The State of Spring survey is back! Last time we learned that 90% of respondents were looking forward to virtual threads through Project Loom. We learned that building APIs was still the main use case for Spring applications, with plain JSON over HTTP as the number one type of API. We also…

Support timeline announcement for Spring Framework 6.0.x and 5.3.x

News | Juergen Hoeller | March 01, 2024 | ...

Dear Spring community,

As we are preparing for the Spring Framework 6.2 release later this year, it is time to phase out not only the 6.0.x branch but also the 5.3.x line.

We hereby announce that the last 6.0.x and 5.3.x releases will be published in August, with the official end of open source support on August 31, 2024. Along with Spring Framework 5.3.x, the Spring Security project makes the same adjustment for its 5.8.x timeline.

The Spring Framework 5.3.x line has been one of the longest-supported branches in Spring's history and keeps being supported under commercial support terms for another couple of years. You can read more about our commercial releases at https://spring.vmware.com

In November of last year, the team released major versions across the Spring portfolio, shepherding in a new foundation for enterprise application development on the JVM for the next decade. With that round of major versions, the Java baseline for the projects was increased from Java 8 to Java 17 as well as the migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE. Beyond the new baseline, we introduced new native compilation capabilities via GraalVM as well as improved observability across the portfolio. We realize that, while we put a lot of work into making the upgrade as seamless as we possibly can within…

Notice of Permissions Changes to repo.spring.io, January 2023

News | Michael Minella | December 14, 2022 | ...

A critical piece of infrastructure, the Spring Artifactory instance lies at the heart of the Spring portfolio development work. Since 2013, JFrog, Inc., has generously sponsored the instance for the Spring developer community.

In October 2020, we announced some permissions changes to our Artifactory instance to restrict anonymous access to the platform for third-party dependencies.

At that time, we asked the Community to source Spring releases from Maven Central. Today, we are announcing some changes to our infrastructure in alignment with that request so that we can better position repo…

Notice of Permissions Changes to repo.spring.io, Fall and Winter, 2020

News | Trevor Marshall | October 29, 2020 | ...

A critical piece of infrastructure, the Spring Artifactory instance repo.spring.io, lies at the heart of the Spring portfolio development work. Since 2013, JFrog, Inc. has generously sponsored the instance for the Spring developer community.

The Artifactory repository streamlines our project development by acting as a single location where Spring engineers can point their builds and by providing the community with early access to our snapshots and milestones.

Today, we are providing notice of some upcoming changes to the repository.
