Spring for GraphQL 1.4 RC1 Released

Releases | Brian Clozel | April 17, 2025 | ...

On behalf of the Spring for GraphQL team, I am pleased to announce the availability of 1.4.0-RC1, our last stop before the generally available release. In case you missed it, 1.4.0-M1 already shipped lots of new features and improvements.

You can read the full changelog for 1.4.0-RC1 and the upgrade notes on our wiki.

DataLoader observations

The Spring for GraphQL instrumentation creates Micrometer Observations for GraphQL requests and DataFetcher operations. Some data fetching operations are relying on batch loading calls to avoid the "N+1 problem". In previous generations, one would not see the difference between a "full" data fetching operation and one that simply delegates to DataLoader

Spring Framework 7.0.0-M4 Available Now

Releases | Brian Clozel | April 17, 2025 | ...

On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I am pleased to announce a new milestone for the next Spring Framework generation. The fourth milestone continues delivering new features and refinements on top of 7.0.0-M1, 7.0.0-M2 and 7.0.0-M3.

Class-File API usage for Java 24+ apps

Spring Framework reads class bytecode to collect metadata about the application code. Historically we have used a slim ASM fork for this purpose, through the MetadataReaderFactory and MetadataReader types in the org.springframework.core.type.classreading package. Although Spring applications typically have no direct exposure to this API, this is especially useful when parsing @Configuration
