Spring Cloud Data Flow 1.7.4 and Skipper 1.1.4 Released
• Spring Cloud Data Flow and Skipper 2.0 M2 Released
• Notice! The legacy question-and-answer forums will be shutdown February 28! The good news, of course, is that we’re still on StackOverflow and we’d love to engage with you there!
• This is a bit meta, but would you like to learn a little more about what it is I (try) to do, in my capacity as the first Spring Developer Advocate at Pivotal? You might enjoy this episode of the Devrel Radio podcast
• I’d like to welcome back Sam Brannen to the Spring team. Sam was a member of the Spring team years ago and contributed to, among other things, the Spring Test support. He’s also now the lead committer of JUnit 5. It’s so nice to have him back! Welcome, Sam!
• I like this writeup on RxJava vs. Reactor. SPOILER: it depends!
• Join us at SpringOne Tour London! We’d love to see you there!
• I love this example by Robert Roeser demonstrating RSocket-based RPC, Proteus, and Project Reactor’s Kafka client.
• I think this is a pretty interesting discussion of AOT Compilation of Spring Boot from the Excelsior JET team blog

Hi Spring fans! In this installment I talk to Dror Weiss, CEO of Codota, a company that seeks to make smart code completion in your IDE even smarter.
