Hi, Spring fans! Can you believe it's nearly December 2021? I'm still getting used to the idea that we're already in 2021 and now the year's nearly behind us! Stop the world, I want off! Time's flying.

I've been up to my eyeballs in Spring Tips video production. I can't wait for you to see tomorrow's installment (@SpringTipsLive)!

We've also got some great podcast interviews lined up. As always, new episodes drop on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc., every Thursday night (California time)/Friday (for most of the world). Don't miss it (@BootifulPodcast)!

You could also just check out my blog (joshlong.com) for the upcoming appearances, podcasts, Spring Tips videos, etc. The trouble is that the blog is otherwise pretty boring. My boring content notwithstanding, it's a plain l'il page on the internet, and I've been wanting to mix it up…

On behalf of the community, it is my pleasure to announce the general availability of Spring Security 5.6. This release is the result of the work that went into 5.6.0-M1, 5.6.0-M2, 5.6.0-M3, 5.6.0-RC1, and 5.6.0.

You can find the highlights of 5.6 in the What’s new section of the Spring Security reference.

As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How're you doin'? I'm doing alright! It's been raining cats and dogs here in San Francisco. California, the state where I live, dearly needs the rain, so it's a positive, I suppose. But it still feels miserable. Between the daylights savings time shortening the daylight significantly and the rain, it's a gloomy kind of day. At least there's a lot of good stuff to read! Let's dive right into it!

Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! How're you doin'? I've been busy as all get out emceeing the Reactive Summit 2021 event (it's free and it's online!). The event has been awe-inspiring because there are so many amazing speakers from all walks of life present and speaking. Today, the conference welcomed professor Carl Hewitt, the creator of the Actor Paradigm, as its keynote. Then, figuring there was no topping that and figuring they could go for broke, they foolishly ( muahahah! ) asked me to do the day two keynote. So, I'll be doing tomorrow's keynote…
