Dear Spring community,

On behalf of the Spring Framework team and many recent contributors, it is my pleasure to announce that Spring Framework 5.2 is generally available from repo.spring.io as well as Maven Central! Check out our updated docs…

• What’s New in Spring Framework 5.2
• Upgrading to Spring Framework 5.2
• Our revised reference documentation with side by side examples for Java as well Kotlin.

Spring Framework 5.2 requires JDK 8 or higher and specifically supports JDK 11 as the current long-term support branch as well as JDK 13 as the latest OpenJDK release. It comes with many performance improvements (affecting startup time as well as peak performance) and further steps taken towards GraalVM native image support (still experimental).

On behalf of the community and everyone who has contributed, it’s my pleasure to announce that Spring REST Docs 2.0.4.RELEASE is available from Maven Central, JCenter, and our release repository. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release by reporting bugs and opening pull requests.

This maintenance release includes a small number of fixes and documentation improvements. It is a recommend upgrade for all Spring REST Docs 2.x users.

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring, a weekly roundup where I get to swim through the great content in the ecosystem and learn things and hopefully share interesting tidbits with you all. I mark my calendar by the number of This Week in Springs, so imagine my elation to realize looking at the calendar that we’re really close to the epic SpringOne Platform 2019! I can’t believe it!

The event takes place soon - October 7–10, 2019 - in Austin, Texas. That’s just around the corner, but I’ve still got a few places to get to. I’m in Madrid, Spain, for the epic CodeMotion Madrid show. Then it’s off to Guadalajara, Mexico for the Java day Mexico show; and then it’s off to Taipei, Taiwan for the JCConf lead by the Taiwan JUG. Then, finally, it’s off to the land of BBQ and Spring, SpringOne Platform! I can’t wait to see you all there.
