How can you help?

After unfavorable weather on Maven central caused service disruption much of today, skies have finally cleared up, and I am pleased to announce a full round of Spring Framework releases: the 5.2.3 release on the current production branch, along with maintenance branch releases 5.1.13, 5.0.16, and 4.3.26 with selected backports.

Please note that the 5.0.x and 4.3.x lines have reached the end of active maintenance, with just one final wrap-up release expected on each branch before the official EOL date at the end of this year. The 5.1.x line remains active but will be updated less frequently (~ once a quarter) than the 5.2.x line (~ every six weeks) throughout 2020. For more details, please check the 2020 Roadmap blog post. TL;DR: Please upgrade to 5.2+ at your earliest convenience!

On behalf of the Spring Data team, I’m happy to announce the first milestone of the Neumann release train. This release ships over 260 tickets fixed. The Neumann release train is planned to ship major driver upgrades. This initial milestone covers all of our major version increments and ships driver upgrades to Elasticsearch 7 and the DataStax Java driver 4.3 for Apache Cassandra.

The most important new features are:

• Repository support for Kotlin Coroutines.
• Upgrade to Cassandra Driver 4.
• Upgrade to Elasticsearch 7.
• Major refactoring of the Spring Data Elasticsearch Template API. Reactive client based on WebClient and reactive repository support.
• Upgrade to Solr 8.4.
• Upgrade to Geode 1.10.
• Support for fully immutable types (setting properties via copy constructors).
• Spring Data R2DBC is part of the Spring Data release train.

On behalf of the community, I’d like to announce that that Spring Data Moore SR4 and Lovelace SR15 are available now.

Moore SR4 ships with 59 tickets fixed and Lovelace SR15 ships with 34 tickets fixed. Both releases contain mostly bug fixes and dependency upgrades. Moore SR4 is built on top of the recently released Spring Framework 5.2.3 and will be picked up by Spring Boot 2.2.3 for easier consumption. Similarly, Lovelace SR15 uses Spring Framework 5.1.13 and will be included by Spring Boot 2.1.12 in the coming days.

Hi, Spring fans! What a week! I have … nothing… happening this week! You know why? I had jury duty for which I was summonsed in mid-2019. I had to postpone it since I was on the road. I finally report to the court to serve as a juror for some trial unknown, this month, January 2020, and I was there… for maybe two hours. I was excused! You should definitely do your civic duty, of course. But, it was awesome to have it over and done within a few hours. I had blocked out the entire week, just in case. So, now I’m working on my Reactive Spring book, writing a ton of code to support improvements to the production pipeline of my podcast, and so much more.
